Helldivers2 announced that the next warbond, the game's battle pass equivalent, will arrive on 5/9, bringing the temperature of this war down a lot. The Polar Patriots lead with the line "A deep freeze is coming to the galaxy" before introducing cold-themed armor, new weapons, and a plethora of white phosphorus grenades to balance things out.

There's also a fancy cloak and a cool new emote, but we all know what we're here for: firepower. The new AR-61 Tenderizer assault rifle trades huge power for a small magazine of "real tentacle tears" where "no patriotic "joke" shots are not recommended."Helldivers who have been seeking more SMG options salute the arrival of the SMG-72Pummeler, which has a slower firing rate than the existing Smg but boasts a concussion round that leaves the enemy "dazed, confused, and still very ugly.""Finally, we have the PLAS-101 purifier, which is basically a massive laser that gets powerful enough to keep pushing the trigger. 

On the secondary side, the P-113 verdict, a semi-automatic pistol with a very large bullet, sounds like an equivalent to some kind of deagle, alongside the effects of the g-13 incendiary.

"Don't waste time reading the instructions," says Arrowhead."It explodes on impact and spreads white phosphorus over a fairly wide range around the target.

Most interestingly, warbond adds a new utility booster (passive ability) called Motivation shock. "Literally, it shocks Helldiver back into action after being hit and slowed by a sneaky, unjustified attack like rebel bug acid vomit.""Now that's how you get peak performance.

Available armor includes a Winter Warrior set (perk: Servo Assist) that disguises players in snowy environments, a Kodiak (Perk: Enhanced) set that has been thoroughly pressure-tested by patriotic volunteers who "must not forget the sacrifice", and a utility belt that protects all Batman's armor. Includes Arctic Ranger Suit (perk: Scout), where you can go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic, or go for a ride in the Arctic

There are 3 new cape designs and 3 emotes. Of these, the Pick will have to distribute ballots, which is basically an emotive slash meme that "makes it rain", but for democracy Dollar Bill generation

Arrowhead is now emoting under its own avalanche of dollars, Helldivers2 has already become a "Sony-published game in history" with more than half of those sales on the PC. (At least in the U.S.). It feels just like a reward for one of the most exciting live games we've seen in some time, inclusive Galactic Warfare continues to throw twists, turns, and conspiracy theories. Such is the success that Casper Van Dien, the main man of Hell Divers 2 Starship Troopers, called it "really very great"
