After yesterday’s huge replace, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead is not achieved. It is simply deployed a contemporary warbond to supply to gamers taking up the brand new Illuminate menace that is arrived as a part of Omens of Tyranny. The highlights, gear-wise? Effectively, a giant new flamethrower, and a giant pointy electrical stick.
In case you missed it, the sport’s simply had a huge dose of contemporary life injected into its veins by the arrival of the lengthy rumoured alien faction from the primary Helldivers – they’re taking on Tremendous Earth colonies by turning harmless residents into zombie-like “Voteless” through mysterious area magic.
Now, the City Legends Warbond has dropped, and it is specfically geared toward gamers battling for the planet Calypso, within the new city areas that’re gonna be key to this subsequent collection of main orders, for the reason that preventing might be happening on the streets of ruined colonies.
So, what’s within the warbond? properly, there’s the SQC-19 Stun Lance, which is Helldivers 2’s “first melee secondary weapon”, and is principally a zappy electrical stick you may pair properly with the additionally new SH-51 Directional Protect stratagem, which can assist you to “metal your self for shut quarters fight”.
The 2 different stratagems on provide are the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement – which is geared toward taking out closely armoured foes as you’d count on – and the one I believe sounds probably the most enjoyable of all of those because of its potential to trigger chaos, a “stationary, high-powered flamethrower turret” referred to as the A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry. “Watch out with this one, although, Helldiver,” Arrowhead writes of the sentry, “if the crimson ammo canister takes an excessive amount of hearth, the entire sentry will go up in flames, taking anybody close by with it.”
Alongside these, there are heavy and light-weight armor units dubbed the SR-18 Roadblock and SR-24 Avenue Scout, each coming with a passive that will increase major weapon reload pace by 30% and first ammo capability by 20%. The previous hasd Spartan vibes to it visually, which is clearly designed to slot in with the brand new “That is Democracy” emote, which’ll allow you to kick a man like that scene from 300.
You can even count on the same old sorts of cosmetics and a brand new booster that provides your resupply pods their very own helpful defensive turrets.
