Gear up for the latest Helldivers 2 update, introducing the anticipated Polar Patriots Warband set to release on May 9. This new content infusion brings a variety of fresh gear and weaponry to Helldivers 2, along with a plethora of exciting customization options.
As with many online multiplayer games, Helldivers 2 boasts a progression system. Referred to as a Warbond, players must earn medals to unlock in-game rewards. These rewards span from new weapons to a diverse selection of helmets, capes, colors, and other customization features. Players have the flexibility to choose what they unlock at their own pace, provided they have sufficient medals for purchase. The Warbonds come in both free and premium versions, with the game recently unveiling the upcoming pass for players to dive into.
Entitled the Polar Patriots Warbond, this fresh pass is set to debut on May 9, introducing a range of new items to Helldivers 2's arsenal, including the AR-61 Tenderizer assault rifle, the SMG-72 Pummeler SMG, and the PLAS-101 Purifier. The updated Warbond also incorporates various secondary weapons like the G-13 Incendiary Impact flame grenade, the semi-automatic P-113 Verdict, and Motivational Shocks for reviving downed Helldivers. Additionally, the new Warbond showcases polar-themed armor sets such as the CW-36 Winter Warrior and CW-4 Arctic Ranger, alongside a selection of new capes for players to unlock.
