After yesterday’s large replace, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead is not finished. It is simply deployed a recent warbond to supply to gamers taking up the brand new Illuminate risk that is arrived as a part of Omens of Tyranny. The highlights, gear-wise? Effectively, an enormous new flamethrower, and an enormous pointy electrical stick.
In case you missed it, the sport’s simply had an enormous dose of recent life injected into its veins by the arrival of the lengthy rumoured alien faction from the primary Helldivers – they’re taking up 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 sequence of main orders, because the 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 mainly a zappy electrical stick you’ll be able to pair properly with the additionally new SH-51 Directional Defend stratagem, which is able to help you “metal your self for shut quarters fight”.
The 2 different stratagems on supply are the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement – which is geared toward taking out closely armoured foes as you’d anticipate – and the one I feel 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 pink 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 Road 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 too anticipate the standard sorts of cosmetics and a brand new booster that provides your resupply pods their very own useful defensive turrets.
