Arrowhead Game Studios has lifted the lid on the next Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2, giving dedicated players a new set of gear to unlock. The Freedom’s Flame Warbond will launch on August 8th and features new armour, weapons, capes and more. The theme this time around is, as you might have guessed from the name, hot hot burning flames. The P-72 Crisper, in particular, looks like a handy little thing to bring to a BBQ.
As a Premium Warbond it’ll require paid Super Credits to unlock but as always these can also be earned through game progression.
You can see the new gear in action in the trailer below, along with a list of some of what’s included via the PlayStation Blog:
FIREPOWER
SG-451 Cookout
Burn, baby, burn! A pump action shotgun that unleashes a burst of incendiary phosphorus pellets at your helpless enemies.
FLAM-66 Torcher
A lightweight flamethrower shooting pressurized fuel through a nozzle into a roaring, open flame. Sounds safe. It isn’t. Watch where you’re standing.
SECONDARY WEAPONS & UTILITY BOOSTER
P-72 Crisper
A flamethrower that fits in your pocket for the Helldiver on the go! What will those guys think of next? This lovely compact handgun projects a jet of freedom flames over short distances.
Fiery Drop – Firebomb Hellpods
Scorch the earth (and anything else) below as you touch down with attitude and ignite the dropsite.
ARMOUR
I-09 Heatseeker
Proudly display the burnished blood-red plates that were forged in righteous fire, like the heroes they were wrought to protect — a true vision of democracy.
I-102 Draconaught
Ah, there’s nothing quite like those satisfying screeches as the enemies of freedom burn. Enjoy it all in this 14-cm sheathed silica fiber foam armor with an exclusive tube-to-ear feature.
Armor Passive
Inflammable! Enjoy 75% damage resistance to fire as you run head-first into danger like the unstoppable legend your mum said you’d be.
Title: Fire Safety Officer
You can now call yourself a Fire Safety Officer. Doesn’t come with a certificate.
Skin: Safety Orange
Repaint your Shuttle, Hellpod, and Exosuit in striking Safety Orange.
CAPES & CARDS
Purifying Eclipse
A heartfelt tribute to the Liberation of Choepessa IV in the First Galactic War, in which so much orbital ordnance was detonated that its sun was occluded by ash for an entire lunar cycle.
The Breach
The final mission of the 361st Freedom’s Flame saw this storied unit deploy into the heart of a Supervolcano in a mission of heroic sacrifice. Triggering a huge eruption, this act of incredible bravery wiped out a massive Terminid swarm. As documented in the bestselling graphic novel ‘The Breach,’ it is available at all good book shops on Super Earth.
