The latest Helldivers 2 Warbond, entitled The Exo Experts, launches April 28. Read on for full intel on what to expect.
Machines… Our enemies… But they can also be forces for good, tools at our disposal, and when you need to fight fire with fire it is important to be an Exo Expert.
The Ministry of Defense has authorised the immediate mobilisation of new Exosuits to aid in our ongoing war efforts against the enemies of Managed Democracy.
Weapons and Stratagems
Let’s start where all good Warbonds start, with the latest offensive items included in the Exo Experts*. Beginning with EXO-51 Lumberer, a modern reinvention of the Lumberers of the first Galactic War, this Exosuit is equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower allowing you to unleash maximum devastation upon your foes and then purge smaller enemies in the flames of Liberty.
Next up, we have the EXO-55 Breakthrough. Brandishing a flak cannon and a ballistics shield, allowing you to face off with Super Earth’s toughest foes whilst laying down heavy fire.
For those who don’t like to overburden themselves, we are introducing the MGX-42 Bullet Storm: a disposable machine gun sporting caseless ammunition in multiple barrels. Each usage includes two of these so you can throw them away when you are done.
Not forgetting our ground troops! We have the SMG-203 Gallant, a submachine gun with a high rate of fire, this is the MP-98 Knight’s older brother, sacrificing clip size for increased penetration. Finally to round out your kit, try the new P-33 Missile Pistol utilising the latest in guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature. Proven to hit its target 60% of the time, every time.
Armors and Capes
To ensure you remain compliant with safety regulations, make sure you have these new armors. The O-2 Heavy Operator armor is the state mandated uniform for Super Earth Citizens who must operate heavy machinery and is best paired with the Watchful Compatriot cape, which sports a retro print that was first made popular in GW1 cereal merchandising. It helps citizens to remember that not all machines are twisted mechano-socialists; some are piloted by true-hearted humans and we can all rest easy in their gaze.
The O-3 Free Spirit armor comes equipped with SteerComfort, this armor that allows the wearer to feel every curve, bump, and jostle of their Exosuit, as if they were drifting into one single being.The Free Spirited Spangles cape pays tribute to the mischief-makers and mavericks, those trailblazers who dutifully execute their orders with universally-endearing panache. The star-crossed trail calls to mind the special kind of Freedom that can only be achieved by going very fast in very expensive state-owned vehicles.
These new armors come stock standard with the Oxygenator perk allowing you to walk, run and slide slightly quicker (within Super Earth Health and Safety guidelines).
To ensure others know you are up to the job, you can also equip the new Exosuit Certified title and make sure to let them know how you feel with the Thumb of Approval emote and victory pose
This Warbond also includes the Mobile White patterns. Prepare to become an Exo Expert on April 28!
*Warbond requires base game, Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.
