Helldivers 2’s Polar Patriots Warbond arrives next week

Helldivers 2’s latest premium Warbond has been revealed

Warbond – Polar Patriots will be released for PlayStation 5 and PC on May 9.

The DLC will include new weapons, armour, emotes and capes, which are showcased in the reveal trailer below.

Here’s a round-up of the upcoming weapons, straight from the PlayStation Blog:

• AR-61 Tenderizer: A real tentacle-tearer. This high calibre assault rifle has awesome stopping power but limited magazine size, so make each shot count. Unpatriotic “banter” shots are not advisable.
• SMG-72 Pummeler: A slower rate of fire than your other SMGs but these concussive rounds will leave your enemies dazed, confused, and still very ugly. Good things come to Helldivers who wait.
• PLAS-101 Purifier: Set the trap. Hold the trigger. Let them charge at you. Smile. They’re getting closer. Smile again. Closer. Smile. Closer. Smile. Closer… and release the trigger. S.P.L.A.T. The longer you can hold your nerve, and the trigger, the bigger the damage.
• G-13 Incendiary Impact: Don’t waste time reading the instructions, lob it at the enemy and run. This thing detonates on impact and ignites the area in white phosphorus, so make sure you – and your allies – are not standing around having a chat.
• P-113 Verdict: The guys in R&D love this one. Gas-operated, semi-automatic, and chambers the largest centrefire cartridge of any lunpistol of its kind. “Rapid Deliberation”, they call it. Quick-draw to look cool in front of your squad.

Helldivers 2 ranks 7th in lifetime US dollar sales for Sony published games after just two months of availability.

That’s according to research firm Circana, which published its US games industry sales report for March on Wednesday.
