Helldivers 2: Truth Enforcers Warbond – A New Arsenal Arrives October 31st
Arrowhead Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment are unleashing the Truth Enforcers Warbond, a premium content drop for Helldivers 2, on October 31st, 2024. This isn't just a cosmetic update; it's a major arsenal expansion, transforming players into Super Earth's elite Truth Enforcers.
Become a Truth Enforcer
The Truth Enforcers Warbond operates similarly to a battle pass, using earned Medals to unlock content. Unlike typical battle passes, these Warbonds are permanent; once purchased (for 1,000 Super Credits via the Acquisitions Center), they remain accessible.
This Warbond emphasizes the Ministry of Truth's unwavering principles, providing players with advanced weaponry and armor.
New Weapons and Gear
- PLAS-15 Loyalist Plasma Pistol: A versatile sidearm offering both rapid semi-automatic fire and powerful charged shots.
- SMG-32 Reprimand: A fast-firing submachine gun perfect for close-quarters combat.
- SG-20 Halt: A shotgun capable of switching between stunning and armor-piercing rounds for effective crowd control.
- UF-16 Inspector Armor: Sleek, light armor with red accents and a "Proof of Faultless Virtue" cape, ideal for mobile players. Features the Unflinching perk, reducing stagger from incoming damage.
- UF-50 Bloodhound Armor: Medium armor with red accents and a "Pride of the Whistleblower" cape, offering increased survivability. Also includes the Unflinching perk.
Cosmetics and a Risky Booster
Beyond the new weapons and armor, expect new banners, cosmetic patterns for hellpods, exosuits, and Pelican-1, and the "At Ease" emote. The Warbond also introduces the Dead Sprint booster, allowing continued sprinting and diving even when stamina is depleted, at the cost of health.
Helldivers 2's Ongoing Journey
Despite a successful launch with a peak of 458,709 concurrent Steam players (excluding PS5 players), Helldivers 2 has seen a player base decrease, partly due to initial account linking issues. While the concurrent player count is currently below 40,000 on Steam, the Truth Enforcers Warbond aims to reignite interest and bring players back to the fight for Super Earth.
