Helldivers 2 new Cutting Edge Warbond dropping next week – Destructoid
In a post on the PlayStation Blog, Arrowhead Game Studios revealed the upcoming Cutting Edge Warbond coming to Helldivers 2 on March 14. The new Warbond features what Arrowhead considers ultra-futuristic armor, guns that spit lightning, stylish capes, and epic emotes.
EX Series Prototype Armor
The Cutting Edge Warbond features three new EX Series Prototype armors. All three armors feature a sleek futuristic-style armor set The three sets are:
- EX-03 Prototype 3 – Includes a rubber underlayer for insulation. Handy, really, as this prototype’s wires operate at a shocking 400,000 volts.
- EX-16 Prototype 16 – Warning: Electric arc generates a strong magnetic field. Avoid use while near stapled paperwork.
- EX-00 Prototype X – The end result of several billion Super Credits and 12 years of research into creating “the Soldier of Tomorrow”. Show us it was worth it.
While they look cool, I really wish Arrowhead would do some sort of drastic new models for these armor sets. It sort of just looks like a slight reskin and recolor, though this is just the second warbond so maybe we’ll see crazier stuff later down the line.
New weaponry in the Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond
Three new Primary Weapons are part of the Cutting Edge Warbond as well.
- LAS-16 Sickle – A sweet laser rifle that fires in short bursts. And it doesn’t need reloading. Just watch for overheating or shove a new heatsink in there.
- SG-8P Punisher Plasma – Exploding plasma rounds sound deadly… because they are, to aliens and allies! This modified Punisher shotgun is as fun as it is fearsome.
- ARC-12 Blitzer – Project an arc of close-range lightning, or charge it up to fire off powerful bolts. Good for taking out multiple targets and giving you more time to pick a celebration emote.
These are obviously cooler because the added effects aren’t just cosmetic so these can end up being pretty useful on the battlefield. There’s also a new stun grenade, G-2# Stun Gun, and LAS-7 Dagger Pistol.
The new Cutting Edge Warbond goes live in Helldivers 2 on March 14.
