Helldivers 2’s Cutting Edge Warbond launches next week

Arrowhead Game Studios has announced Helldivers 2’s latest Warbond.

Warbond – Cutting Edge will launch for PlayStation 5 and PC on March 14.

“This unique anti-alien cache includes explosive weapons, prototype armour, capes and player cards, emotes, and utility boosters for this month and beyond,” according to the reveal trailer, which is viewable below.

Among other new items detailed on the PlayStation Blog, Cutting Edge includes:

  • 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.
  • 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.

Unlike the first Warbond, Helldivers Mobilize, which was free, Premium Warbonds can be unlocked with Super Credits, which can be purchased from the in-game store or discovered in missions by exploring points of interest.

Once players own a Warbond, they can spend medals to unlock different content. Medals are awarded by completing objectives, missions, and operations, and can also be found by exploring the battlefield.
