The first post-launch Helldivers 2 Warbond is here. Warbonds are the hit co-op game’s version of a battle pass and come in free and paid versions. The Cutting Edge Warbond, as this latest one is named, is the second paid battle pass and the first since launch day, giving the game’s committed audience more metagame rewards to chase as they dodge alien bile and crush their friends with the game’s best stratagems. Like the previous paid Warbond, the Cutting Edge Warbond includes a few dozen rewards spanning three pages in-game. That means things like new cosmetic-only items like armor styles and helmets are introduced, but also some gameplay-altering items in the strictly PvE game, such as new weapons and throwables.
There are four new weapons coming to the game via the Cutting Edge Warbond. Time will tell which of these new guns, if any, will make it into the conversation about the best weapons in Helldivers 2. The full list includes:
- Las-16 Sickle (energy-based rifle)
- SG-8P Punisher Plasma (shotgun)
- Las-7 Dagger (pistol)
- Arc-12 Blitzer (shotgun)
The Cutting Edge Warbond can be bought for 1,000 Supercredits, which can be purchased in-game for $10 or fully earned for free in the game’s free battle pass, the Helldivers Mobilize Warbond–assuming you didn’t already spend those Supercredits on the original paid Warbond, Steeled Veterans. One nice thing about the Helldivers battle pass system, which has been used in the similarly alien-squashing series, Halo, is how the Warbonds never expire. You don’t need to worry about them disappearing before you’ve unlocked every last item–a nice perk given you’re essentially preordering a Warbond’s contents whenever you buy into it.
We’ve included an image of every new armor skin, emote, weapon, and more that can be earned in the Cutting Edge Warbond below, with the only exception being the game’s premium currency unlocks. You’ll get 300 Supercredits ($3) in total by the time you’ve unlocked the whole pass, with 100 Supercredits being available on each page. Here’s everything a patriot such as yourself can earn in the Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge battle pass.
