Helldivers 2 is dialling up the firepower and frosty aesthetics with its latest content drop. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has officially unveiled the 'Polar Patriots' Premium Warbond, a new battle pass-style system packed with gear to help players spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy in style.
The new Warbond introduces a chilling new theme, offering three fresh armour sets designed for extreme cold-weather operations. The standout is the CB-9 of the Northern Cross Exosuit, a heavily armoured suit that provides a significant boost to both armour rating and durability. Alongside the new looks, players can unlock new capes, emotes, and victory poses to customise their elite soldier.
New Weapons & Stratagems
The firepower upgrade is just as impressive. The Warbond adds three new primary weapons to the arsenal:
- SMG-37 Pummeler: A rapid-fire submachine gun.
- BR-14 Adjudicator: A reliable burst-fire rifle.
- ARC-12 Blitzer: A devastating arc shotgun that chains lightning between enemies.
But the real game-changer is the new LAS-99 Quasar Cannon Stratagem. This powerful support weapon calls in a massive, shoulder-mounted energy cannon capable of obliterating even the most heavily armoured foes with a single, charged shot.
Earning Your Credits Back
In a move praised by the community, Arrowhead has confirmed that the Polar Patriots Warbond, like its predecessor, is designed to pay for itself. By progressing through the Warbond's tiers, dedicated players can earn up to 700 Super Credits through gameplay alone. This effectively allows players to purchase the 1000-credit Warbond for a net cost of only 300 Super Credits if they complete it.
The Polar Patriots Warbond is available now in-game for 1000 Super Credits. For those looking to grind out the new gear, the battle for Super Earth just got a whole lot cooler.
