We recently rolled over into April, and that means it’s time for a new Helldivers 2 Warbond for players to unlock and progress through. Specifically, this month’s fresh battle pass is the Democratic Detonation Warbond, which has been officially announced in a new trailer that shows off all of its major goodies. It’s scheduled to become available in-game on April 11 — that’s just a week away, at the time of writing.
Like the Cutting Edge Warbond that dropped in March, Democratic Detonation is suspected to cost 1,000 Super Credits to purchase and have three full pages of new gear and cosmetics for Liberty’s finest space marines to earn with Warbond Medals. The trailer for it, which you can watch through the embed below, shows many of those items off.
Players can look forward to new armor sets, capes, and weapons, including a new secondary pistol, three new primaries, and a unique grenade unlike any other in the game right now. All of these items are listed in detail below:
- Three new armor sets: One that’s reminiscent of the classic black and yellow Helldiver armor with a special gas mask, another black and red set with grenade bandoliers on the chest, and a heavy suit with thick black plates and a large gorget.
- Three new capes: Capes that match the color schemes and designs of the armor suits mentioned above.
- GP-31 Grenade Pistol: This secondary weapon fires an explosive grenade similar to the ones used by the Grenade Launcher stratagem support weapon.
- BR-14 Adjudicator: A scoped marksman rifle primary with rapid-fire shooting similar to that of the Liberator assault rifle.
- R-36 Eruptor: A heavy-duty primary that fires hard-hitting explosive rounds. Comes with a large scope players can use for long-distance shooting.
- CB-9 Exploding Crossbow: Another explosive primary that shoots bolts that detonate when they come into contact with an enemy.
- G-123 Thermite: A sticky anti-armor grenade with a delayed explosion. The trailer footage suggests it’s capable of damaging/killing thickly armored targets like Chargers.
In stark contrast to the energy and arc theme of the Cutting Edge battle pass, the Democratic Detonation Warbond is centered around explosives and armor-piercing weaponry. As a result, most of the gear it adds will likely be very effective against the Automatons — we’ll probably be cradling it in our hands like a stuffed animal once the robots start their “The Reclamation” counteroffensive, which I suspect will begin a week or so after players complete the new Major Order to wipe out the Automatons “once and for all.”
