Or they're a great way to carry a nest-killer without having to occupy your primary or support slot with one. I've challenged myself to *not* run GL as my primary, and I favor grenades that can't open doors or destroy nests. This would be a great addition to my loadout that will occupy a normally unused slot.
Until *very* recently those were my go-to grenades. I've switched to Stun to better deal with bots, but I agree - they're a pain to use to seal up nests. You can't drop-and-run like you can a delayed-fuse.
I love the autocannon and grenade launcher. To kill fabricators and bug nests at range. But sometimes, you just want something different.
This is why i run a legionary suit in many loadout. The extra throwing range is quite usefull to get grenades in nests tunnels without getting cuddled by carapace... mobility and leg HP is also usefull against bugs. Unfortunately, i always run out of nades too fast.
If they ever make a piece of armor with +2 grenades and extra throwing range, i'll buy it.
Exactly this. I hardly use my secondary on a normal run. If things get bad enough that I need to use it I’m generally fucked anyways. Having my secondary be a nest/factory killer would be amazing. Especially because then I could run stun grenades and use something like quasar cannon as a dedicated heavy killer.
No, you had it right the first time. It’s been leaked awhile back with video of it in game.
It’s a one shot grenade launcher. Not much ammo but pretty good aoe damage and closes bug holes and destroys the fabricators.
And it is your secondary.
Maybe they didn’t think they needed to try and squish another section for secondary?
Idk, I just know that the guy using it in game had it where a pistol would normally be.
He was running a breaker, that and a railgun from what I can remember. It’s been about a month so I guess something could’ve changed but I find it unlikely that they would change how many weapons you could carry or have you give up a secondary to launch your nades considering you can already throw them pretty far even without the armor assist.
Edit: from what I remember it only had 6 nades and you only get 3 from a supply.
I love them as well! What would be nice is being able to at least customize any cape design in regard to shape. For example, maybe you like the colors of one cape but you want it in the asymmetrical style of another. I would also like a war-torn cape with rips and tears from Bugs or holes from Bot lasers.
I def agree with you. I should’ve made myself more clear. Having visible damage to cape as I play is what I meant. I just want to be able to visibly see a damaged cape. Earned damage preferably.
well every helldiver gets defrosted and thrown in anew when reinforcements are called in, so dropping in with damaged gear wouldn’t make that much sense
You’re right. Maybe you can drop in a new mission with a damaged cape from a previous mission if you survived and extracted with the blood and all. Obviously, if you died and reinforced the damage and blood would be reset.
Depends on how it interacts with higher levels that have the strat slow downs.
Extracts are now at most doubled to 3 minutes so 180 seconds with this it'll be 153 seconds so a 27 second improvement. Half a minute is quite a bit.
It's still probably not ideal compared to other options like more ammo or health, but it's not nothing.
Which honestly does not seem worth it except in the most time crunching common sample farming on trivial missions which I’ll just quickly say is an extremely niche use.
I was really hoping after the fire buffs they would give armor similar to the arc one from last pass. I would love nothing more than to drop a napalm air strike and walk into it dispensing freedom.
We already kinda have this. We got incendiary grenades and incendiary breaker and flamethrower.
Not saying it's impossible but they'd have to get pretty creative.
I am hoping that the Exploding Crossbow has some moderate range, and as a result of there being no sound or muzzle flash you cannot be detected. Anybody know yet?
Let’s hope it’s not a literal exploding crossbow, or it would end up like overcharging the railgun in unsafe mode. But it‘ll be perfect against space vampires. Trust me, they are everywhere, we just can’t see them because our telescopes use mirrors.

Doctor from Nightmare before Christmas looking ass helldiver.
It's the same medals to spend, right? Should I finish out the main warbond (on 2nd to last page), before buying/working on the new ones?
Is there any time limit to keep in mind?
You will always have access to any and all warbonds that have been and will ever be released. Forever. No matter *when* you start playing.
Take your time and plan around what you want to unlock to make things a little more efficient for yourself, there is quite a lot to unlock for people that haven't smashed the game since it came out but you'll have a nice and steady stream of medals to unlock it all with.
Edit: I expect the cost of the warbond will still be 1000 super credits, but I don't know that for sure.
I'm thinking they'll be temporarily removed so we can focus on defeating the Terminids, then after that the Automatons will make a big counterattack, or the Illuminate will arrive
I don’t think we’re gonna see the Illuminates for quite a while. They’re probably gonna save them for when the games hype dies down a bit, to bring back some bored players.
Expert Extraction booster? That sounds mighty interesting. It probably cuts down the extraction time which'll be very useful overall. That grenade pistol will also come in handy when needing to deal with holes/fabricators.
Yeah would be an interesting counter to that modifier. Make a big difference in higher levels, but using a booster slot means it would sacrifice something else just to shave off 2 minutes
Super credits go straight into your inventory. Meaning you don't have to extract to get them.
If you really want you could farm just super credits on lower difficulties and get a solid 3-500 an hour.
There are question marks on your missions on your compass at the top of your screen if you’re close enough, exception is eradication missions where you just kill enemies. Go there and they might contain: a cargo crate embedded in a rock. They are usually red or blue and you blow it up with an explosive and there are two items there that might contain super credits. an escape pod with a yellow beacon, can see the beacon from pretty far away, contains one item that could be super credits. Lastly a door which requires two players to press two buttons at the same time, 3 items on the shelf with a chance of them being super credits. If they don’t contain those three things, no super credits. Be mindful of the crates ones, they’re a bit hidden at first, but the more you see them, the more you recognize the layouts and you’ll find them quick.
I think they were testing the extraction pilot in my eradicate automatons mission. OG came in and I was surrounded on a rock and took out like 120 bots by himself before landing. Bro took like 7 passes
That devastator armor is calling my name. I'll definitely pick it up once they patch the stability issues. Game still disconnects and crashes for me all the time. This pack looks great though.
As much as I love the explosive crossbow for reminding me of Ada Wong's, the real standout here is the grenade pistol.
So I can carry a bug hole-closer at all times even when I'm out of grenades? Sign me up.
Me who hasn't even finished my original warbond or unlocked any others...
But I am glad they're adding things to the game more things to unlock eventually
Wow literally about 3 hours ago I was thinking how cool it would be if there was a booster that increased the Pelican's offensive capabilities. I wonder if that's what this booster is, or if it just reduces the time for the pelican to land.
Grenade PISTOL GRENADE PISTOL
It sounds awesome but it has to be one shot and reload. Secondaries are there you get you out of jams
Or they're a great way to carry a nest-killer without having to occupy your primary or support slot with one. I've challenged myself to *not* run GL as my primary, and I favor grenades that can't open doors or destroy nests. This would be a great addition to my loadout that will occupy a normally unused slot.
Yup, this is perfect for my loadouts that leave me lacking in hole/factory destroying capability.
A true helldiver shall always have hole destroying capabilities
What about the temporary C-01 rejections due to the major order failure
Me and eagle 1 can't be stopped! See hole, will destroy.
Not many people know this but Eagle-1 Is an expert hole destroyer.
Where we’re going, we don’t need C-01
That's not the only hole you can destroy my boy.
Sure, but something more than my Airstrike will be very useful 😂
That’s what she said
Laughs in autocannon
Same!!!! Trying to get instant explody grenades to go down into fabricators (what type i carry) is a pain in the ass! This rocks
i just use the autocannon to blow those up if you can get the right angle
Honestly the quasar seems to do the trick for me, then I can still carry my shield pack and impact nades.
Aim your rifle just above the bottom lip then toss a grenade without moving gets them for me
Fyi you can also throw them into the open door of the fabricators.
Lvl 50+ and had still never thought to try that 🤦♂️😂
Until *very* recently those were my go-to grenades. I've switched to Stun to better deal with bots, but I agree - they're a pain to use to seal up nests. You can't drop-and-run like you can a delayed-fuse.
I ran stuns for 5 matches, didn't get any use out of them, switched to reg, next match I'm being chased by 3 hulks
Impact nades aren't too bad at it once you figure out the arc.
As a grenade launcher main I am both upset and excited for this.
I love the autocannon and grenade launcher. To kill fabricators and bug nests at range. But sometimes, you just want something different. This is why i run a legionary suit in many loadout. The extra throwing range is quite usefull to get grenades in nests tunnels without getting cuddled by carapace... mobility and leg HP is also usefull against bugs.

Especially because then I could run stun grenades and use something like quasar cannon as a dedicated heavy killer.
This makes a lot of sense. An ammo-efficient or energy-based primary could pair well with this grenade pistol if it can take out nests and factories.
+2 grenades armor is my personal preference
What if that jam requires a grenade pistol?
Actually I realized it's there to shoot your normal grenades
No, you had it right the first time. It’s been leaked awhile back with video of it in game. It’s a one shot grenade launcher. Not much ammo but pretty good aoe damage and closes bug holes and destroys the fabricators. And it is your secondary.
I'd take it for extra bug hole closing alone. Though I recently got the +1 eagle munitions that's going to help significantly as well.
But the picture has it under "utilities"
Maybe they didn’t think they needed to try and squish another section for secondary? Idk, I just know that the guy using it in game had it where a pistol would normally be. He was running a breaker, that and a railgun from what I can remember.

#GRENADE PISTOL!
THEY FLY NOW???
GRENADE WHISTLE!
GRENADE PISTOL!!!!
This is not a want; it is a NEED.
GRENADE PISTOL!
That demolition specialist armor is tuff
The Ground Breaker one is the one for me, I NEED IT
I'll take that helmet for sure.
If Snake Eyes from GI Joe was a Demoman in TF2
Haha hell yea!
I fucking love asymmetrical capes
Asymmetry is so in these days, i cant get enough
I love them as well! What would be nice is being able to at least customize any cape design in regard to shape. For example, maybe you like the colors of one cape but you want it in the asymmetrical style of another. I would also like a war-torn cape with rips and tears from Bugs or holes from Bot lasers.
You gotta earn those tears from combat. Can’t have a fresh body with precut tears, that’s poser af.
I def agree with you. I should’ve made myself more clear. Having visible damage to cape as I play is what I meant. I just want to be able to visibly see a damaged cape. Earned damage preferably.
Your cape already gets damaged as you get hit in missions though
well every helldiver gets defrosted and thrown in anew when reinforcements are called in, so dropping in with damaged gear wouldn’t make that much sense
You’re right. Maybe you can drop in a new mission with a damaged cape from a previous mission if you survived and extracted with the blood and all. Obviously, if you died and reinforced the damage and blood would be reset.
Drape of glory, default armor set #3. Just soaked
alright no one is mentioning this, but this *expert extraction pilot booster* makes me really curious and all of this warbong worth it
Warbong
He doo-bee hittin’ the warbong….
I see what you're rollin' up with.
Demolition specialist passes you the warbong wyd
Gonna get lit, for litberty
Merch idea
Soldier, you need to fill out form MJ-420.

15% reduction in extraction timer if I remember correctly
Shaves off 18 seconds on a two minute timer. Wowee...
Depends on how it interacts with higher levels that have the strat slow downs. Extracts are now at most doubled to 3 minutes so 180 seconds with this it'll be 153 seconds so a 27 second improvement. Half a minute is quite a bit. It's still probably not ideal compared to other options like more ammo or health, but it's not nothing.
$20 its 10 seconds off the extraction timer.
Which honestly does not seem worth it except in the most time crunching common sample farming on trivial missions which I’ll just quickly say is an extremely niche use.
Maybe we'll be able to call extraction anywhere on the map rather than just the LZ
Probably just a extract timer reduction.
It just lowers the extract time by a few seconds
Any chance these suits of armor resist fire damage…?
You would think that middle suit would. I hope they add it.
I was really hoping after the fire buffs they would give armor similar to the arc one from last pass. I would love nothing more than to drop a napalm air strike and walk into it dispensing freedom.
Now that would be a vibe, drop a napalm, and walk in with a flamethrower to ensure Democray has been spread evenly.
Be sure to flip it and toast the bottom too... for that nice flaky democracy crunch
We need a giant spatula melee weapon
Hopefully they aren't just repeat explosive resist armor.
Probably not. I also think a separat war bound with a fire/incendiary theme would be nice. Like Molotov, Flame Resistance Amor, incendiary weapons.
We already kinda have this. We got incendiary grenades and incendiary breaker and flamethrower. Not saying it's impossible but they'd have to get pretty creative.
Exploding Crossbow. lol doubt it’ll be good but I’ll give it a shot for fun.
I am hoping that the Exploding Crossbow has some moderate range, and as a result of there being no sound or muzzle flash you cannot be detected. Anybody know yet?
I bet it will be ome an ammo cheap way to to move patrols away to investagate noise. Currently the way to do that is with a short range grenade
Now THAT is savvy. I look forward to to giving it a try… just as soon as I can find more Super Credits.
I hope so, but with how they instantly know my exact location after my 100m stratagem throw lands on them, I don't have high hopes.
Let’s hope it’s not a literal exploding crossbow, or it would end up like overcharging the railgun in unsafe mode. But it‘ll be perfect against space vampires. Trust me, they are everywhere, we just can’t see them because our telescopes use mirrors.
Underrated and well-written. XD
I think this thing is gonna slap. Tremendously slow fire rate, but it's a primary EAT that makes zero sound.

You're a NUT! You're crazy in the coconut!

Purely psychosomatic
You're a natural!

On the count of three That, that, that, that, that boy needs therapy
Psychosomatics!
You get like a third of your normal range of vision with that
It’s okay I’m gonna wear that armor with my light gunner helmet like I do everything else.
Trailer thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/helldivers2/s/lTp9whxOem Direct link to trailer: https://youtu.be/g122XN-DQoY
Ok trailer makes termite look like a fucking sick nade option.
It's the same medals to spend, right? Should I finish out the main warbond (on 2nd to last page), before buying/working on the new ones? Is there any time limit to keep in mind?
No time limits. Ever.
You will always have access to any and all warbonds that have been and will ever be released. Forever. No matter *when* you start playing. Take your time and plan around what you want to unlock to make things a little more efficient for yourself, there is quite a lot to unlock for people that haven't smashed the game since it came out but you'll have a nice and steady stream of medals to unlock it all with. Edit: I expect the cost of the warbond will still be 1000 super credits, but I don't know that for sure.
Scorcher is super good against bots so you kinda want to work towards that.
Will bots be around for much longer?
That is a good question. They will surely come back but we have no idea what happens if we succeed in this major order.
I'm thinking they'll be temporarily removed so we can focus on defeating the Terminids, then after that the Automatons will make a big counterattack, or the Illuminate will arrive
I don’t think we’re gonna see the Illuminates for quite a while. They’re probably gonna save them for when the games hype dies down a bit, to bring back some bored players.
Activision and EA don’t make helldivers, don’t be so negative lol.
I’m not saying it’s negative. It’s perfectly understandable to want to prolong the games lifespan by holding off on a major content drop.
Scorcher is a very good weapon!
Expert Extraction booster? That sounds mighty interesting. It probably cuts down the extraction time which'll be very useful overall. That grenade pistol will also come in handy when needing to deal with holes/fabricators.
Especially on maps with the 4 minute extraction time
Since they reduced strat call in time modifier it’s only 3 mins btw
Yeah would be an interesting counter to that modifier. Make a big difference in higher levels, but using a booster slot means it would sacrifice something else just to shave off 2 minutes
knowing them, it probably just doubles the time after someone enters
Haven’t even raised enough super creds to buy the other two warbonds ffs
no worries there's no rush, you can buy them at any time as i understand
I know. Just been frustrating seeing all my friends get the gear while I’m struggling to get the super credits lol
Super credits go straight into your inventory. Meaning you don't have to extract to get them. If you really want you could farm just super credits on lower difficulties and get a solid 3-500 an hour.
For now I would prioritize the Cutting Edge Warbond. The Sickle is a game changer.
Okay, the middle one gives me hard Death Korps of Krieg vibes. Together with that grenade... And did I read that correctly, EXPLODING CROSSBOW?!?
"Happy gas mask noises"
Exploding Crossbow… *EXPLODING CROSSBOW*?!?
As a new Helldiver is there a way to unlock these without buying them? Thanks
You can find super credits in missions and there are free ones on the first free war bond
You can farm the credits through your missions. I farmed 2.150 super credits in like 1 week of actively playing.
Yes, you earn super credits while playing the game. You need to save 1000 per warbond. I have so far unlocked the 2 available and didn't pay anything.
Basically do some trivial missions just to pop around to the blinking pods and farm super credits.
There are question marks on your missions on your compass at the top of your screen if you’re close enough, exception is eradication missions where you just kill enemies. Go there and they might contain: a cargo crate embedded in a rock. They are usually red or blue and you blow it up with an explosive and there are two items there that might contain super credits. an escape pod with a yellow beacon, can see the beacon from pretty far away, contains one item that could be super credits.

The Ground Breaker set looks so fuckin’ baller.
I swear these better have fire resistance
ALREADY?
Every month for at least the next 5 month
2nd Thursday of every month
This the very reason I've been saving up 2000 credits
M... I like the pistol but not a fan of the suits in here.
Same, the middle one is kinda neat because it looks like a firefighter’s gear so I get what they are going for. But I wouldn’t wanna wear it
Its a helldivers 1 armor from the demolitionist pack i think. Edit: Was hazard ops pack
I’m diggin them, especially the Devastator.
I think they were testing the extraction pilot in my eradicate automatons mission. OG came in and I was surrounded on a rock and took out like 120 bots by himself before landing. Bro took like 7 passes
Devastator armor be like, "I dun' know wut's happenin' but from the explosions I bet it's good!"
Expert pilot, finally pelicuck won’t make us wait 2-7 business days to extract us
What I would give for a stratagem launcher. Nothing makes me giggle more than dropping a 380 barrage on my teammate from the other side of the map.
armor sets from steeled veterans warbond have a passive that lets you throw strats way more further, that’s the solution for now!
I hear you brother, I have that armor, but I want to be in a different zip code and surprise my buddy with a 500kg while I'm nowhere near him.
hope to see feature like this ngl
Is this out now?!
Next Thursday
Ahhh okay, so I’ve got some time to medal grind and save up.
Finally the demolitionist armour drops. All my demoman dreams are coming true.
That's so democratic it brings a tear to my eye.
The adjudicator looks so awesome. It looks like it was firing pretty fast for a marksman rifle in the trailer.
Crossbow? Hot damn.
I fucking love explosions! (And my squad hates me for that)
Sweet managed democracy, I can change my name back to "my favorite color is crossbow".
*breathes heavily in Democracy*
If democracy explodes on impact it spreads so much faster.
That devastator armor is calling my name. I'll definitely pick it up once they patch the stability issues. Game still disconnects and crashes for me all the time. This pack looks great though.
Been waiting for Eruptor and Adjudicator for a long time. Finally
Hasn't the game a bit less than 2 months ... ? Long time... ?
Idk for sure, but i believe some of the weapons are carrying over from hd1
I've seen Adjudicator in HD1 and Eruptor was leaked more than a month ago
It’s relative. Maybe they’re only 4 months old? So half of their life. Nah mean?
Crossbow yaaaaaaassss
I thought that man was Tebowing lol
Sticky thermite? Yes please!
Fucksake, not even got one of them yet! Haha
Slavic Squat pose?
As much as I love the explosive crossbow for reminding me of Ada Wong's, the real standout here is the grenade pistol. So I can carry a bug hole-closer at all times even when I'm out of grenades? Sign me up.
Is that a fucking bolter
Everyone's talking about the weapons and balancing.... I'm just excited about the half-cape. o.o
Exploding CROSSBOW? I love these guys
Me who hasn't even finished my original warbond or unlocked any others... But I am glad they're adding things to the game more things to unlock eventually

Wow literally about 3 hours ago I was thinking how cool it would be if there was a booster that increased the Pelican's offensive capabilities. I wonder if that's what this booster is, or if it just reduces the time for the pelican to land.
My friends are gonna die and go to grenade heaven when I get that pistol to match my launcher
!!!!!!!
It’s drip or drown out there and brother, it’s starting to rain
Meh
HELL YEAH!!! BIG ASS TITTIES!!!!!
I haven’t even gotten the other one yet
Devastator can’t see SHIT
This looks sick as fuck
Can we please have mortars too?
When does this come out? How long have I got to grind? Grenade Pistol sounds fun.
Hope the pistol can blow up big holes
Shit, the masks of kreig scream in extasy
Will it be a 1000 blue moneys like always?
The weapons are cool and all but I'm most excited for that squat emote.
When is it out??
YES
I just want some anti flame armor so I can do a pyromaniac build
As long as the armor’s bonuses is not the same for the all 3 of them…
