Managed democracy and new consumer goods, the ultimate combo for freedom!

Smashing bugs and bots just got a tad more stylish. Helldivers 2’s newest warbond, “Cutting Edge”, has just been added to the game. This collection of new items includes new armor, helmets, weapons, animations, and more.

Thankfully, this new Warbond does not replace the old one, as both are available for players to purchase whenever they want. In fact, the devs for Helldivers 2 stated that they would never force monetization on their players.

Everything in the Helldivers 2 premium Warbond: Cutting Edge

Warbonds are Helldivers 2’s version of battlepasses. They are purchasable with Super Credits, which can be unlocked in the free warbond. This means that you can access the premium warbonds without spending any extra.

Here’s every page of the new Cutting Edge warbond, including new guns, armor sets, and boosters.

Page One

Page one gives a new tan armor set and a cape that slays. No, really, it's called the Botslayer. Additional items include the new energy based weapon, the LAS-16 Sickle, which is also very eye-catching.

Most important in this first page is the new booster, which claims to increase time between enemy encounters. This could be vital for some missions on high difficulties.

Page Two

The second page of the new Helldivers 2 warbond goes for more green and more shoulders. Like all the helmets in this new warbond, there are no eyes, which gives each armor set a drone like appearance. Really makes you think, who are the real bots in this war?

Page Three

The last page of the Cutting Edge warbond also goes green, but in a much more lowkey way. This EX-00 Prototype Armor gives much more stealthy vibes, which goes well with the Agent of Oblivion cape.

Uniquely, this page features two weapons, the ARC-12 Blitzer Shotgun and the LAS-7 Dagger Pistol. I know I can't wait for the bugs to feel my Dagger Pistol upclose. For Super Earth!

That's everything! Like the other premium warbond in Helldivers 2, this one is pretty short. Especially when compared to the ten page warbond that all players can unlock for free.
