Arrowhead Studios has revealed the latest premium Warbond for Helldivers 2, arriving later this week on 6th February 2025. Servants of Freedom kits Super Earth defenders out in metal armour, covering their entire face to leave a blank expression in the face of the bug and robotic onslaught that awaits. Take a look at what's on offer in the trailer above.
The new Warbond brings with it two armour sets (the IE-3 and IE-12), another primary weapon in the form of the LAS-17, which fires energy shots, and the GP-31 secondary weapon. It will pack "a punch like a grenade launcher on steroids, designed for closer-range use. But handle it with care, or you might accidentally liberate yourself along with the enemy".
You've also got a new Stratagem in the form of a Portable Hellbomb to utilise, a G-50 seeker drone that explodes near enemies, and an assortment of new capes, player banners, and emotes to equip.
Here's everything contained in the Warbond:

With the two new armour sets the most eye-catching things about Servants of Freedom, they're further enhanced by "the Integrated Explosives passive, which gives every Helldiver protection against becoming Voteless: Upon death, your corpse will detonate and take out the enemies around you. Nobody’s going to control your mind, soldier." The Warbond will be available for purchase from this Thursday, 6th February 2025.

The portable hell bomb is going to be pure chaos lol
@Americansamurai1
Teammates gonna run religiously to that badboy.
@Blauwe_Chimay definitely lol
Is the PRO update out yet for this
I'm going to have to shoot one of those Hellbomb backpacks while my teammate is still wearing it. For science.
@Mikey856 Unfortunately, I don't think so. I wonder if it's a problem with their outdated engine working with PSSR.
@wildcat_kickz yeah that's what I'm thinking it's an engine problem. Wonder how hard would it be to port the game to a better engine? If they expect the game to be around for years might be a good ideal.
The faces on the helmets gives me classic Transformer vibes.
Looks like a fun warbond.
@wildcat_kickz For science??? 🤔🤔🤔
👉🌍
For a second I tought that was Lord Farquaad.
I'm getting old.
@Shepherd_Tallon Sorry, my mistake.
For Super Science!
@Americansamurai1 Unfortunately, I think they're committed. Switching engines is a herculean task, especially if the engines don't use the same coding language.
@wildcat_kickz 😂Nice
@wildcat_kickz would have been amazing to see if run on decima. Hopefully they use a live engine on their next time.
@wildcat_kickz I keep turning the PS5 on hoping for a patch to appear 😞
patch downloaded at lunch, around 6 GB I think, sounds like something else is there beyond a warbond and some fixes?
@Dimey It’s the one year anniversary on Saturday and Helldivers 1 always had something to mark the occasions
@ChrisDeku excellent, my friends and I dropping off it last few weeks, so a proper content drop would be most welcome
@Mikey856 actually it looks there is a Pro update I've noticed it the past days.
If you change to Quality and back to Performance mode after booting the game, the resolution takes a jump. Looks crisp now. Need to do it every boot though..
@nona yes mate a few hours after posting that I saw a video online about it lol ooops
