Helldivers 2 Enforcers: Warbond Drops Hit Oct. 31

Arrowhead Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment are releasing the Truth Enforcers Warbond, a premium content pack for Helldivers 2, on October 31st, 2024. This substantial update offers more than just cosmetic changes; it's a major arsenal upgrade.

Helldivers 2 Truth Enforcers Warbond: New Weapons, Armor, and Cosmetics

Become a Super Earth Truth Enforcer This Halloween

The Warbond operates similarly to a battle pass, using earned Medals to unlock content. Unlike typical battle passes, however, it's permanent; once purchased (for 1,000 Super Credits via the Acquisitions Center), access remains.

The Truth Enforcers Warbond emphasizes the Ministry of Truth's ideals, providing cutting-edge weapons and armor to face any threat.

New weapons include the versatile PLAS-15 Loyalist Plasma Pistol (semi-auto or charged shots), the rapid-fire SMG-32 Reprimand submachine gun for close-quarters combat, and the SG-20 Halt shotgun, switching between stun and armor-piercing rounds.

Show your allegiance with the UF-16 Inspector (light armor with a "Proof of Faultless Virtue" cape) or the UF-50 Bloodhound (medium armor, "Pride of the Whistleblower" cape), both featuring the Unflinching perk (reduced stagger from hits).

Further customization options include banners, cosmetic patterns for hellpods, exosuits, and Pelican-1, plus a new "At Ease" emote.

The Dead Sprint booster lets you sprint and dive past stamina limits at the cost of health—a high-risk, high-reward addition for crucial maneuvers.

Helldivers 2's Future After Initial Player Count Dip

Despite a strong initial launch (peaking at 458,709 concurrent Steam players), Helldivers 2's player base declined due to initial account linking restrictions. While the issue was resolved, the game remains inaccessible in some regions, impacting player numbers. The August Escalation of Freedom update temporarily boosted player counts, but numbers have since settled.

The Truth Enforcers Warbond aims to reignite interest. The new content's potential to attract returning players and bolster the community remains to be seen.
