Helldivers 2 has prepped the deployment of the newest Premium Warbond to the troops on the frontlines of democracy. Perhaps the sweetest addition is the Crossbow with explosive bolts that detonate on impact.

In keeping with that explosive theme, the two new secondaries–the Grenade Pistol, and the Thermite Grenade, promise to make bug nest extermination all the more entertaining.

Expected cost is the usual 1,000 Super Credits, so get farming with our guides below. The Democratic Detonation Premium Warbond is out April 11, 2024.

ARMOUR

CE-27 Ground Breaker

• Medium Armour.

• “The ground is just another obstacle that hasn't yet been cleared.” - SGM Janet Jones, Excava-tion Corps Founder.

CE-07 Demolition Specialist

• Light Armour.

• Originally worn by Lunar terraformers, this suit can withstand rapid changes in pressure, heat, and personal velocity.

FS-55 Devastator

• Heavy Armour.

• Domestic versions of this armour allow colonial farmers to safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece.

Of course, always accessorise your choice of armour with brand-new capes – Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, or Freedom’s Tapestry – as you mix and match your lethal loadout of liberation.

Democratic Detonation is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel on April 11th.

Let’s drag our malevolent enemies into the burning flames of hell, soldiers.

Fire in the hole!
