Helldivers 2 Releases New Siege Breakers Warbond

The Ministry of Defense has prepared a fresh Warbond called Siege Breakers for the brave players of Helldivers 2. Now players have everything they need to break through the most impregnable enemy fortifications.

Among the new items is an updated version of the beloved LAS-16 Trident weapon. Unlike its predecessor, it fires six beams instead of three, literally sweeping obstacles out of its path.

For a more brutal approach, the CQC-20 Breaching Hammer is suitable—a powerful sledgehammer that can be equipped with an explosive charge for enhanced effect if desired.

If you need continuous firepower, pay attention to the GL-28 Belt-Fed Grenade Launcher—a grenade launcher with continuous ammunition feed. And for a decisive strike, the EAT-411 Leveller, which fires one powerful rocket, is perfect.

The developers haven't forgotten about defense: the G/SH-39 Shield is a deployable shield that creates spherical protection against projectiles. With it, you can build your own barrier while simultaneously smashing enemy fortifications.

For reliable protection, two new armors are presented.

  • SA-8 Ram — heavy armor, reminiscent of plate armor with explosive shields. It will turn you into an unstoppable force when assaulting fortifications.
  • SA-7 Headfirst — medium armor that combines decent protection with mobility, making it ideal for a swift breakthrough through obstacles.

Both armors are equipped with the passive ability Supplementary Adrenaline: when taking damage, you restore a portion of your stamina, becoming a truly tireless battering ram.

Stylish capes complete the look.

  • Rags of the Fashionable — a tattered cape symbolizing participation in past assaults.
  • Wedgeful Tricorn draws attention with its serrated edge.

Furthermore, the Warbond includes the Churned Earth pattern for the shuttle, exosuits, helldivers, and FRV.

To express emotions, a new animation Display of Brawn is available—it can be used for both regular and victory poses. And to emphasize a formidable reputation, you can choose the player title Bunker Buster.
