Sony and Arrowhead Game Studios have announced a new Helldivers 2 Warbond, and if you've ever wanted the destructive power of a Hellbomb strapped to your back, this is the Warbond for you.

Like previous Helldivers 2 Warbonds, Servants of Freedom brings a bunch of new gear for you to try out, foremost among which is the B-100 Portable Hellbomb Stratagem. Like the regular Hellbomb, make sure you're nowhere near this one when it goes off.

Of course, new weapons are also coming as part of this Warbond, including the LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle, which powers up the regular Sickle and allows it to overheat, potentially damaging both you and "everything in its path".

Helldivers 2's new Warbond gives you your very own portable Hellbomb.

The secondary slot, meanwhile, gets a new GP-20 Ultimatum grenade pistol, which is "designed for closer-range use". That, given Helldivers 2's penchant for randomly murdering you in hilarious ways, sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.

Servants of Freedom also brings a new throwable weapon in the G-50 Seeker, a drone that follows along behind you and explodes near enemies when it detects them. It can also target enemies you ping.

Two new armor sets have been added, both medium sets: the IE-3 Martyr and the IE-12 Righteous. Both sets come complete with rather terrifying masked helms that will make you look like Doctor Doom, but if he fought on the side of justice, truth, and democracy (ahem).

Naturally, the Warbond comes complete with new capes, a new player title, and a new cheer as well, all of which should help you express yourself when you're taking the fight to those dastardly Terminids (or bots, or Illuminate, of course).

Elsewhere in Helldivers 2 news, chief creative officer Johan Pilestedt announced last week that he's intending to take a sabbatical from work, and that when he returns, he'll begin work on a new Arrowhead game. Exciting!

Helldivers 2 is available right now for PC and PlayStation 5, and the Servants of Freedom Warbond arrives on February 6th. You can check out our Helldivers 2 review here.
