New Helldivers 2 Warbond Brings Wild West Adventure to Players

Stockholm, Sweden – Arrowhead Game Studios has announced its latest content update for Helldivers 2, introducing the Borderline Justice Warbond, set to launch on March 20. This update invites players to embrace their inner space cowboy while spreading Managed Democracy on the galactic frontier.

The Borderline Justice Warbond features a host of new Wild West-inspired items, including weapons, armor sets, and emotes. Players can expect to get their hands on the R-6 Deadeye lever-action rifle and the energy-based LAS-58 Talon pistol, which offers a fan-fire functionality for continuous shooting capability. Arrowhead Game Studios emphasized the importance of various tools for combating threats to Super Earth, stating, “A lawman is nothing without his trusty sidearm.”

To add more firepower to their arsenal, players can utilize the TED-63 Dynamite, equipped with a variable timer for explosive takedowns, and the LIFT-860 Hover Pack, allowing for mid-air aiming and evading ground attacks. These new weapons and gadgets are essential for players looking to maintain order and protect remote colonies.

Moreover, the Warbond includes two distinct armor sets: the GS-17 Frontier Marshal and the GS-66 Lawmaker. The former is a medium set, while the latter is heavy armor designed for those wanting to exude authority while traversing the dangerous terrains of space. Both armors come with a Gunslinger passive ability that enhances reload speed and reduces recoil for secondary weapons.

As players equip themselves with the latest gear, they will also gain access to the title “Super Sheriff” to proudly display their status among fellow players. Additionally, a new booster, Sample Extricator, offers a chance to receive samples from defeated enemies, further enhancing gameplay and strategy.

Arrowhead promises that the Borderline Justice Warbond will add depth to Helldivers 2 gameplay, urging players to respond to galactic threats with a mix of strategy and sheer firepower. “With Borderline Justice, you’ll unlock a new identity as the protector of the frontier,” said the studio in announcing the Warbond’s features.

Gamers can anticipate the Warbond’s release on March 20 for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, priced at 1,000 Medals, typical for all premium offerings. A trailer showcasing these new features is already available for fans eager to explore the contents.

Helldivers 2 continues to captivate players with its blend of cooperative gameplay and mission-driven narrative. The introduction of Western themes and new gadgets exemplifies Arrowhead’s commitment to diversifying gameplay and supporting its community.
