It’s anniversary week for Helldivers 2! Arrowhead has just shared the update 01.002.101 patch notes, and they have now officially announced the release date for the Servants of Freedom Warbond. Arrowhead’s announcement came after an assortment of leaks online. These leaks are still relevant as they show stats for the Servants of Freedom Warbond while also revealing a Warhammer 40K inspired weapon for Helldivers 2.
New Helldivers 2 Warbond leak includes Warhammer 40K Chainsword
Prominent Helldivers 2 leaker, Iron_S1ghts, revealed the Servants of Freedom Warbond before Arrowhead’s announcement. In addition to this leak, they revealed the silhouette of a new HD2 melee weapon, The Chainsword.
The silhouette looks identical to The Chainsword famous from Warhammer 40K, but it’s currently unclear if it is planned for a future crossover, or if it is an original weapon simply inspired by Warhammer. Arrowhead’s CEO has said they and Games Workshop would “love” to crossover, so there is the possibility of a collaboration in the future.
