It’s been a busy period lately for Helldivers 2 fans. The game has just joined Xbox consoles, and Microsoft recruits have helped the game’s player count skyrocket to the highest it’s ever been since launch in early 2024. In addition, we received the fantastic Halo Warbond, and, as if that wasn’t enough, another new HD2 Warbond is on the cusp of coming out. This Warbond contains a bunch of fantastic items, but there’s more than meets the eye. Arrowhead couldn’t capture everything in the trailer, and thus the developer has shown off extra new Helldivers 2 weapons and armor that will release alongside Dust Devils.

Extra Helldivers 2 weapons and armor accompanying new Warbond

The release date for the new Helldivers 2 Warbond, Dust Devils, is set for September 4th. Below is everything that will be included in the bundle as per the PlayStation Blog:

  • AR-2 Coyote – Primary weapon
  • S-11 Speargun – Stratagem
  • M5-11 Solo Silo – Stratagem
  • EAT-700 Expendable Napalm – Stratagem
  • G-7 Pineapple – Throwable
  • Rattlesnake Patterns
    • FRV
    • Exo Suit
    • Shuttle
    • Hellpod
  • DS-42 Federation’s Blade – Armor

  • Rightful Occupier – Cape/Banner
  • Windswept Wayfinder – Cape/Banner
  • Desert Stormer – Amor Passive
  • Emote – Raider’s Cheer
  • Player Title – Burier of Heads

As if all of the above isn’t enough, on the Helldivers Discord, community manager, Baskinator, has revealed Superstore items that will release alongside the new Warbond. These Superstore items are as follows:

  • DS-10 Big Game Hunter (light armor)
  • CQC-42 Machete (secondary)
  • Eternal Corona (cape, card)

While the Dust Devils and above Superstore items come out on September 4th, the Into the Unjust update launches on September 2nd. This is a terrifying new update that allows players to explore Hive Worlds that lie behind the Gloom. You will explore a labyrinth of caves infested with Hive Lung, and you will face horrific new enemies such as new subterranean species of Terminid Warriors, Bile Spewers, and Chargers, and flying beasts called Dragonroach.
