Wondering when is the next Warbond in Helldivers 2? Warbonds are Helldivers 2’s take on the battle pass, except instead of having to blast through it before it runs out, Warbonds give you much more freedom to take your time and to pick and choose what unlocks you want out of it.

If you’re reaching the limits of your current Warbond with all the democracy you’ve been spreading, then you might instead be saving up your medals in preparation for the next Warbond to drop. So if you’re wondering when the next Warbond is set to come along, we’re here to tell you exactly that.

When is the next Warbond in Helldivers 2?

The next major content update for Helldivers 2 is scheduled for April 11th, which will add a brand-new Democratic Detonation Warbond. This will include a bunch of new content, with new weapons, armor and more becoming available to players. Unfortunately, this does mean you’ll have to start from page one again, so it might be a good idea to start saving up those medals.

Alex’s Advice

Remember that if you ever buy a Warbond, you will never lose access to it. You can take your time buying everything on offer, even after the next Warbond starts.

Alongside new Warbonds, there’s typically a big in-game event that comes along, so while the Automatons seem to have been defeated for now, don’t be surprised if they (or something else) makes a big return with this update.

What’s in the next Warbond in Helldivers 2?

Unfortunately, we haven’t had confirmation yet about what exactly is going to be included in the next Warbond. Based on previous Warbonds, we know that the next Warbond will feature some new armour sets, new primary weapons, utilities, and brand-new player banners, capes, emotes and victory poses.
