has its next premium warbond, called Democratic Detonation, and there’s an explosive theme with this one.

Democratic Detonation adds new weapons, including an Exploding Crossbow and Grenade ******* that are sure to cause as much damage to teammates as they are the automatons and terminids. However, there is new armor that helps with the inevitable increase in explosive damage across the battlefield.

As with previous Premium Warbonds, Democratic Detonation costs 1,000 Super Credits. While you can earn Super Credits from gameplay and Warbonds, you can also buy them for real-world money. Via the in-game shop, 1,000 Super Credits costs $9.99. Premium Warbonds do not expire, so you can work your way through them at your own pace safe in the knowledge their items will remain available.

Here’s a list of everything in Helldivers 2's new Democratic Detonation Warbond, per Arrowhead:

Firepower

BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle

Deliver righteous judgement to your enemies with accuracy. This armour-penetrating ******** rifle is best used against smaller groups.

R-36 Eruptor Rifle

Keep your distance… this bolt-action rifle fires jet-assisted shells that explode shrapnel in all directions upon impact. All directions. Even your face.

CB-9 Exploding Crossbow

Kaboom! Enjoy powerful exploding bolts that dish out max damage upon direct impact. Gravity must be accounted for when aiming.

Secondary Weapons & Utility Booster

G-123 Thermite Grenade

This little beauty can stick to surfaces before burning up to a toasty 2000°C.

GP-31 Grenade *******

Does what it says on the label – a ******* that fires grenades. Don’t forget to reload between shots though.

Expert Extraction Pilot Booster

Need to get out of a jam fast? This booster lowers the time it takes for the extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon. Home in time for dinner.

Armor

CE-27 Ground Breaker

Medium Armor.

“The ground is just another obstacle that hasn’t yet been cleared.” – SGM Janet Jones, Excavation Corps Founder.

CE-07 Demolition Specialist

Light Armor.

Originally worn by Lunar terraformers, this suit can withstand rapid changes in pressure, heat, and personal velocity.

FS-55 Devastator

Heavy Armor.

Domestic versions of this armour allow colonial farmers to safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece.

Of course, always accessorise your choice of armour with brand-new capes – Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, or Freedom’s Tapestry – as you mix and match your lethal loadout of liberation.
