A new Premium Warbond for Helldivers 2 is set to launch on December 2, introducing players to three exciting new stratagems and weapons. This jungle-themed expansion, named the Python Commandos Premium Warbond, features the highly anticipated M-1000 Maxigun, a belt-fed machine gun sure to delight fans of classic ’80s action films with its formidable firepower.
In addition to the Maxigun, players will gain access to the AX/FLAM-75 “Guard Dog” Hot Dog, a flamethrower-equipped drone that provides mobile support in the game. Not only does this drone assist in combat, but it also returns to the player’s backpack periodically to refuel. The new melee weapon showcased in this update is the RS-20 Constrictor, a unique chainsaw sword that echoes styles from Warhammer 40K and is equally effective for clearing obstacles or battling the dangerous Terminids.
Another highlight is the introduction of the AR/GL-21 One-Two, a dual-function rifle featuring both an assault rifle and grenade launcher, tailored specifically for jungle combat. Accompanying these weapon updates, players have the option to purchase two distinctive armor sets. The RS-20 Constrictor set is lightweight, designed for showcasing firepower, while the RS-40 Best of Prey armor draws inspiration from the legendary soldier Ronald Mambo.
Furthermore, players can look forward to new emotes and the Chameleon Camo pattern for various vehicles and equipment, enhancing their gameplay experience. Currently, Helldivers 2 is available at a discounted price of $30 during the Black Friday sale, providing an excellent opportunity to engage in intergalactic battles for those looking to dive into the action.
The warbond will cost 1,000 Super Credits, which can be found in various caches throughout the game, or players can opt to purchase a stack for $10 for instant access to the new gear.
