The Freedom’s Flame Warbond will certainly be the center of the upcoming update. It is poised to bring an arsenal of weapons and armor to the battlefield.
The primary weapon is the SG-451 Cookout, a pump-action shotgun that fires incendiary phosphorus pellets, and the FLAM-66 Torcher, a lightweight flamethrower perfect for close encounters. For secondary firepower, the P-72 Crisper offers a compact flamethrower option that fits in your pocket, ideal for Helldivers on the go.
There’s a booster, Fiery Drop, which brings the Firebomb Hellpods that will scorch the earth upon landing. Players can also look forward to pieces of armor, including the I-09 Heatseeker and I-102 Draconaught provide fire resistance it also comes with visual aesthetics, with burnished blood-red plates and silica fiber foam construction.
In addition to equipment, the premium Warbond will bring also a ton of customization including capes, skins, and emotes.
