New Helldivers 2 Warbond introduces the Maxigun, a flamethrowing drone and more

Helldivers 2 has easily been one of PlayStation’s most successful live-service projects, with the co-op shooter continuing to see a consistent playerbase thanks to the addition of new players alongside a stream of additional content. Going live next week, Helldivers 2’s latest ‘Python Commandos’ Premium Warbond introduces a ton of additional firepower including a minigun, new stratagems and more.

Making the announcement on the PlayStation Blog, Arrowhead Game Studios’ Katherine Baskin wrote:

“Helldivers, high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Defense have accused you of being the best. And if you’re the best, then you’re going to need to be outfitted with the best, which is why the Ministry has fast-tracked the deployment of the Python Commandos Premium Warbond – arriving to your Super Destroyers on December 2!”

As with all Warbonds, ‘Python Commandos’ will feature a mixture of new weapons, strategems, armour, capes and more, including but not limited to:

• M-1000 Maxigun (minigun stratagem)
• AX/FLAM-75 ‘Guard Dog’ Hot Dog (flamethrower-equipped drone stratagem)
• CQC-9 Defoliation Tool (stratagem)
• AR/GL-21 One-Two (hybrid assault rifle / grenade launcher primary weapon)
• RS-20 Constrictor light armour set
• RS-40 Best of Prey heavy armour set
• Two new capes
• New patterns (camos) and emotes

Though far from the most content-rich or transformative Warbond, this latest update continues to add plenty of new toys to play with in order to suit your own personal style of liberation.
