Helldivers 2 Truth Enforcers Warbond Drops This October 31st

Helldivers 2's Truth Enforcers Warbond: A New Arsenal for Super Earth's Defenders

Arrowhead Studios and Sony Interactive Entertainment are gearing up to release the Truth Enforcers Warbond, a premium content pack for Helldivers 2, launching October 31st, 2024. This isn't just a cosmetic update; it's a significant arsenal expansion, empowering players to become Super Earth's elite Truth Enforcers.

The Warbond functions similarly to a battle pass, using earned Medals to unlock items. Unlike typical battle passes, however, these are permanent unlocks. Purchased via the Acquisitions Center on your Destroyer ship for 1,000 Super Credits, the Truth Enforcers Warbond offers a wealth of new content.

The pack centers around upholding the Ministry of Truth's ideals. Expect cutting-edge weaponry and armor sets designed to enhance your Helldiver's capabilities.

New weaponry includes the PLAS-15 Loyalist Plasma Pistol (semi-auto or charged shots), the SMG-32 Reprimand (high-rate submachine gun for close-quarters combat), and the SG-20 Halt shotgun (alternating stun and armor-piercing rounds).

Two new armor sets are also included: the UF-16 Inspector (light armor with red accents and a "Proof of Faultless Virtue" cape) and the UF-50 Bloodhound (medium armor with red accents and a "Pride of the Whistleblower" cape). Both sets feature the Unflinching perk, reducing stagger from incoming fire.

Beyond armor, expect new banners, cosmetic patterns for Hellpods, exosuits, and Pelican-1, plus a new "At Ease" emote. The Dead Sprint booster also makes its debut, allowing continued sprinting and diving at the cost of health—a high-risk, high-reward option.

The Future of Helldivers 2

Despite a strong initial launch (peaking at 458,709 concurrent Steam players), Helldivers 2 has seen a player base decline, partly due to initial account linking restrictions. While the concurrent player count on Steam is currently below 40,000, the Truth Enforcers Warbond aims to reignite interest and bring players back to the fight for Super Earth. The new content's appeal to both returning and new players remains to be seen.
