Watch on YouTube · from the official post

Explosive. Decisive. Definitive. The latest technological advancements in battlefield problem-solving and innovative instruments of Freedom are yours to field test with maximum force and minimum restraint.

So, get to your Hellpods and join the trigger-happy YOLO rookies and the cunning, somehow-still-surviving campaign veterans of the Helldiver ranks en route to your nearest hostile hot zone in epic missions of industrial-scale Liberation.

Together you can overwhelm the diabolical forces of evil and crush peace-resistant hostiles under the inexorable Tracks of Justice.

Get out there, Helldivers, and create a legacy that will endure considerably longer than you do.

The Ironclad Democracy Warbond includes:

Weapons

AR-11 Arbitrator

Primary – The electrical firing mechanism of this assault rifle releases caseless ammunition rounds in rapid succession, while the underslung shotgun delivers battlefield variety with a sudden and fatal surprise.

GL-15 Evictor

Primary – Trade precision for devastating area-of-effect capabilities with a powerful pump-action grenade launcher. The manual single-round reload makes it a highly methodical choice for squads requiring an explosive approach to dispute resolution.

P-34 Breacher

Secondary – Unholster this punishing missile pistol to burn through your target’s armor – or any outer layer – with sticky projectiles powered by phosphorous fuel and loaded with an explosive payoff.

Throwables

G-60 Anti-Tank Seeker

Equipped with a high-yield payload especially effective against armored vehicles, this smart grenade delivery drone tracks the user’s movements before homing in on nearby enemies and exploding on impact.

G-8 Immolation

For you who likes to burn everything in your path. The immolation grenade sacrifices the boom for a blanket of fire to engulf your target in the blazing heart of Justice.

Armor

BFM-16 Tanker

Light Armor – Inspired by the legendary armored cavalry of the First Galactic War, this lightweight suit features integrated acoustic dampeners to shield the wearer from the deafening roar of Freedom… and the disruptive screams of dissidence.

BFM-220 Ironclad

Heavy Armor – Forged from surplus hull plating, this hulking suit features an integrated servo-bracing system and a towering blast-shield collar as favored by Helldiver barbershop quartets heard throughout the galaxy.

Armor Passive – Blunt-Force Mitigation

Makes Helldivers more resistant to being knocked off their feet when under attack and reduces any damage taken from impact and collisions by 30%, while also providing a higher armor rating.

Capes

Standard of Rapid Evacuation

Adorned with a fearsome armored division crest, this abbreviated cape ensures the wearer's elite status is clearly broadcast to their subordinates, without the hem becoming fatally entangled in their own vehicle's heavy tread mechanisms.

Shroud of The Juggernaut

The sheer weight of this camouflage shroud perfectly complements a Helldiver operating as a walking tank. Astute observers will also note that the shattered woodland pattern conceals a highly classified, morale-boosting message in Morse code.

Boosters

Surplus EAT Allocation

Enjoy two free uses of the Expendable Anti-Tank (EAT) Stratagem per mission; that’s enough to grant a full squad one single-use rocket launcher each, provided of course that all squad members employ the proper equipment distribution protocol as standard.

Integrated Extinguishers

For the Helldivers who like to play with fire, we have the Integrated Extinguishers Booster which reduces the time to extinguish flames if you accidentally set your teammates ablaze.

Plus

  • Emote – Helmet Durability Check.
  • Player Cards – Standard of Rapid Evacuation and Shroud of The Juggernaut.
  • Title – Treadhead.
  • A Premium Warbond First: Tank Exclusive Patterns – Verdant camouflage, Glacial polymer, and Executive onyx.
