Nice, there’s a fresh Helldivers 2<\/a> warbond set to drop next week, just in case you’re already sick of the Quasar Cannon<\/a> and want to ditch it in favour of some new weapons.

Yup, just in case you needed more reason to stop moaning about the recent Slugger shotgun nerf<\/a>, here’s some more new gear to try out while you battle to secure planets like Maia and Estanu. It all looks pretty cool too, even if Arrowhead might be slowly turning the game into a medieval warfare sim.<\/p>\n
