New Mech-Themed Warbond: Exo Experts
The upcoming Warbond, dubbed Exo Experts, brings two new exosuits into Helldivers 2. The first, the EXO-51 Lumberer, serves as an all-purpose offensive mech. It features a powerful anti-tank cannon to dismantle armored enemies while utilizing a flamethrower to manage swarms effectively. This versatile loadout is a welcome improvement over existing options, ensuring players have the tools needed for various missions.
The second exosuit, the EXO-55 Breakthrough, adds a unique twist by combining a flak cannon with a ballistic shield. This design may seem excessive, but it offers an additional layer of protection in battle, which could change the dynamics of gameplay significantly. The introduction of a flak cannon also draws comparisons to iconic weapons from other games, like Armored Core, appealing to fans of heavy artillery.
New Weapons and Armor Sets
Alongside these exosuits, the Warbond adds a range of new weapons. The MGX-42 Bullet Storm stands out as a disposable machine gun, releasing an overwhelming barrage of bullets from multiple barrels. Players will receive two of these guns per drop-pod, enhancing their firepower during intense encounters. Additionally, the SMG-203 Gallant offers rapid fire, sacrificing clip size for better armor penetration, while the P-33 missile pistol provides a compact yet powerful sidearm option.
