While today's top story remains the Liberation of Tien Kwan, Super Earth high command (developer Arrowhead) has revealed the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond, giving all loyal Helldivers a glimpse of the arsenal on the way to the forces of Democracy. Expect distribution to begin on 14th March in exchange for a lifetime of service and an appropriate amount of Super Credits.
Cutting Edge contains an assortment of anti-alien weaponry, prototype suits of battle armour that harness the power of lightning, and, crucially, new capes. The G-23 Stun Grenade and LAS-7 Dagger pistol will allow a little more flexibility in terms of loadouts, but it's the new primary weapons that have caught our discerning eye.
Inching towards Warhammer 40,000 with every addition, the LAS-16 Sickle is a laser rifle that fires short bursts and won't require reloading. However, the heatsink can be replaced when in danger of overheating. Next, a modified Punisher shotgun, the SG-8P, fires volatile, explosive plasma rounds, which will likely end up being equally lethal to both friends and foes alike. Finally, the ARC-12 Blitzer can project an arc of close-range lightning or be charged to rattle off powerful bolts.
What do you think of Helldivers 2's Cutting Edge Premium Warbond? Will you patriotically pick it up in service to Democracy and unleash this new arsenal on both Bug and Bot? Let us know in the comments section below.

I best get finding those super credits. Only had 600 last time i checked.
@Kidfunkadelic83 indeed I need to start grinding those credits out. I had a few rounds last night and I like the new environmental effects and hazards. Heck I might even purchase some credits to show support for the dev as this game has given me a lot to smile about given recent personal events. Seems fair to give a little back.
@Jamesblob my thoughts exactly
@Northern_munkey ive been busy the past few evenings but i will jump on with you over the weekend mate 👍
@Kidfunkadelic83 awesome 👍
Ive already managed to collect enough super credits for two more premium warbonds so im looking forward to dishing up some fresh liberty with these.
Hope they stay at 150 - 250 sc cost.
I'm pretty fresh into the game and loving every minute. Could someone tell me pls what might happen with the old premium tier which I recently bought?
Stun grenade? That's cute, but i'd rather just blow them up!
@BrotherFilmriss
Absolutely nothing will happen Simply it will be 3rd Warbond added to the list, and all 3 will be forever in game, so You can buy them/unlock stuff in them/play game at Your own leisure.
@Prime_Objective
Excellent, thank you!
Love the game don't love the recent patch but just more stuff to unlock and earn is always welcome.
@BrotherFilmriss it will stay
@JB_Whiting high level bot missions require stealth, silent running and quick getaways, especially if you're not a full squad. Stunning bots and fixing them to the spot is more helpful for that than a frag grenade killing a couple and alerting everything else.
@GZoo there is one suit at 400, 250 isn't the cap so far.
Does anyone know if this will displace the current premium warbond from being progressed? What if I haven't yet purchased it?
@zhoont no it won't. You'll still have that and this one as well.
@GZoo the Warbonds will be more than just 250sc. Those are just the individual armor sets at that price. The devs said the warbond prices will vary based on how much content is in each. Since the first one was 3 pages of content and cost 1000sc that should give us an idea of how things will be priced going forward. My guess this next one will also be 1000sc as it appears to have the same amount of armor and weapons the first premium warbond has.
