For all you democracy dealers out there, a brand new Warbond is soon to join Helldivers 2, giving you yet more rewards to earn. Launching on 9th May, Polar Patriots is its name, and this snowy-themed Warbond is frozen over with cool new stuff.
It includes three new primary weapons — the AR-61 Tenderizer, SMG-72 Pummeler, and PLAS-101 Purifier, each of which can be seen in the above trailer. You'll also be able to spend those medals on a new incendiary grenade, the Motivational Shocks utility item — which shocks players back to normal after being slowed by enemy attacks — and secondary weapon, the P-113 Verdict. On top of all that, there are three new armour sets, player banners, capes, and emotes to unlock.
Premium Warbonds can be unlocked by spending 1,000 Super Credits — a premium currency you can either purchase or, if you play enough, earn plenty of in-game.
Will you be working your way through the Polar Patriots Warbond in Helldivers 2? Deploy in the comments section below.

Nice. I think I have enough points in PS Stars to pick up the currency for this too.
Perfeito.
Looking at those snow boots, it'd be good to see if they positively affected stamina/mobility when trudging through the snow or sand drifts.
Does anyone know what will happen to past warbonds? Will they just always be there or will the disappear over time? I still have so much to unlock in all the different warbonds.
@Jill_Sandwich There's no time limit on Warbonds, they're all there permanently, so no pressure.
Time to start saving my medals. Would be awesome if they added traits/stats to the helmets and capes. I think they're going to announce the next enemy faction during the rumored showcase.
Great news, I saw the leak yesterday and hoped it was true, I quite like the snow trooper vibe and it would be nice to get a new 'viable' side arm!
@Quintumply do you know what the Motivational shocks booster is about?
@Mostik I've just added a little bit about it. From the PS Blog: "Literally shocks Helldivers back into action after being hit and slowed by sneaky, unjust attacks like the revolting bug acid vomit. Won’t help you much with area effects like EMS strikes, though."
@Quintumply Excellent, thank you. A no slow down effect when you run through 2 inch high foliage or those annoying white flower things on the ice planets could be useful!!
How does these warbonds work? Are these limited time offers like battle passes or can I buy them later an play trough them?
@Greifchen You can buy them whenever you want (they are not limited time offers) and they last forever so you don't have to rush to complete them.
@Greifchen You can work on them however you please. There's no time limit or FOMO. (At the moment!)
@J-Dubs @get2sammyb
Thank you both!
I was kinda hoping for freeze weapons/nades but those new armour skins look nice. Love that they've just lifted Halo's BR design
@NinjaNicky As of the latest patch, helmets have armour effects. Per the latest patch notes:
I was thinking it would be very cool to have a medic themed Warbond and get some support builds going. Like a secondary weapon that allowed me to shoot my squadmates for a small amount of healing while they try to extract themselves from a bug swarm, would be very cool.
My body is ready! I am interested in the new SMG!
What this game really needs is some new DLC modes complete with new trophies to hunt.
@NinjaNicky That would be very cool, hopefully they've got something cooking. Some more build variety would be good, but I can see how it would be a nightmare to balance it all.
