Picture this: weaponry that could make the fabrics of space tremble, armor as resilient as the spirit of freedom, and capes so majestic they’d make even the mightiest of eagles screech with envy.
Say goodbye to the bugs and machines, and set ablaze the beacon of liberty like never before!
Your Arsenal Just Got An Upgrade, Helldiver
BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle
The BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle is the perfect weapon against armoured foes in smaller groups. It also looks like it was taken straight out of a modern sci-fi film.
R-36 Eruptor Rifle
This new rifle comes with a warning: Keep your distance. It fires jet-assisted shells that explode shrapnel in all directions upon impact.
CB-9 Exploding Crossbow
Who would’ve thought a crossbow would be so welcome in this time of democracy and freedom? Not me. That said, this weapon is a beast.
The bolts from the CB-9 launch powerful exploding bolts that explode on impact.
Note: gravity must be taken into account when aiming.
Secondary Weapons And New Utility Booster
G-123 Thermite Grenade
The G-123 Thermite Grenade sticks to surfaces before exploding into flames. It’s said it can reach up to 2000°C.
GP-31 Grenade Pistol
It’s a pistol… That fires grenades.
What more do you need against the anti-democratic evils of space?
Expert Extraction Pilot Booster
The Expert Extraction Pilot Booster shortens the time it takes for the extraction ship to land, allowing you to get out of there faster!
Just make sure you complete the mission first.
Armour
CE-27 Ground Breaker
A new Medium Armour. Which we presume looks like the above image…
CE-07 Demolition Specialist
A new Light Armour offering heat resistance.
FS-55 Devastator
A new Heavy Armour was originally designed for the use of colonial farmers to “safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece”.
There are also a few new capes to drape across your shoulders: Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury and Freedom’s Tapestry.
Democratic Detonation is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel on Thursday, April 11th.
Warbonds are optional in-game purchases through PSN. Players will need to either acquire enough Super Credits in the field or buy them for AUD $11.95.
More details can be found on the latest PlayStation Blog.
For freedom and democracy, Helldivers!
