Two Helldivers on a rocky desert planet stand back to back, both of them sending huge streams of fire out from weapons in the Freedom’s Flame Warbond in Helldivers 2.

Arrowhead Game Studios has actually been upgrading Helldivers 2 given that its launch making use of Warbonds, material packs which contain brand-new tools, cosmetics, and shield. Arrowhead pledged to make each Warbond tilted in the direction of a particular dream, like the 80s-themedViper Commanders The next Warbond is Freedom’s Flame, and it leans heavily into a common tool of war: fire. Lots and great deals of fire.

Fire tools are currently component of Helldivers 2, and they can be a dangerous method to shake on the combat zone. For circumstances, I enjoy utilizing my Breaker Incendiary versus waves of Terminids, as it definitely thaws those sly little insects. It additionally blisters and eliminates various other Helldivers in– or slightly near– my line of fire. I may be attracted to gear up the brand-new tools in the Freedom’s Flame Warbond, as they appear really enjoyable, if additionally alarmingly dangerous.

The SG-451 Cookout is a pump activity shotgun with incendiary phosphorous pellets, while the FLAM-66 Torcher is a light-weight weapon that creates a much more affordable selection over theFlamethrower Stratagem Or, if you intend to go also smaller sized, the brand-new Secondary Weapon is the P-72 Crisper, a pocket-sized weapon that emerges over brief ranges.

The shield collections are especially interesting for every one of my close friends that have actually been sweltered by pleasant fire; they feature a perk that approves 75% resistance to fire. Now everybody can quit chewing out me for establishing them ablaze; that’s terrific. Finally, there’s a booster that stirs up the ground that Hellpods arrive on, that makes the touchdown tools a lot more harmful to robots and insects.

The Freedom’s Flame Warbond is readied to go surviveAug 8; it’ll sign up with Helldivers 2‘s largest upgrade yet, Escalation of Freedom, which is readied to be launched onAug 6. It’s an interesting time for the co-op shooter, and Arrowhead still has some dress up its sleeve to reveal later on– like that questionable great void sending out whale sounds over at Meridia.
