Helldivers 2 Releases Polar Patriots Premium Warbond

The community decided
by Tit Krajnik on May 09, 2024   

Helldivers 2 launched a new paid Warbond on Thursday, May 9. Named Polar Patriots Premium Warbond, it introduced a range of new utilities, weapons, armor, and capes.

The release of the new warbond comes amid the controversy regarding Helldivers 2’s PlayStation account linking, which led to Arrowhead Game Studios letting players decide when to release the new Warbond.

 

 

What is Polar Patriots Premium Warbond?

Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Premium Warbond will introduce a plethora of new content for the players to enjoy. That includes new capes, utilities, armor, weapons, emotes, and player banners, adding more customization options.

Three new weapons, each with its own characteristics, are the AR-61 Tenderizer, SMG-72 Pummeler, and PLAS-101 Purifier.

The AR-61 is a high-caliber assault rifle capable of dealing heavy damage. However, it has a limited magazine size, requiring players to make each shot count.

The SMG-72 Pummeler's magazine size will make it more forgiving, and it comes with concussive rounds that daze enemies. Meanwhile, the PLAS -101 Purifier will live up to its name, setting traps capable of dealing devastating damage and rewarding those who take a more calculated approach to intergalactic battles.

Along with three new primary weapons, the Polar Patriots Premium Warbond will introduce new utilities, including G-13 Indendiary Impact, the P-133 Verdict, the Motivational Shock, and three new armor sets. Those are CW-36 Winter Warrior, CW-22 Kodiak, and CW-4 Artic Ranger.

How did Arrowhead Studios Decide on the Polar Patriots Premium Warbond Release Date?

Polar Patriots Premium Warbond was released on Thursday, May 9; however, the developers did not decide on this date.
The timing of the Warbond release was decided by the players, who were given the power by Director Johan Pilestedt, who sought community feedback following the PSN linking controversy.
 


In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Johan Pilestedt sought the community’s opinion on whether the new Warbond should be released on Thursday or whether the studio should delay the release. Voting ended with 73.8% of people agreeing that the Warbond should come out on Thursday, prompting Arrowhead to launch it sooner than planned.

On top of letting players decide the release date of Patriots Premium Warbond, Arrowhead also backpedalled on the decision to require all players to create a PSN account.
