Helldivers 2‘s next Warbond ‘Siege Breakers’ will release on February 3.
As detailed in a recent PlayStation Blog post by Arrowhead’s social media and community manager, this Warbond is for players needing “something to smash through […] towering foe with impenetrable fortifications.”

The Warbond includes the “new and improved version” of the “beloved” LAS-16 Trident, which now fires six beams instead of the original three, plus the CQC-20 Breaching Hammer, which “can do straight smashing, or it can have an explosive charge attached to its head to drive the point home.” There’s also the GL-28 Belt-Fed Grenade Launcher that lets you “continuously fire grenades in a non-stop explosive barrage,” as well as skins, armor sets, capes, banners, and a throwable shield, too.
Helldivers 2’s latest patch, Into the Unjust: 5.0.2., dropped last week and introduced a new mission type: Commando, the Redacted Regiment Warbond, and “important updates” to suppressed weapons. “Democracy doesn’t always need to shout,” Arrowhead said on Steam. “This patch is deploying some important updates to suppressed weapons, allowing Helldivers to eliminate threats with reduced detection and tighter tactical control. Expect quieter kills, cleaner engagements, and new opportunities for coordinated strikes before the enemy knows you’re there. Remember: stealth is a tool, not a substitute for overwhelming firepower. Use it wisely, Helldivers!”
In December, Helldivers 2 received its big 5.0.0 patch as well as its jungle-themed Python Commandos Warbond, which added a number of fan-requested weapons, including a minigun. In September, the studio’s CEO confirmed Helldivers 3 is not in any plan developer Arrowhead has right now, saying that instead it wants Helldivers 2 to keep going for years and years, like veteran MMO RuneScape. And then there’s the Helldivers 2 movie, which is picking up steam.
