Arrowhead Game Studios announced the release of the new premium warband for Helldivers 2: Python Commandos today via their Discord, Steam page, and YouTube channel. If you are interested in a look at the official message, you can dive on over to their Steam page, here.
In this particular case, I’d recommend you just head over to have a look at the official message. There is a video and some images, along with some descriptions on what to expect from the new Warband.
However, here is a mini summary:
- Three brand new stratagems and a new primary.
- The Ministry of Defense received thousands of requests from squad commanders for a minigun and we’re excited to finally give our Helldivers access to the M-1000 Maxigun! Belt-fed with ultra-high ammo capacity, this one is sure to make those bugs bleed.
- This Warbond also includes another addition to the line-up of faithful sidekicks for your Helldiver: the AX/FLAM-75 “Guard Dog” Hot Dog. This drone is equipped with a flamethrower to coat your foes in the fires of freedom before returning to your backpack to refuel.
- But if you don’t want to burn the jungle down, consider doing your deforestation with the CQC-9 Defoliation Tool. If the machete doesn’t cut it–whether it’s a tree or an enemy–surely this will!
- And finally, Python Commandos has a new and unique primary weapon: a combination assault rifle and grenade launcher called the AR/GL-21 One-Two. Heavy to wield, but the damage dealt is heavy too, making your primary slot more versatile than ever with two guns in one!
Stay safe out there, Helldivers! -Hobbit
