Today’s headline focuses on the liberation of Tien Kwan. The developer, Arrowhead, has unveiled the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond, offering Helldivers a sneak peek at the upcoming arsenal for the forces of democracy. The distribution is set to commence on March 14th in return for a lifetime of service and a suitable number of Super Credits.
Cutting Edge offers a variety of anti-alien weapons, avant-garde lightning-powered battle armor suits, and—most importantly—new capes. The G-23 Stun Grenade and LAS-7 Dagger pistol offer some flexibility in loadouts, but the new primary weapons have truly captured our attention.
Approaching Warhammer 40,000 territory, the LAS-16 Sickle is a laser rifle that shoots short bursts without the need for reloading. Nevertheless, the heatsink is replaceable if it starts to overheat. Introducing the modified Punisher shotgun, the SG-8P, known for firing volatile, explosive plasma rounds that pose a threat to both allies and enemies. The ARC-12 Blitzer offers the ability to project an arc of close-range lightning or be charged to unleash powerful bolts.
