A new Premium Warbond has been announced for Helldivers 2, and one of the included items may increase your risk of accidentally taking out your fellow Helldivers. The Second Galactic War has been heating up recently with the Battle for Super Earth, which saw the deployment of the beloved SEAF infantry into the field, but developer Arrowhead Game Studios is already looking ahead to a new Warbond.
The Helldivers 2 YouTube channel put out a trailer showing off the new Force of Law Warbond, and it includes a brand-new Guard Dog equipped with lightning weaponry. The AX/ARC-3 "Guard Dog" K-9 appears to be a floating autonomous ARC-12 Blitzer, a lightning shotgun with limited range and moderate damage, but a wide spread and the ability to slow oncoming enemies. ARC weapons have an unfortunate tendency to fry your teammates as well, and the Guard Dogs are notoriously unpredictable in where they aim. The new Guard Dog joins alongside plenty of other new additions when the Force of Law Warbond launches on June 12.
Force of Law seems to make an effort to address recent criticisms of Helldivers 2 Warbonds as not featuring enough content for their price....
