Footage from the Helldivers 2 dev server showed several new weapons, armor sets, strategems, boosters & more that are coming to the game soon.
Helldivers 2’s boom in popularity upon launch has hundreds of thousands of players fighting the forces of evil across the galaxy, and people are already starting to unlock every weapon available after dozens of hours of grinding.
As a result, the most dedicated Helldivers 2 players are already looking for more to unlock. Considering the game’s somewhat slim offering of weapons, with only a few guns in each category at launch, it isn’t too surprising that people want more options.
Fortunately, the next Warbond will be coming with some new weapons that may switch up the meta, and some leaks have shown what we can expect. Bear in mind that these leaks should be taken with a grain of salt considering they’re in-development content.
Helldivers 2 leak reveals a ton of new content
A Twitter thread showing some gameplay on the dev server has been making the rounds, with it having footage and screenshots of a ton of new equipment coming to the game.
First up are the new armor sets. No stats for these, but they’re certainly a departure from the armor sets that are currently in the game. All of the armor looks a bit less shiny and neat than most of the other armor options in the game currently other than the Hazmat suit, and each one has some new lore in its description.
As for the weapons, here are the full names and stats for every weapon and stratagem in the thread. Bear in mind that some parts of these leaks are incomplete due to the content being in development, and that all of this is subject to change.
