The Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond, released on December 13, 2024, gives Helldivers the tools to clear our streets of dissidents. This Warbond introduces the first melee weapon in Helldivers 2, along with other utilities to help keep neighborhoods clean of aliens. See what the Helldivers arm themselves with to protect our way of life right at our doorsteps.
On its release, the Illuminate had arrived for the first time, and with them came colony map types. Colony map types are a mix of familiar open wildlands and sprawling human settlements featuring long, open streets and tight alleyways.
What Is In The Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond?
The Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond features equipment perfect for urban combat. Following the Warbond formula, this Warbond includes new weapons, armor, boosters, and several cosmetics. And these pieces of equipment are sure to prepare any brave Helldiver for the tense urban fighting they will be facing in our bustling communes.
The notable items of this Warbond are:
- The SQC-19 Stun Lance: The first melee secondary weapon introduced to Helldivers 2. A long, spear-like weapon tipped with electrified prongs that temporarily stuns targets. Perfect for the close encounters on the narrow avenues of our colonies.
- The SR-18 Roadblock (Heavy) & SR-24 Street Scout (Light): Two new armors integrated with a unique armor passive, Siege Ready. These new armors are perfect for locking down lanes and pushing back the wicked forces of undemocratic extraterrestrials. Despite the lack of a medium armor option, these two armors are already excellent for fighting in tight urban spaces.
- The Siege Ready Passive: The armor passive featured in the two armors in the Urban Legends Warbond. The Siege Ready passive increases your weapon reload speed by a whopping 30% and your ammo capacity by 20%. Of course, this doesn’t affect weapons that include a backpack, since the ammo bag already comes loaded and ready for use.
- The SH-51 Directional Shield: A one-handed stratagem that deploys a broad energy shield in front of the Helldiver when activated. The barrier is semipermeable, meaning that it blocks high-speed projectiles from the outside, allowing the Helldiver to shoot through it. And with its wide barrier, you can protect other Helldivers close to you with just one barrier.
- The A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry: A close-range incendiary sentry stratagem that spews out flame like the dragons of ancient legend. Similar to the FLAM-40 Flamethrower, the flame it belches out is fueled by a volatile mixture of thermite, white phosphorus, capsaicin, allyl isothiocyanate, and 19 other accelerants
- The E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement: A mighty and accurate gun emplacement firing anti-tank rounds. This stratagem puts you in the seat of a tank killing sniper, capable of taking down the biggest foes from across the map. The 75mm APHE (Armor Piercing High Explosive) rounds fired by this stratagem can dismantle almost everything on the battlefield with just a few shots.
- The Armed Resupply Pod Booster: The Armed Resupply Pod booster Mounts a modified AR-23 Liberator on top of all resupply pods. This modification enables them to act as an automatic sentry protecting you and your team while you resupply. Even after all of the resupply pod’s boxes are empty, the pod, along with its gun, will continue to fire until it runs out of ammo.
Although the Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond doesn’t offer many weapons for your Helldiver, it does present other methods to enhance your existing arsenal. In addition to that, this Warbond also introduces one of the best anti-tank weapons in the game. But the one weapon that was in the Warbond opens up a new avenue of weapon types.
Is The Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond Affective In The Streets
The Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond specialises in close-quarters combat, and it excels at it. Equip the Stun Lance for melee combat or the Directional Shield to protect yourself from a volley of fire. And this Warbond still provides you with a long-range approach with the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement.
With megacities now in the game, the Helldivers 2 Urban Legends Warbond shines through from the rest more than ever. And as our enemies continue to siege our homes, it is more important than ever to prepare for the fight. So equip yourselves with the proper tools in the Urban Legends Warbond and sweep the streets of dissidents, Helldiver!
