Every month, Helldivers 2 dev Arrowhead have released a Warbond which includes additional items such as skins, weapons, and emotes. To date, there are six Warbonds in the game with the latest being the Viper Commandos pack. With the release of the Viper Commandos Warbond, Arrowhead stated that the devs would be slowing down the release schedule of Warbonds. We now have an update on the next Warbond for Helldivers 2 courtesy of community manager Twinbeard.
The next Warbond for Helldivers 2 is rumored to be the Freedom’s Flame Warbond. This was discovered after a leaker posted coding from the game with various items pertaining to the Warbond. Some of the items include a new stratagem, “Safety Orange” color schemes for the Hellpod and exosuit, and plenty of weapons.
Yesterday, Helldivers 2 community manager Twinbeard gave an update on the next Warbond in the Helldivers 2 Discord server. In this update, Twinbeard stated, “The date for the next Warbond hasn’t been revealed, nor the internal between them going forward. The decision to increase the cadence from what was prior monthly still stands, however, so no new Warbond yet.”
While this doesn’t give a ton of insight into what is going on with the Warbonds, it does show that we most likely won’t be getting the Freedom’s Flame Warbond for a little while longer. We imagine the interval between the Warbonds will be increased to two months meaning we think the next Warbond will be added in August and not July since we got one in June. There are plenty who have said that the release date for Freedom’s Flame has been leaked and it is July 12, 2024 or next Friday.
Considering Arrowhead tends to release updates on Tuesday or Thursday, we doubt the July 12 timeframe will hold up. If anything, we will probably learn more about the Warbond near the end of the month so Arrowhead has more time to get everything worked out with it. Plus, the team is currently on vacation so it would not be a good time to add a Warbond that has the potential to add more issues to the game when fewer devs are available to work on it.
