The new Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond will bring new armor. Let's take a closer look at all the new choices that our Helldivers will soon have access to:

• EX-03 Prototype 3: This armor is said to include a layer of rubber for better insulation. This could mean that it could protect you from electrical damage from weapons like the Arc Thrower.
• EX-16 Prototype 16: Prototype 16 is said to generate a strong magnetic field due to its electric arc. This could indicate that this armor will be loaded with new traits that have something to do with electricity.
• EX-00 Prototype X: X is the result of several billion Super Credits and 12 years of research. It is said that this armor was made for "the Soldier of Tomorrow".

All of these armors have the Helldivers excited, but that's not all. The Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond will also bring new weapons to help you deal with the Terminid enemy types and Automaton. Let's take a look at the new weapons in the Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond:

• LAS-16 Sickle: This gun is a laser rifle that fires in short bursts. Players won't need to reload this weapon, but they must manage this gun's heat.
• SG-8P Punisher Plasma: The SG-8P Punisher Plasma is a modified version of the base shotgun. This weapon shoots rounds of plasma that upload upon impact.
• ARC-12 Blitzer: Shooting deadly electrical charges at close range, the ARC-12 Blitzer can take out multiple enemies at once.

From the looks of it, the Helldivers are about to receive some deadly equipment to help them fight for democracy.
