While today’s top story remains the Liberation of Tien Kwan, Super Earth high command (developer Arrowhead) has revealed the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond, giving all loyal Helldivers a glimpse of the arsenal on the way to the forces of Democracy. Expect distribution to begin on 14th March in exchange for a lifetime of service and an appropriate amount of Super Credits.
Cutting Edge contains an assortment of anti-alien weaponry, prototype suits of battle armour that harness the power of lightning, and, crucially, new capes. The G-23 Stun Grenade and LAS-7 Dagger pistol will allow a little more flexibility in terms of loadouts, but it’s the new primary weapons that have caught our discerning eye.
Inching towards Warhammer 40,000 with every addition, the LAS-16 Sickle is a laser rifle that fires short bursts and won’t require reloading. However, the heatsink can be replaced when in danger of overheating. Next, a modified Punisher shotgun, the SG-8P, fires volatile, explosive plasma rounds, which will likely end up being equally lethal to both friends and foes alike. Finally, the ARC-12 Blitzer can project an arc of close-range lightning or be charged to rattle off powerful bolts.
