Overview

  • Arrowhead has scheduled the Control Group Warbond for release on July 17, 2025, as the latest entry in Helldivers 2’s monthly premium Warbond cycle.
  • The VG-70 Variable volley gun offers auto, volley and Total firing modes, with the Total mode expending all remaining ammo at once and risking user injury.
  • The LIFT-182 Warp Pack generates short-range wormholes for instant relocation without cooldown, though exceeding safe jumps can collapse the singularity and kill the wearer.
  • Support stratagems include the PLAS-45 Epoch plasma cannon and A/LAS-98 Laser Sentry turret, both capable of explosive failure if overcharged or overheated.
  • Two new armor sets—AD-49 Apollonian and AD-26 Bleeding Edge—feature an Adreno-Defibrillator that grants a one-time full-health revival followed by continuous health decay.
