Helldivers 2 Sets Feb. 3 ‘Siege Breakers’ Warbond With Exploding Hammer and Heavy Arsenal

Arrowhead says the unusually quick release follows a recent update pause that created a backlog.

Overview

  • The premium Warbond adds the LAS-16 Trident primary (now firing six beams), the CQC-20 Breaching Hammer, GL-28 belt-fed grenade launcher, EAT-411 Leveller, G/SH-39 throwable shield, and SA-7/SA-8 armor with the Supplementary Adrenaline passive.
  • A short “confidential transmission” in the trailer is widely read as teasing the original game’s Cyborgs, though Arrowhead has not confirmed the faction’s return or timing.
  • Senior designer Alex Kravchenko said the Breaching Hammer carries seven explosive charges and its loaded strike delivers a 2100-damage blast with anti-armor penetration.
  • Kravchenko also described the EAT-411 Leveller as a wider-radius, higher-yield missile option and noted the new armor passive restores stamina based on damage taken, with notable synergy reported with the Dead Sprint booster.
  • Siege Breakers is a paid Warbond obtained with Super Credits, and reporting underscores that the fast turnaround from the Jan. 22 Warbond reflects backlog clearing rather than a permanent cadence change.
