Arrowead Game Studios has detailed Helldivers 2’s latest Premium Warbond. It’s called Freedom’s Flame and promises new fire-themed armaments and other treats when it launches alongside the bug-splattering, bot-bothering live-service shooter’s previously announced “biggest ever update” next Tuesday, 6th August.
“Incinerate everything standing in your path with new weaponry almost too hot to handle,” Arrowhead exclaims on the PlayStation Blog. “Survive the heat of battle with lifesaving armour; and burn brightly across the cosmos with fresh emotes, capes, and skins.”
If it’s you want though, Freedom’s Flame includes the SG-451 Cookout as a new primary weapon capable of unleashing a “burst of incendiary phosphorus pellets” at enemies. It also features the FLAM-66 Torcher lightweight flamethrower as a second primary.

As for secondary weapons, there’s the P-72 Crisper pocket flamethrower – essentially a handgun that can spew fire over short distances – and it’s joined by the Fiery Drop – Firebomb Hellpods on the booster front. “Scorch the earth (and anything else) below,” Arrowhead explains, “as you touch down with attitude and ignite the dropsite.”
