Warbond Contents
The latest Warbond is packed with sleek new “Great War”-inspired armor, weapons, and stratagems. Also, we’re finally getting the Entrenchment Tool as a Secondary, and a backpack-fed Flamethrower! Let’s dive right in.
New Primary: SMG/FLAM-34 Stoker
An SMG resembling a PP Bizon, complete with an underbarrel flamethrower attachment for added firepower.
New Secondary: P-69 Veto
A new pistol that looks very inspired by a Mauser, this pistol will finally let players complete their Parade Commander and Commissar ensembles.
“If you don’t want to use fire to clear the tunnels, consider using gas! The A/GM-17 Gas Mortar Sentry is an automated turret that fires gas shells–just make sure to stay upwind of those clouds, Helldiver!”
New Secondary: CQC-73 Entrenchment Tool
The entrenchment tool will finally be available as a new melee secondary, instead of just being a support weapon found randomly on certain maps. It of course has the ability to dig and trench, but whether it will be a medium or light pen weapon is yet to be revealed.
“And most thrillingly of all: the CQC-73 Entrenchment Tool is now available for your regular loadout as a secondary weapon! No more rifling through deceased colonist’s belongings to find a shovel–you’ll be digging ditches as soon as your hellpod lands!”
New Stratagem: A/GM-17 Gas Mortar Sentry
A new sentry that can slug mortar shells packing toxic gas at the enemies of democracy.
New Support Weapon Stratagem: B/FLAM-80 Cremator
A backpack-fed Flamethrower. This looks like it will be particularly fun on the Illuminate and Bug fronts!
“You’ll be bucking all those pesky, modern conventions with the B/FLAM-80 Cremator in hand. This heavy support flamethrower sprays a continuous column of flame, thanks to its massive backpack fuel tank.”
New Throwable: G-48 Giga Grenade
A new anti-tank grenade with a shockingly large explosive radius! The question is, how will it compare to the Thermite Grenade?
“And if you need to lob a grenade out of the trench, we recommend the G-48 Giga Grenade throwable, which might be too heavy to throw great distances, but it makes up for range with a massive blast that will break up the oncoming enemy into much smaller, more manageable pieces.”
New Armors
Great War inspired armors, and they look absolutely fantastic!
CPG-48 Sapper (Medium Armor)
“You might want to bring some extra supplies as you shovel your way to the front line. The CPG-48 Sapper is a medium armor with plenty of pouches and big pockets to store your battlefield essentials. In fact, it comes with a version of the Concussive Padding armor passive–Grenadier–which provides explosive damage resistance and lets you store extra throwables! To complete your entrenched look, use this armor with the Dignity of Toil cape and player card to honor your most useful everyday carry tool: your shovel.”
Commandant (Light Armor)
“But let’s say you need to look more official to motivate the squad stuck in the battle trenches. For that, you’ll want the CPH-26 Commandant light armor with–as pristine as your service record, with a high collar to match your high ambition to move up through the ranks. It’s the kind of fit that says I could court-martial you at any time, and pairs perfectly with the Crest of the Unsullied cape and player card. It also has its own version of the Concussive Padding passive–Hazmat–which provides both explosive and gas damage resistance, as well as reduced sidearm recoil.”
Cosmetics
“Of course, you don’t want to use antiquated equipment, but maybe you’d still like to give your items an old luster just for fun. Give your loadout the lived-in, battle-worn look of a real soldier with the Heritage Olive pattern, available for your hellpods, FRV, Pelican, and exosuits.”
“And if we’re playing as old-fashioned soldiers, why not greet each other the old-fashioned way with a Diplomatic Handshake! You might be gassing and burning your enemies, but you keep the squad dynamics classy.”
