Helldivers 2 Finally Gets a Good Warbond: Force of Law Drops June 12

Good news, Helldivers! Arrowhead Studios looks to actually be dropping a cool Warbond for Helldivers 2 with Force of Law, which gets released next week on June 12.

The Warbonds haven’t been that good as of late. I actually have unused Super Credits in my account, just sitting there, as there is nothing I actually want to buy.

That looks to be changing with Force of Law, which offers Helldivers the AR-32 Pacifier, the G-109 Urchin stun grenade, the AX/ARC-3 “Guard Dog” K-9, the GL-52 De-Escalator support weapon, and more. Per the norm, there are various armors, patterns, and emotes.

Question: Where was this for the final battle for Super Earth?!

Anyway, on social media, I’ve been critical of the game’s guns, even with the new weapon customizations. Fact is, they’re either not powerful enough or there isn’t enough ammo. Oh, and it has nothing to do with skill. I’m a level 150 Helldiver (insert sunglasses smiley emoji).

Update: The stats are out. TBH, it looks like another Warbond that’s not too promising. Might be worth it for the AX/ARC-3 “Guard Dog” K-9, though.

Update #2: I’ve been playing with the new Warbond. I really like the GL-52 De-Escalator support weapon. It’s basically the grenade launcher with a secondary effect from arc weaponry. It can take out Bile Titans and the like. It’s pretty OP, actually. The AR-32 Pacifier is okay. There does seem to be a lot of ammo; however, it would be better if it packed a bit more of a punch. I guess then it would basically be the Stalwart, but it would be nice to have a good primary that doesn’t take up a stratagem slot.
