Love crossword puzzles but don’t have all day to sit and solve a full-sized puzzle in your daily newspaper? That’s what The Mini is for!

While today's top story remains the Liberation of Tien Kwan, Super Earth high command (developer Arrowhead) has revealed the Cutting Edge Premium Warbond, giving all loyal Helldivers a glimpse of the arsenal on the way to the forces of Democracy. Expect distribution to begin on 14th March in exchange for a lifetime of service and an appropriate amount of Super Credits.
Cutting Edge contains an assortment of anti-alien weaponry, prototype suits of battle armour that harness the power of lightning, and, crucially, new capes. The G-23 Stun Grenade and LAS-7 Dagger pistol will allow a little more flexibility in terms of loadouts, but it's the new primary weapons that have caught our discerning eye.
Inching towards Warhammer 40,000 with every addition, the LAS-16 Sickle is a laser rifle that fires short bursts and won't require reloading. However, the heatsink can be replaced when in danger of overheating. Next, a modified Punisher shotgun, the SG-8P, fires volatile, explosive plasma rounds, which will likely end up being equally lethal to both friends and foes alike. Finally, the ARC-12 Blitzer can project an arc of close-range lightning or be charged to rattle off powerful bolts.

I best get finding those super credits. Only had 600 last time i checked.
@Kidfunkadelic83 indeed I need to start grinding those credits out. I had a few rounds last night and I like the new environmental effects and hazards. Heck I might even purchase some credits to show support for the dev as this game has given me a lot to smile about given recent personal events. Seems fair to give a little back.
@Jamesblob my thoughts exactly
@Northern_munkey ive been busy the past few evenings but i will jump on with you over the weekend mate

Helldivers 2 is the best-selling video game of 2024 so far in the USA. Full stop. Done. Accounting for both physical and digital purchases, Circana data places it at the top of the sales charts for both February 2024 and the year so far. The unexpected hit is said to have sold more than eight million copies, but that stat will have increased since. The PS5, PC title beat out competition from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to land top spot for the month, though the Square Enix sequel did release on the final day of February.

One of PS Plus’ less publicised perks are the bonuses it adds for free-to-play games, and members to all tiers of Sony’s subscription service can grab a pretty nifty free Fortnite pack from today. The Blazin’ Wheels Pack includes the Lina Scorch Outfit with a LEGO variant, as well as a pretty cool Gas Up Back Bling. Once redeemed, all items will be added to your Locker free-of-charge.
A glut of additional PS5 and PS4 games are coming to PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium this week, and as is usually the case, there's a lot of variety on show.

Sony knows it’s onto a good thing with the PS Store, as with each passing week it continues to add dozens of new titles, all of which are ripe for future reductions and price promotions.

Helldivers 2 players have served heroically in the ongoing intergalactic war effort, turning out in their millions to patriotically defend Super Earth from the external threats of both Bug and Bot. But reports have begun to trickle in about a new enemy faction moving in the shadows, or perhaps more appropriately, the return of an old nemesis, one known as The Illuminate. Some even suspect they already walk among us, which is obviously defeatist nonsense.
Between Planetary Hazards, Exosuits and inoculating a sector against the Terminids (only to discover flying variants), Helldivers 2 has kept Super-Earth lovers busy for the previous weeks. If all that wasn’t enough, the latest Premium Warbond “Cutting Edge” is now available, adding new weapons, armor and cosmetics.
Helldivers 2's Cutting Edge Premium warbond, aka DLC battle pass, is now available to buy in-game, and it is chock-full of oddball gadgetry such as lightning shotguns, burst-fire laser rifles and experimental armour. As with the Arc Thrower stratagem, the lightning shotgun fires arcs of electricity that conduct between players and enemies alike, but there's a fresh armour perk, Electrical Conduit, which reduces arc damage by 95%, allowing close-knit teams of Helldivers to roll around the battlefield frazzling themselves without much penalty.
Helldivers 2’s new Cutting Edge premium Warbond is live now, adding new weapons, gear, and armor to the smash hit PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter.
Several players have insisted that they've encountered a new type of flying Terminid but in keeping with the game's satirical tone,Arrowhead Studios' CEO Johan Pilestedt believes it's all nonsense. In the weeks after the game's launch, the community has been hard and working trying to figure out exactly what could be causing the Terminids to spread so rapidly among the stars. Some are speculating that Super Earth itself could be creating the «aliens» but the game's director is trying to throw everyone off the scent.
