Helldivers 2's brand new Warbond has only just been released, but the Stun Grenade is already a big hit with players.
The newly released Cutting Edge Warbond - essentially a battle pass - features a new utility called the Stun Grenade, and it's already an early hit with players because it allows them to stun even the game's biggest enemies: the feared Bile Titans.
"Stun grenade is a huge grab for high difficulties, stunning titans for five seconds is kinda nutty, 500kg indirect buff!" the top comment underneath the subreddit post reads. "Wait, it can stun Titans?" asks one player in disbelief, to which the original commenter claims that not only can it stun Bile Titans, but it can actually stun multiple of the big bad bugs at once.
Bile Titans are notoriously tricky buggers to deal with, especially on the harder difficulties in Helldivers 2. A few well-placed Recoilless rockets can deal with them pretty swiftly if you manage to hit them directly head-on, as can the Orbital Laser Stratagem, and now the Stun Grenade should help players bringing either bit of kit to the fight.
The subreddit post makes a pretty good point about the 500KG bomb. Hitting a moving target like the Bile Titans with the powerful bomb is a hard feat to pull off, but if you can get a Bile Titan or Charger stuck in its tracks with the Stun Grenade, you should have no trouble plopping down a Stratagem marker right atop them.
Elsewhere, the post below points out that the Flamethrower Stratagem is a really good combination with the new Stun Grenade. Sometimes enemies that have been set on fire can still come careening towards you and inflict fiery damage, but being able to stop Terminids in their tracks and then spray fire onto them eliminates that risk.
Not everyone's won over by the stun ability, though. "Would still rather impact grenades to kill spitters and close bug holes though, unfortunately. Maybe one person running them is a good idea, but I feel the majority of people will continue to benefit more from grenades," writes one player who's thinking tactically.
That's actually a very good point - you'll want to have one, or perhaps two, Helldivers using Stun Grenades in your squad, so you can still have a few teammates using damage-based grenades to close Bug Holes quickly and effectively. Variety is always a good tactic in Helldivers 2, and the Stun Grenade should be no exception to that rule.

is upping the firepower available to the soldiers of Super Earth, but as exciting as this news may be, it could actually be a cause for concern. Over the course of 's updates, there's been a good bit of debate over how strong weapons should be, with some key nerfs that addressed overpowered weapons causing community backlash from those who fell in love with these advantages. The nail-biting difficulty found on higher levels can make for thrilling gameplay, however, even if it dilutes the sense of a power fantasy.
As the community continues to fight in Super Earth's galactic war, one dedicated play has envisioned a simple yet effective solution to one of the game's persistent problems: Supply lines. While Arrowhead Studios does an excellent job of introducing mechanics and concepts to players, one aspect that isn't clarified when starting up the game is how interplanetary travel works. Fortunately, with such a committed player base, it didn't take long for players to learn about supply lines but despite the discovery, many are still unclear on how they actually work.
Helldivers 2's ongoing Major Order has tasked the community with liberating Tibit before the weekend is done, but the war effort on the Galactic West just suffered a fatal setback and High Command is blaming distracted divers for the loss.
Helldivers 2 players are arguing over what objectives to focus on, and getting upset with each other for going after the "wrong" planets.
For most people, Helldivers 2 doesn't immediately come to mind when you think of PlayStation, but Arrowhead CEO and the game's director, Johan Pilestedt, hopes to change that.
success keeps continuing, and with every Major Order issued by High Command, the game keeps improving. That's not to say it's perfect, however — as one unfortunate mechanic may actually result in the game crashing completely. Though is packed with hours of fun content, the game itself can sometimes be buggy, which is not that surprising considering it was just released in February. One unfortunate bug, however, may ruin a squad's fun completely.
The objective known as Operation Swift Disassembly is an exciting push of momentum against the threat of the Automatons, but soldiers of Super Earth would be unwise to place too much stock in its success. Unlike most online multiplayer games, has a constantly updating narrative based around the tides of the Galactic War. Progress is partly determined by the community's efforts in each Major Order, but the overall path is also shaped by a game master who ultimately controls the story.
Despite Helldivers 2 players being encouraged to move away from their enthusiastic bug-squashing in favor of some brutal bot-smashing, there are still a surprising amount of Helldivers not joining in on the latest Major Order, which isn't very democratic of them.
Helldivers 2 players have been issued a brand new Major Order, and it seems it's taking direct aim at all of the dedicated bug-squashing fans who aren't so enthusiastic about spilling oil from the deadly Automatons.
Dragon's Dogma 2 may have only been out for a few days, but players have already found a way to earn a heap of gold in no time at all, thanks to how Pawn quests work.
It's been a turbulent few days in the Helldivers 2 community. Arrowhead Game Studios (and the Ministry of Truth) has finally admitted that flying bugs are real, and the airborne critters are currently running wild in the game. We were also given a seriously tough Major Order from galactic game master Joel, which tasked us with liberating five planets in just three days.
