Sony says its live service game hit Helldivers 2 is now PlayStation’s fastest-selling game launch ever, with sales “far exceeding expectations” at 12 million copies sold across PC and PS5 in its first 12 weeks.
Helldivers 2’s Next Premium Warbond, Polar Patriots, Is Giving Off Snowtrooper Vibes
02.05.2024 - 14:19 / ign.com
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has unveiled the game’s next premium Warbond, called Polar Patriots, alongside a May 9 release date.
With a deep freeze theme and a Snowtroopervibe, Polar Patriots adds new weapons, armor, capes, and emotes to the explosive co-op PC and PlayStation 5 shooter. As with previous Premium Warbonds, expect Polar Patriots to cost 1,000 Super Credits. While you can earn Super Credits from gameplay and the Warbond itself, you can also buy them for real-world money. Via the in-game shop, 1,000 Super Credits costs $9.99. Premium Warbonds do not expire, so you can work your way through them at your own pace safe in the knowledge their items will remain available.
Arrowhead just released patch 01.000.300, which tweaked a long list of weapons, stratagems, and enemies. Yesterday, IGN reported on Arrowhead’s plan to tweak the Eruptor after a community investigation revealed a ricochet and shrapnel issue caused by this week’s patch.

And, of course, the new emotes! We know our brave, heroic soldiers like to bust out a new move right in the middle of ferocious battles – no matter the deadly risk – so rock out with Mime Instrumentation, request incoming patriotic chat with Call the Helldivers, and search for new voters with Distribute Ballots.
