Helldivers 2 Reveals 'Exo Experts' Warbond With Two Mechs and New Weapons, Launching April 28

The drop folds mechs into the game's permanent, earnable battle pass to widen playstyle options.

Overview

  • PlayStation and Arrowhead on Tuesday detailed The Exo Experts warbond, which arrives April 28 as the next content update for Helldivers 2.
  • The update adds two exosuit stratagems: the EXO-51 Lumberer with an anti-tank cannon and flamethrower, and the EXO-55 Breakthrough with a flak cannon and a large ballistics shield for holding ground.
  • New ground firearms include the MGX-42 Bullet Storm, a disposable multi‑barrel machine gun using caseless rounds, the SMG-203 Gallant with higher rate of fire and penetration but a smaller magazine, and the P-33 Missile Pistol with target lock.
  • Two armor sets—O-2 Heavy Operator and O-3 Free Spirit—arrive with the Oxygenator perk that lets players walk, run, and slide slightly faster, alongside new capes and vehicle skin patterns.
  • The warbond uses super credits that players can earn in missions or buy with real money, and it places mech stratagems inside a permanent pass rather than only as Galactic War rewards seen before.
