The wait is over. Helldivers 2's new War Bond is now available for any player to acquire. It's called the Flame of Freedom and it's themed around fire, much like Cutting Edge did with electricity. It brings with it new weapons, armor, power-ups, and skins for different elements of the game.
Flame of Liberty is a Premium War Bonus that costs 1,000 Super Earth Credits (blue), which is 9.99 euros. It maintains the same structure as its predecessors: three pages with eight rewards on the first two and six on the third. How much does it cost to unlock everything? Below are all the numbers.
- Page 1: 85 Medals
- Page 2: 197 Medals
- Page 3: 232 Medals
- Full War Bond: 514 Medals
The new armor and weapons are especially powerful. Armor offers 70% protection against fire, so getting burned is hardly a death sentence anymore. On the other hand, we tested the shotgun SG-451 Barbecue and it is a beast. Unlike the version we have had until now, it reloads bullet by bullet and its incendiary pellets have less dispersion.
As for the rest of the pages, the new flamethrowers are worth it. Flam-66 Calcinator and P-72 Scorcherprimary and secondary respectively, and the Fire Pods power-up. The latter is especially good: when a pod hits, it sets fire to anything in the vicinity. In short: everything focused on setting our enemies on fire.
At VidaExtra | Helldivers 2 is not dead nor is it going anywhere, it is just going through a moment that all video games go through
At VidaExtra | I've seen that the Automaton front of Helldivers 2 has become a problem: “nobody wants to touch our worlds”, and it's for a good reason
At VidaExtra | I played the best game of Helldivers 2 of my life and it was all thanks to the bad times in Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
