    Warbond: Cutting Edge – New weapons bring a lot of oomph

    What can the new weapons do? The trailer for the war bond “On the Razor’s Edge” already gave us an initial idea of ​​what the new weapons can do.

    The new “ARC-12 Blitzer” shotgun fires a load of lightning bolts that you can use to grill multiple enemies at the same time.

    The energy weapon “LAS-16 Sickle” appears to be an assault rifle that fires laser shots. The PlayStation Blog also tells us that the rifle fires in volleys and that reloading is not necessary. However, if you overheat the weapon, you will have to install a new heat sink. This is equivalent to reloading.

    The “SG-8P PLASMA PUNISHER” is also listed as a shotgun, as it is a modified variant of the “Punisher” shotgun already available in the game. In the trailer, however, the “SG-8P-PLASMA-PUNISHER” looks more like a kind of grenade launcher, as it shoots exploding plasma projectiles.

    The new armor also apparently comes with special abilities. For example, the PlayStation Blog states that the EX-16 PROTOTYPE 16 generates a strong magnetic field.

    Inside the EX-00-PROTOTYP X there are cables that are supposed to work with 400,000 volts. The armor is also insulated with a rubber underlayer.

    However, the announced update is currently not causing the greatest leaps of joy in the Helldivers 2 community. Many players are still concerned about the latest patch, which nerfed some of the strongest weapons and tactical equipment: Helldivers 2: Some players are really angry after the new patch: “Democracy can’t handle me at the moment.”
