Attention, Helldivers of Super Earth! The streets are about to become a battleground like never before with the drop of the latest premium Warbond in Helldivers 2 - the Urban Legends. This new addition to the arsenal is specifically tailored for close-quarters combat in the urban environments where the Illuminate have recently made their presence felt. Here's a breakdown of what this Warbond brings to the table:
New Weapons and Stratagems
- SQC-19 Stun Lance: Helldivers 2's first melee weapon to take the secondary slot, offering a unique blend of reach and power. Designed for the tight, narrow streets of city battles, this extra-large poker deals damage and stuns adversaries, making it a perfect match with the new SH-51 Directional Shield stratagem. Imagine holding back waves of foes while you jab with this electric lance - it's both strategic and exhilarating.
- A/FLAM-40 Flame Sentry: Urban combat often means dealing with swarms of enemies, and what better way than with a stationary flamethrower turret? This entry is designed to control chokepoints, roasting groups of Voteless, or any other unfortunate invaders in its path. However, caution is advised; if the red ammo canister gets hit too much, you'll have a fiery explosion on your hands. It's a high-risk, high-reward tool for area denial.
Armor for the Urban Warrior
- SR-18 Roadblock Heavy Armor: Channel your inner Spartan with this set. Featuring a crested helmet and massive pauldrons, this armor looks the part and comes with the 'Siege Ready' passive, boosting your primary weapon reload speed by 30% and increasing ammo capacity by 20%. Perfect for those who like to stand their ground amidst the chaos of urban warfare.
- SR-24 Street Scout Light Armor: For Helldivers preferring agility over brute force, this light armor offers the same 'Siege Ready' benefits but in a package that lets you weave through the battlefield with ease. The design evokes the look of an offroad biker, ready to take on the rugged urban landscapes.
Additional Gear and Cosmetics
Beyond weaponry and armor, the Urban Legends Warbond includes:
- New Capes: The Great Cloak of Rebar Resolve and Holder of the Yellow Line provide not just style but also a psychological edge, reminding the Illuminate of the resolve of Super Earth's finest.
- Emotes and Player Cards: The new "This is Democracy" emote allows you to make a bold statement with a kick reminiscent of a certain ancient battle cry, paired with matching player cards to show your allegiance.
- Urban Camouflage: The Concrete Jungle pattern for your Hellpods, shuttle, and exosuit helps you blend into the urban environments, potentially giving you the element of surprise.

Whether you're defending a narrow street or clearing out an enemy-held building, these new additions will expand your tactical options and enhance your survival in the gritty urban battlegrounds of Helldivers 2.
