Helldivers 2 builders Arrowhead have revealed the brand new gear that’ll be arriving within the recreation with its subsequent warbond on June 12, and there is an armour set that appears impressed by one other franchise excessive on authoritarian satire, Choose Dredd.
Actually, I am shocked it is taken that lengthy for one of many warbonds – which as loads of folks have identified typically quantity to giving gamers a strategy to look much more fascisty than you do by default in Helldivers 2 – to dip into one thing Dredd-ish.
As you may see in direction of the top of the trailer above, this armour set – dubbed the BP-77 Grand Juror – will grow to be purchasable from the sport’s superstore as soon as this newest warbond goes dwell. There is a cape, pistol and participant card to go together with it, if you wish to full the look.
It is attention-grabbing, if comprehensible given what number of HD2 gamers have been clamouring to decorate up like Dredd, that Arrowhead’s opted to promote this set individually to the similarly-themed Power of Legislation warbond it is dropping the identical day. Each are about wanting like a militarised cop (or a daily cop, given the occasions we dwell in), in spite of everything.
Because it stands, in the event you spend your Tremendous Credit on the warbond, you will get the standard little assortment of contemporary stuff multi functional bundle. There are two armours – the medium BP-20 Appropriate Officer set and light-weight BP-32 Jackboot set, the previous of which seems to have drawn some visible cues from Robocop with the form of its helmet’s visor, probably ticking one more beloved satire field.
Weapon-wise, there’s the AR-32 Pacifier assault rifle and G-109 Urchin stun grenade, which sticks to enemies and downs them with electrical pulses. There’s additionally the AX/ARC-3 ‘Guard Canine’ Ok-9 stratagem, which is mainly a gun taped to a drone that follows you round and makes certain an enemy does not lay down the legislation in your bottom whilst you’re distracted by some Tremendous doughnuts.
As a few of the people on Reddit who’re making an attempt infer an additional little bit of story from Arrowhead’s warbond deployment have identified, it is arguably a bit bizarre to get army police gear simply because the Galactic Battle’s moved away from Tremendous Earth’s streets. However hey, it is an opportunity to shout that you are the legislation as you are taking down some bots.
