Arrowhead Studios has revealed the next premium warbond (essentially a battle pass) for Helldivers 2. It's called Democratic Detonation and gamers are getting a ton of bonus extras...provided they're willing to shell out some dollars.

Democratic Detonation releases April 11 and comes packed with 3 new weapons, including a crossbow that fires explosive bolts, 3 armors, and 3 new secondary items. Another thing that stuck out is the Expert Extraction Pilot Booster that speeds up how fast exfil craft can swoop in and end the match in victory.

Check below for more info on what's offered in Democratic Detonation:

CB-9 Exploding Crossbow

• Kaboom! Enjoy powerful exploding bolts that dish out max damage upon direct impact. Gravity must be accounted for when aiming.

G-123 Thermite Grenade

• This little beauty can stick to surfaces before burning up to a toasty 2000°C.

GP-31 Grenade Pistol

• Does what it says on the label - a pistol that fires grenades. Don't forget to reload between shots though.

Expert Extraction Pilot Booster

• Need to get out of a jam fast? This booster lowers the time it takes for the extraction shuttle to reach the extraction beacon. Home in time for dinner.

CE-27 Ground Breaker
