The core idea behind the Exo Experts Warbond update is simple: fight machines with even bigger machines. Exosuits aren’t just tools, as they are becoming a central part of the battlefield strategy. As a result, Arrowhead will add new offensive and defensive Exosuits to Helldivers 2.
Some of the new weapons are the following:
- MGX-42 Bullet Storm – a disposable heavy weapon stratagem
- SMG-203 Gallant – high fire rate, reduced magazine tradeoff
- P-33 Missile Pistol – compact but highly lethal sidearm
The update will also add new cosmetic rewards, including player titles, emotes, and banners.
