Stayed on the cutting edge of Helldivers tech. They unlocked the latest gear and research for me in no time, so I was always deploying with top-tier equipment.
Rewards
The Cutting Edge Warbond introduces some of the most powerful and futuristic equipment in Helldivers 2. It features 5 new high-tech weapons and 3 prototype armor sets, plus some utility gear and cosmetics. Below is a breakdown of all the major rewards – including weapons, armor, utilities and emotes – along with their unique in-game benefits:
| Reward | Description & Unique Benefit |
|---|---|
| LAS-16 Sickle (Primary Rifle) | An automatic energy rifle that fires precise bursts of laser fire. High damage and virtually limitless ammo supply keep you in the fight longer. |
| SG-8P Punisher Plasma (Shotgun) | A modified shotgun that ejects deadly plasma rounds on impact. Its explosive spread decimates clusters of enemies with one pull of the trigger. |
| ARC-12 Blitzer (Arc Shotgun) | A prototype arc weapon that fires bolts of lightning at close range. Functions like a portable Arc Thrower, zapping multiple targets in one blast. |
| LAS-7 Dagger (Pistol) | A compact laser sidearm that emits focused beams. Perfect as a backup weapon, it pierces armor with pinpoint energy shots, akin to a mini LAS-5 Scythe. |
| G-23 Stun Grenade (Utility) | A tactical grenade that stuns all nearby enemies on detonation. Ideal for crowd control – stop a Terminid rush or halt charging Automatons in their tracks. |
| Reward | Description & Unique Benefit |
|---|---|
| EX-03 Prototype 3 Armor (Suit & Helmet) | Experimental medium armor with Electrical Conduit passive that reduces incoming arc (electric) damage by 95%. Greatly protects you from friendly fire or shock attacks. Helmet included for a complete look. |
| EX-16 Prototype 16 Armor (Suit & Helmet) | Advanced medium armor also featuring the Electrical Conduit passive (95% shock damage reduction). Stylishly fortified gear that lets you shrug off lightning strikes and keep fighting. |
| EX-00 Prototype X Armor (Suit & Helmet) | Cutting-edge light armor with Electrical Conduit passive. This high-end prototype offers superior mobility plus near-immunity to electrical damage – a rare combination exclusive to Cutting Edge. |
| Localization Confusion (Booster) | A strategic boost that increases time between enemy spawns, giving you breathing room during missions. Fewer swarms ambushing you means more freedom to complete objectives safely. |
| Victory Poses (Emotes: Head Tap, Shotgun Show, Presentable) | Three new post-mission celebratory emotes. Head Tap shows cheeky confidence after outsmarting enemies, Shotgun Show flaunts your firepower in style, and Presentable lets you dust off and pose as the triumphant Helldiver you are. These animations add personality to every victory. |
This entire package is a powerhouse for squads looking to smash through any mission with style and substance. It’s all the best of Helldivers 2 research in one.
