Shush, Helldivers 2's Redacted Regiment warbond is all about being sneakily stealthy and silently suppressed

Be very, very quiet. I'm hunting bugs. Or so will say the folks who don the gear of Helldivers 2's next warbond. It's dubbed Redacted Regiment and it's all about looking stealthy in a tactical fashion. As opposed to simply trying to hide in a corner because you're a coward, as I've unashamedly done numerous times while serving Super Earth.

The Redacted Regiment sneaks its way into Helldivers 2

[p]The Ministry of Defense Research & Development teams have emerged from their laboratories with the latest suppression technology and spec ops fashions to bring the Helldivers a new set of gear to live out their dream of furtive expeditions on fringes of the galaxy. The Redacted Regiment Premium Warbond* will be available for acquisition on January 20th! [/p][p][/p][p]Weapons & Stratagems[/p][p]Redacted Regiment will outfit you with two primary weapons. The R-72 Censor is a mid-range precision rifle with an integrated suppressor that will ensure you’re undetectable on the battlefield. But if you need to put a few more bullets down range, you can opt for the AR-59 Suppressor, which is a fully automatic assault rifle with a non-removable suppressor.
[/p][p][/p][p]To complete your loadout for covert reconnaissance, you can equip the P-35 Re-Educator dart-firing secondary pistol. Each round releases a chemical agent that induces delirium in organic targets and delirium-like malfunction in inorganic ones.[/p][p][/p][p]If stealth isn’t your tactic, you can try to go the commando route with the B/MD C4 Pack stratagem. This backpack has six adhesive C4 charges and a wireless detonator set up for either individual or simultaneous detonation–that should let you be as strategic or destructive as you like while pushing the button from a minimum safe distance.
[/p][p][/p][p]But you might want to wage a little more unconventional warfare by diverting the enemy away from you. In that case, you’ll want the TM-01 Lure Mine, which is a throwable anti-personnel mine that will stick to surfaces and emit lights and sounds to attract nearby targets and then detonate when they’re in close proximity.[/p][p][/p][p]Armors, Capes, and More[/p][p]Redacted Regiment comes with two armors and two capes perfect for recon roleplay. You can get the look of a real operative with the RS-89 Shadow Paragon light armor–covered in multitudinous pads and pouches to hold all your tactical EDC items–or fly under the radar with the RS–67 Null Cipher medium armor that’s coated in a radar-absorbent polymer and null-signature heat baffle to turn you into a real sensor ghost. Both armors are fitted with the Reduced Signature passive, which reduces your noise level and the range at which the enemy can detect you. The enemies of Democracy will have to get real close before they can spot you.
[/p][p][/p][p]These pair perfectly with the Pillar of the Abyss and Triangulation Veil capes and player cards. You’ll also receive a new victory pose, Target Sighted, to let your squad know you’ve got your eye on the enemy.
[/p][p][/p][p]The new booster, Concealed Insertion, will equip your Hellpod with a smokescreen to deploy on impact, so your dive can be on the down low.
[/p][p]You’ll also be able to claim a new player title, \[Redacted]. Maybe you can’t share the details of your assignment, but you can let them know you’ve seen some real action.[/p][p][/p][p]Redacted Regiment is coming January 20th, Helldivers. Get ready to infiltrate and perform a surgical strike–they’ll never see you coming.
[/p][p][/p][p]*Requires base game, paid purchase of Super Credits, and game progression to unlock.[/p]

«Адские десантники будут гибнуть»: Глава Arrowhead Game Studios намекнул на будущие обновления Helldivers 2

Генеральный директор Arrowhead Game Studios Шамс Джорджани провёл сессию вопросов и ответов с сообществом в Discord, где поделился крупицами информации о будущем кооперативного шутера Helldivers 2.

Turns out you have Helldivers 2 to thank for Arc Raiders moving away from a free-to-play model


A few years ago, it would have been pretty easy to imagine Helldivers 2 releasing as a free-to-play game. It is a live service game after all, most of those are free-to-play because studios want to reduce the barrier to entry. Instead, it launched as a paid-for, $40 game, a far cry from free, but not the $80-$100 releases we're seeing more and more of. And it's because Arrowhead made the decision to do so that Arc Raiders developer Embark did the exact same thing for their own shooter.
