Helldivers 2 builders Arrowhead have revealed the brand new gear that’ll be arriving within the sport with its subsequent warbond on June 12, and there is an armour set that appears impressed by one other franchise excessive on authoritarian satire, Decide Dredd.
Actually, I am shocked it is taken that lengthy for one of many warbonds – which as loads of individuals have identified usually quantity to giving gamers a technique to look even more fascisty than you do by default in Helldivers 2 – to dip into one thing Dredd-ish.
As you may see in the direction of the top of the trailer above, this armour set – dubbed the BP-77 Grand Juror – will turn out 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 Force of Law 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, when you spend your Tremendous Credit on the warbond, you will get the same old little assortment of contemporary stuff multi functional bundle. There are two armours – the medium BP-20 Right Officer set and lightweight BP-32 Jackboot set, the previous of which appears to have drawn some visible cues from Robocop with the form of its helmet’s visor, doubtlessly ticking one more beloved satire box.
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 principally a gun taped to a drone that follows you round and makes certain an enemy would not lay down the legislation in your bottom when you’re distracted by some Tremendous doughnuts.
As a few of the of us on Reddit who’re making an attempt infer an extra bit of story from Arrowhead’s warbond deployment have identified, it is arguably a bit bizarre to get navy police gear simply because the Galactic Conflict’s moved away from Super Earth’s streets. However hey, it is an opportunity to shout that you are the legislation as you are taking down some bots.
