Helldivers 2 getting exosuit-centric The Exo Experts warbond next week with new mechs and guns
Helldivers 2 is getting its most exosuit-focused premium warbond yet. The “Exo Experts” warbond, launching April 28th, marks a significant shift for the live-service shooter by introducing two new exosuit stratagems—a first for Helldivers 2’s premium warbonds. Previously, exosuits and vehicles had not appeared in the battle pass offerings.
The EXO-51 Lumberer serves as an all-round offensive tool, equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower for versatile combat. The EXO-55 Breakthrough takes a defensive approach, featuring a large flak cannon paired with a ballistics shield, allowing it to protect teammates while still dealing significant damage.
Alongside the exosuits, the warbond introduces the MGX-42 Bullet Storm, a powerful new machine gun. One of the mechs is a returning unit from the original Helldivers game, adding a nostalgic element to the new content.
As is typical for Helldivers 2, the warbond requires premium currency to unlock, though developer Arrowhead Studios has maintained the player-friendly approach where premium currency can be earned through gameplay. Additionally, warbonds in Helldivers 2 remain available permanently rather than rotating out seasonally, reducing time pressure on players to complete them.
This update continues Helldivers 2’s strong post-launch content pipeline, providing new strategic options for players to tackle the game’s cooperative missions.
