Helldivers 2's next Warbond has been unveiled, and like all those that came before it, it follows a theme. Chemical Agents will allow for the deployment of various kinds of noxious gas guaranteed to eradicate all but the most entrenched Bug infestations, and apparently it works on Bots, too. Chemical Agents will be out in time for the weekend, releasing on 19th September on PC and PS5, and we'd recommend you at least crack a window.
In an interesting development, and perhaps in an effort to quell a fanbase annoyed by the constant tinkering, Chemical Agents will not include new primary weapons and instead focus on stratagems and support gear. On the PlayStation Blog, community manager Katherine Baskin explains the philosophy here: «Adding stratagem variants to Warbonds is new with Chemical Agents, but our designers felt that since gas is a crowd control tool, it made more sense to release stratagems and let Helldivers choose the primary weapons they love the most.»
Yes, but is it FUN yet?
Nothing to see here, folks

God they're really milking these Warbonds. Being honest i deleted the game not long back, haven't played for ages as fed up with the nerfs and the slow slow drip feed of new content that
