2026 has been a pretty big year for Helldivers II so far, with the live-service PlayStation Studios title receiving a number of substantial updates including but not limited to a massive game file size decrease for PC players, the announcement of a film adaptation and the unveiling of Helldivers II’s first proper roadmap. Alongside these larger sweeping changes, the team have kept the game fresh with a suite of new DLCs on a regular basis – the latest Warbond of which will add a bunch of mechs and exo-suits.

Taking to the PlayStation Blog to make the announcement, Arrowhead Game Studios officially detailed the next Warbond coming to Helldivers II. Officially landing on the 28th of April, the Exo Experts Warbond is focusing on expanding the player’s arsenal of mechs while also including a suite of additional weapons:

• EXO-51 Lumberer (Exosuit equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower)
• EXO-55 Breakthrough (Exosuit equipped with a flak cannon and a ballistics shield)
• MGX-42 Bullet Storm (Disposable machine gun with 24 barrels)
• SMG-203 Gallant (Submachine gun with a high fire rate)
• P-33 Missile Pistol (Uses guided, heat-propelled rounds and a lock-on feature)

As always, the Exo Experts Warbond also features a ton of ancillary additions, including new armours; capes; camos; emotes and more – with the most gameplay-altering addition being the Oxygenator armour passive, allowing for faster walk, run and slide speeds.

The Exo Expert Warbond officially arrives on the 28th of April, and as always can be obtained using Super Credits (which can either be purchased or earned in-game).

While Arrowhead Game Studios have been pretty ‘on it’ when it comes to updating Helldivers II with new additions on a consistent basis, the team have never shared a proper roadmap, instead focusing on dropping surprise updates with relatively little heads-up. That said, in a first for Arrowhead, the team have released a comprehensive ‘content roadmap’ covering everything planned to be released “over the next several months.”

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, the team at Arrowhead wrote: “Citizens of Super Earth,

For the first time since launch, we’re ready to share a clearer view of the battles ahead. Our fight for liberty continues to grow, and with each new front comes more opportunities to spread Managed Democracy across the galaxy.”

With that, the team have given players a look at the next 4 updates. Said to be arriving “over the next several months” the full list of announced additions is as follows:

• Major Update 6.0
  • New Biome (Mega Factories)
  • New Vehicle (Bastion Tank)
  • New Limited-time event
  • New Enemies (Cyborgs and Vox Engine)
  • New Missions

• Update 6.1
  • New Enemies
  • New Galactic War Campaigns
  • New Mission
• Update 6.2
  • 2 New Biomes
  • New Galactic War Campaigns
  • New Enemy Variant
• Update 6.3
  • New Biome
  • New Galactic War Campaigns

Of course, each of these updates will also introduce a new Warbond to acquire as well as general quality-of-life improvements / balance changes.

Helldivers II has received a ton of support ever since the game’s release. That said, some past updates have been met with backlash from fans and so hopefully having a longer-term roadmap will allow for greater levels of communication between Arrowhead and their community.

Arrowhead Game Studios have been keeping Helldivers II feeling fresh thanks to semi-regular in-game updates and events alongside a consistent cadence of Warbond releases. With regards to the latter, the team have now unveiled their WWI themed ‘Entrenched Division’ Premium Warbond – introducing new takes on classic weaponry, the ‘entrenchment tool’ shovel and more.

Available to purchase for the standard price of 1000 Super Credits (the resources for which can of course be obtained for free through gameplay), the Entrenched Division Warbond is officially arriving on the 17th of March.

As mentioned, this release is themed around WWI; with weapons, items and more inspired by the trench warfare of 100 years ago.

Like always, the Warbond features a mixture of weapons; strategems; cosmetics and more, including:

• B/FLAM-80 Cremator Flamethrower (strategem)
• A/GM-17 Gas Mortar Sentry (strategem)
• SMG/FLAM-34 Stoker (submachine gun)
• P-69 Veto (pistol)
• CQC-73 Entrenchment Tool (shovel)
• G-48 Giga Grenade (throwable)
• CPG-48 Sapper (medium armour)
• CPH-26 Commandant (light armour)

While Arrowhead need to make sure to maintain a balance between all of Helldivers’ continuously added content, it is exciting to see new weapons; armours; stratagems and other potentially game-changing features being added on a consistent basis.
