ThePolar Patriots Warbondhas made its way to Helldivers 2 but its disappointing release is urging players to plead with developers to make less of them to maintain the quality of Warbonds.
Warbondsare monthly content drops in Helldivers 2. The community has historically appreciated them, as they keep the game fresh with newweaponsandarmor. However, things have taken a U-turn with May’s Warbond as its reception among players has been largely negative.
While players appreciate that Arrowhead wants to keep the content coming, they also expect devs to maintain the quality of Warbonds. As one user on aReddit threadsaid: “If this is the quality for “monthly” warbonds, they need to be less frequent.”.
Some players think Helldivers 2 devs have missed an opportunity with the name Polar Patriots to introduce “some form of cryo ammo” which would give “guns a chance to slow enemies or give the armor the ability to see through blizzards.”
This comes from a point where the previousDemocratic Detonation Warbondwas fire-themed and consisted of Thermite Grenades. “There should have been cooling armor that reduces fire damage,” said a player.
According to them, the weapon could’ve been “better” than the R-36 Eruptor as it needs to be charged up, leaving it mostly “unusable.” They went on to say the weapons don’t feel likeprimary weaponsas the “stats are hilariously low” for the AR-61 Tenderizer.
