Summary

  • Helldivers 2's latest Warbond has been announced, but fans aren't impressed by what's included.
  • While a lot of people like the cosmetic side of the armor, many are criticizing the rest of the content, calling it the "lowest value Warbond yet".
  • Arrowhead is also facing criticism over the amount of content in Warbonds now, with complaints about less stuff despite prices staying the same.

Helldivers 2 has been pretty quiet recently, with many fans waiting for what Arrowhead has been working on next. In fact, it's been so long since Helldivers 2 got a big update that Arrowhead had to make a statement on Twitter explaining that "we are cooking", and we finally got a taste of that meal with a new Warbond announced today called Masters of Ceremony.

Like usual, the Warbond has a couple of armor sets, banners, caps, emotes, and all that good stuff. Unfortunately, a lot of fans aren't very pleased with the Warbond this time around, as many are disappointed with the lack of interesting stuff in it, as well as the amount of content overall.

Helldivers 2 Fans Are Up In Arms Over "Low Value" Masters Of Ceremony Warbond

You can see a lot of the disappointment in a post by Reddit user Kittenji on the Helldivers subreddit, as people appear to be happy with the cosmetic side of the Warbond, but not much else. For example, a user called Herz-of-iron78 calls the armor's passive ability a "worse servo-assisted reskin", while Pedrosion96 calls it the "lowest value Warbond yet".

Electronic-Flower921 takes a shot at the entire Warbond system, claiming Warbonds are starting to have "less stuff each time" despite staying at the same price, with another user pointing out that the longer time to make them doesn't appear to have increased their quality as the devs promised a while ago.

A lot of people seem to think that the flag stratagem may be the saving grace of the entire Warbond, but only if it has a unique effect. If it's just a flag you can wave around and stab things with, then the disappointment could arguably worsen. Hopefully, Arrowhead's promise that we'll "s*** our pants" over this next content drop is referring to the next update, rather than this Warbond. Otherwise, Arrowhead is in trouble.
