The Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond expands the Super Earth arsenal with several explosive options for bringing the boom. In this Warbond,Helldivers 2players can spend their hard-earned Medals on four new weapons, a thermite grenade, and a new Booster that shaves some time off extractions. There are also three sets of bulky, bomb-proof (not actually bomb-proof) armor to unlock and dress your heroic Helldiver in. If you want to know more about the Democratic Detonation Warbond, I’ve explained what’s inside and whether it’s worth it.

There are 24 items available in the Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond split across three pages. Like with other Warbonds, you’ll need varying amounts of Medals to unlock each item, but each subsequent page is locked off until you spend the required Medals. Here are all the explosive additions in Democratic Detonation:

= 90 Medals

= 247 Medals(337 Medals total)

= 362 Medals(699 Medals total)

You can of course earnHelldivers 2 Super Creditsas you play the game, so you can buy this Warbond for free, but you can also buy exactly 1,000 Super Credits for $9.99 / £7.99 in the Super Store.

Now that we’ve had some time to put the Democratic Detonation Warbond weapons and other gear through their paces, we can conclude that this is definitely a Warbond worth considering if you’re after some explosive weapons.

The Adjudicatorwasterrible but has been buffed and is now a solid assault rifle with medium armor penetration, though it’s not perfect. If you’ve been look for a good long-range primary weapon to use, the Eruptor is an excellent choice, delivery explosive power from afar. It has its drawbacks, but it can fit nicely into some of thebest Helldivers 2 loadouts. The Grenade Pistol is a personal favourite of mine, pairing incredibly well with the Sickle – it’s easily one of thebest Helldivers 2 weaponsfor your secondary slot. Overall, these top weapons are best suited to the matching the ranged firepower of theHelldivers 2 Automatons.

However, Democratic Detonation is a little disappointing in other regards. The armor sets are far from being thebest armor in Helldivers 2as they don’t offer anything interesting or new, and the Thermite grenade and Exploding Crossbow are very underwhelming.

Obviously, every Warbond is going to be a mixed bag, and there’s still some good stuff in Democratic Detonation to look forward to. If you’re really into the idea of using explosive weaponry, then this is a must-have Warbond, If not, then you may want to considerHelldivers 2 Cutting Edgefor its very different energy-based weapons, orHelldivers 2 Steeled Veterans, which features a varied selection of firearms.© GamesRadar+.
