Yep, that new CE-27 Ground Breaker armor released as part of the latestHelldivers 2Warbond really was meant to have a different passive installed, and the devs at Arrowhead are already working on a fix to make things right.
“Regarding the CE-27 Ground Breaker armor, we’re aware of a slight mixup that resulted in it going live with the Servo-Assisted passive instead of the Engineering Kit passive as advertised,” community manager Spitz says in aDiscordannouncement. “This should be changed back in an upcoming hotfix - please keep this in mind if this armor is one of the reasons you’re thinking of purchasing the new warbond!”
TheHelldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbondwas advertised to include the Ground Breaker armor with the Engineering Kit passive, which reduces recoil when crouching or prone by 30% and increases initial inventory and holding capacity of grenades by two. Players were pretty confused with what felt like asudden bait and switch, but it looks like everything’s getting resolved quick enough.
Except, of course, for those who got the Warbond specifically for Servo-Assisted. “I already bought the new Warbond and have been enjoying the armor with servo-assisted, though,” as Reddit userBaracuta90writes. “Please give us some way of swapping armor passives so that we can wear the look we want with the abilities we want!”
That desire to split passives from armor is anincreasinglycommonsentiment, and the fact that Ground Breaker’s passive ended upactuallybeing interchangeable like this is certainly helping that sentiment build. This latest Warbond has been getting a mixed response across the board, withdeveloper polls showing that players overwhelmingly agreeing that it could use some improvements- especially to thatrifle that’s so unbelievably bad it almost feels like the Automatons are telling us to use it.
