Democracy continues to spread across the galaxy thanks to yet more new content dropping in Helldivers 2. Have a seat at the Dive Bar and let us regale you with war stories about what’s new and exciting in the “Democratic Detonation” Warbond, which arrives just in time for the return of those damned Automatons. We run down some of the new ordinance, including the BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle, the R-36 Eruptor Rifle, the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow and the piping hot Thermite Grenade.

Fleet Admiral Jada Griffin has some recommended stratagems to help do your part.
