The Helldivers 2 Viper Commandos Warbond is here and it’s the first redesigned offering based on player feedback. Arrowhead have said that going forward they will focus on quality over quantity, meaning that Warbonds will spawn less frequently and contain fewer items overall, but there will be stronger thematic connections between items and more impact.
This is the fifth premium entry for Helldivers 2 and Viper Commandos has a jungle theme so expect a lot of camouflage. Potential highlights include the SG-22 Bushwhacker triple-barrel shotgun, which can be carried as a secondary weapon in close-quarters engagements, and the K-2 throwing knife, which you can turn to in an ammo emergency. How it all stacks up against Helldivers 2’s best warbond remains to be seen, but if you want to know more, here’s the full content list for the Viper Commandos Warbond in Helldivers 2, along with details on how to get it and what it costs.
All rewards in Helldivers 2 Viper Commandos Warbond
Unlike previous entries such as Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbond, Viper Commandos Warbond now features a slightly limited set of 22 different rewards that players unlock by spending medals. These include a new primary and secondary weapon, several new armor sets for jungle creep, new tools like the throwing knife, and much more. I’ve laid out all the rewards below on the Warbond pages, along with the cost of each medal, so you can plan which ones to focus on first.
