PlayStation Blog Reveals New Details

In Helldivers 2, teaming up with friends to purge the galaxy of alien scum is only half the battle. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios knows that sometimes the real threat is what you can't see, which is why they are adding a lethal new element to the fight: chemical warfare.

Deadly New Threat: Chemical Agents

The Chemical Agents Warbond update is introducing a range of deadly new chemical agents to Helldivers 2. These agents come in various forms, each with unique effects that can cripple your squad. From blinding smoke grenades to toxic gas clouds, Helldivers will need to adapt their strategies on the fly to survive these deadly new threats.

Some chemical agents cause disorientation and confusion, making it harder to navigate the battlefield. Others deal direct damage over time, forcing Helldivers to find cover or risk being overwhelmed. To combat these new threats, players will have access to new equipment, like gas masks and decontamination showers.

Variety of Agents

The Chemical Agents Warbond update will feature a variety of chemical agents, each with different effects. Some of the agents include:

• VX Gas - A nerve agent that causes paralysis and death.
• Mustard Gas - A blistering agent that causes severe burns and respiratory problems.
• Sarin Gas - A nerve agent that causes convulsions, paralysis, and death.
• Chlorine Gas - A choking agent that causes coughing, difficulty breathing, and death.
• Phosgene Gas - A choking agent that causes severe lung damage and death.

Protective Measures

To protect themselves from these deadly agents, Helldivers will need to use new equipment, like gas masks and decontamination showers. Gas masks will filter out toxic fumes, while decontamination showers will remove any chemical agents that have come into contact with a Helldiver's suit.

The Chemical Agents Warbond update is a significant addition to Helldivers 2, adding a new layer of challenge and strategy to the game. Players will need to be prepared to face these deadly new threats if they want to succeed in their mission to purge the galaxy of alien scum.
