In just a few days,Helldivers 2will bring players a brand-new Warbond, and it’s promising a fun variety of exciting features. Set to launch on July 17, the Control Group Warbond is adding fresh armor, weapons, stratagems, and more toHelldivers 2, but there is one standout item on the list.
The LIFT-182 Warp Pack is an intriguing addition tothe Control Group Warbondlineup that promises players a game-changing way to dodge and traverse the map. This stratagem uses Dark Fluid to create a wormhole that players can use to teleport short distances. As exciting as this stratagem is, though, there is a huge downside that is incredibly on brand forHelldivers 2: potential death.
Helldivers 2’s LIFT-182 Warp Pack Can Only Be Used a Handful of Times
In the official announcement of the Warbond on PlayStation’s blog, it states, “users should bear in mind that the wormhole cannot maintain integrity for extended periods–each jump will further destabilize it, and the wearer may experience death should the singularity fully collapse.” That definitely throws a wrench in the stratagem’s potential, but it also is a hilarious way to lean intoHelldivers 2’s special brand of humor.The Control Group Warbond is all about testing unstable alien tech, so the high risk of using such items comes with the territory.
Helldivers Will Be Gambling With Every Use
For those who are hoping to use the LIFT-182 Warp Pack as a way to dart across the map, they may want to think twice. Even just using the stratagem a few times in succession could prove to be catastrophic. For the most part, it seems like the LIFT-182 Warp Pack is better suited for quick, last-minute dodges when there’s absolutely no other option. Developer Arrowhead Game Studios is always looking for ways toenhance the difficulty ofHelldivers 2, and adding a teleportation pack that could kill a player after using it enough definitely adds a hilarious level of chance to the equation.
It was recently announced thatHelldivers 2will finally be coming to Xbox Series X/S on August 26.
Every Other Feature Included in the Control Group Warbond
In addition to the LIFT-182’s significant downside, the VG-70 Variable can cause harm to players after offloading its remaining ammunition. Also, the A/LAS-98 Laser Sentry can explode if it overheats. Overall, the Control Group Warbond bringsmore chaos to theHelldivers 2battlefieldthan anything, and it can either prove to be a lot of fun for players or incredibly frustrating.
The wearer may experience death should the singularity fully collapse.
As of now, there are no plans forHelldivers 2to come to Game Pass.
The Control Group Warbond May Only Be Suited for a Specific Type of Player
For the Helldivers who love putting their lives in the hands ofthe Federation of Super Earthfor the sake of research, Control Group may be a rewarding Warbond. However, for players who are more interested in practical stratagems, Control Group could prove to be more of a headache than anything.
Using many of the items included in Control Group requires a delicate balancing act that can be incredibly difficult to achieve whenfighting off the Illuminateon the battlefield. It’s a matter of taste, but for those who are in the mood for some serious risk, trying out the LIFT-182 Warp Pack could be the perfect stratagem to shake things up.
