Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond release date, price and every new weapon
Helldivers 2 is set to roll out another Warbond for players, packed with cutting-edge tech straight from Super Earth's research department.
While Helldivers 2 wasn't exactly lacking in lethal weaponry, it's unlikely that players will be grumbling about the new additions. The battle for freedom on behalf of Super Earth continues unabated, greatly aided by the arsenal and strategems provided to Helldivers by the planet's military, a process significantly boosted by Warbonds.
These bundles of armour sets, weapons and cosmetics ensure players can wage war in style, and the latest batch of experimental tech from Super Earth's R&D department is no exception. The Control Group Warbond equips players with brand new stratagems that allow for teleportation, as well as a new emote that'll help stave off tinnitus, giving players time to prepare for the impending Helldivers 2 Xbox port.
The item bundle is rather impressive, and players are undoubtedly eager to get their hands on it after completing the Force of Law Warbond – but what exactly does it contain? And when can they start enjoying it? Here's everything you need to know.
Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond release date and price
The Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond is set to land in-game on Thursday, July 17, as unveiled in a recent blog post. It carries a price tag of 1,000 Super Credits (£7.99 / $9.99 / AU$14.95), and once purchased, it remains active indefinitely, meaning there's no deadline for unlocking its rewards.
Feel free to snap it up on launch day, but with no expiry date, you can simply grab it whenever the mood strikes and start reaping its rewards.
Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond items
The fresh batch of items is chock-full of experimental tech that may or may not prove entirely effective when deployed on the battlefield. Frankly, with this theme, Arrowhead Game Studios had the chance to offload some duds onto players, but it seems they've refrained.
Here's what you can unlock in the Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond:
It's a hefty Warbond brimming with items that embrace the high-risk-high-reward aspects of utilising weapons that might not be fully operational. Whatever gets the job done works for Super Earth. Dive in when it launches, and let's all experience a series of particularly nasty electric shocks together.

Why is Sony trying to kill the concept of the video game console?
A reader worries that Sony's plans to make more of their games multiformat will destroy the entire concept of consoles, as they follow the same path as Xbox. At this point I think it's clear that Xbox is dead. They're the biggest publishers in the West but at such a terrible cost it's almost poetic. No one's buying their hardware and no one is ever likely to again. All the famous Xbox exclusive franchises are not only about to be not exclusive but they're just one more disaster away from being dead franchises. Xbox basically doesn't exist anymore, the way it used to be. All it is, is the combination of Activision Blizzard and Bethesda. Everything else is an insignificant extra, that will probably end up being shut down in short order. It's a classic example of being careful what you wish for but disturbing because, like all rich bullies, Microsoft is now pretending that, actually, they meant to do that and rather than feel bad about turning the industry on its head they're just going to carry on and make things worse. And I'm afraid that Sony is now doing the same thing. Given Microsoft is many times their size, Sony should never have had a chance against them, if they were run by competent people. Call me naïve, but if I were Sony and I saw my long-time rival on the ropes I'd give them the old one-two and finish them off for good. As we've seen though they've done the opposite. It almost seems like they're trying to copy Microsoft, except without the infinite funds and not owning two of the biggest publishers in the world. Suddenly, Sony doesn't care for exclusives and they're embracing multiformat releases, even though that makes absolutely no sense for their business. Sure, they will make more money in the short term, but in the long term… there will be no long term if they destroy the whole concept of a video game console. If you want to play Xbox games now you've got two choices: buy a dying console that Xbox aren't even bothering to sell in some countries now or play them on PC or streaming. Microsoft make money out of this, of course, but they have no control over those formats and so they become just like any other publisher, like EA or Ubisoft. Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more. Delivered to your inbox every Saturday morning. There are two basic reasons to buy a console: the lack of fuss and bother (and generally lower price) compared to a PC and the exclusive games. I have long said that Sony releasing their exclusives on PC is a mistake because while you get some short term cash from it you're eating away at the reason anyone would buy a console in the first place. But now we hear that the August release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X/S is not going to be a one-off, that Sony wants to release more games on Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Anything to make the smallest amount of extra money now, even if it means destroying their future forever. Is Sony short of cash or something? Are their financials so bad they have to do the corporate equivalent of going to the pawn shop to make it to the end of the week? Not as far as I know, but that's what they're doing anyway. There seems no point me even complaining at this point, as not only are they obviously not going to listen to me or any other fan but it seems to late. Sony had two choices when Microsoft messed up: go all out to show how good the PlayStation 5 and its line-up of exclusives is or… just sort of roll up and die for no reason. And yes, I know the PlayStation 5 is still selling well but that's because it's the only game in town at the moment, now the Xbox Series X/S has gone to an early grave. But every year the PC becomes more and more popular and that's only going to accelerate as one of the main reasons to buy a console is removed. It's not the end of gaming or anything – third party games will be unaffected – but the sort of exclusive games that Sony used to make are going to become rarer and rarer. They already are but when they don't need them to show off their console, and act like a killer app, they'll just keep reducing the budgets and the number of them they make until they don't bother at all. More Trending In the end, Sony will become a third party publisher too and even more choice and variety will be removed from the games industry.

Surprise Helldivers 2 Xbox release announced for next month
Xbox enthusiasts are in for a treat as Helldivers 2 is set to launch on the latest consoles, and it's due to arrive incredibly soon. Contrary to popular opinion, the PS5 does indeed have games. With PS Plus recently adding Diablo 4 and all the titles announced in the Capcom Spotlight showcase coming to the console, it's difficult to continue poking fun at Sony for its lack of action, even if it's been silent on the exclusive title front for a while. There's plenty to anticipate as a PlayStation user, and for a long time, a key component in its ecosystem was Helldivers 2, consistently releasing new updates and new disasters for fighters to quell in the name of liberty for Super Earth. That's not to suggest that the quality has declined, far from it, but its prominence as a leading shooter has somewhat faded. However, this could be about to change. As part of what appears to be Microsoft's attempt to make Xbox the most extensive gaming company in the universe, it has been astonishingly revealed in the Helldivers 2 Discord that Helldivers 2 will be coming to Xbox Series X|S, after previously being exclusive to PlayStation and PC. It's a massive deal, particularly with active cross-play, and players will need to brace themselves. Prepare for lift-off, Helldivers. Introducing All Out Gaming, a dedicated gaming brand providing the best gaming news, reviews, previews, interviews and more! Make sure you don't miss out on our latest high-quality videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, where we'll be posting our latest reviews, previews, interviews, and live streams! You can also subscribe to our free All Out Gaming newsletter service. Click here to be sent all the day's biggest stories. The Xbox blog has just spilled the beans: Helldivers 2 is set to land on Xbox Series X|S on Tuesday, August 26. Eager fans can secure their copy right now with pre-orders open for both the Standard and Super Citizen Editions. In a curious twist of fate, it's dropping the same day as Gears of War Reloaded. Game director Mikael Eriksson couldn't contain his excitement: "We know gamers have been asking for this for some time and we are so excited to bring more Helldivers into our game. We have so much more in store for the future months and years – and the more players we have the more stories we can tell! The fight for Super Earth has only just begun." There's no word yet on an Xbox One version or a debut on Xbox Game Pass, suggesting these options aren't on the table at the moment. Nevertheless, the arrival of Helldivers 2 on Xbox is a significant leap, offering a warm welcome to all those potential fans who felt left out during its initial release. It's about time Xbox players got a taste of true freedom.
