After a short delay, Helldivers 2's stealthy Redacted Regiment Warbond finally sneaks in game this week as Arrowhead confirms "we were able to resolve the issue" holding it back

Arrowhead Game Studios has announced that the Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond finally has a new release date, set for this Thursday, January 22.

Days after the stealth-focused Redacted Regiment Warbond was announced, Arrowhead confirmed that it would have to delay the Warbond going out to Super Earth's brave Helldivers due to a "key issue," which sounds like code for those bug, robot, or squid freaks sabotaging something behind the scenes. But thanks to the combined efforts of Super Earth's government and the actual game developers behind Helldivers 2, the Redacted Regiment Warbond has a new release date.

Today – on what is the Redacted Regiment Warbond's originally intended release date – Arrowhead has taken to the Helldivers 2 Twitter account to announce, "We were able to resolve the issue with Redacted Regiment and it will soon be available for release!" Arrowhead confirms that Helldivers 2 will get a new patch on Thursday, January 22, at 11am CET (2am PT / 5am ET / 10am GMT), and then the Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond will release three hours later at 2pm CET (5am PT / 8am ET / 1pm GMT).

When the Warbond releases this Thursday, you'll be able to pick it up for the usual amount of 1,000 Helldivers 2 Super Credits, and depending on how well the stealth-focused weapons are implemented, it could see itself making its way up the Helldivers 2 Warbond tier list very quickly (and quietly).

You'll have access to two new primary weapons – both fitted with suppressors – as well as a secondary dart gun that will deal damage over time to enemies. And for the peak stealth experience, you'll have access to a new C4 Pack stratagem, which will allow you to blow things up… but stealthily.
