The Helldivers 2 Exo Experts Warbond finally puts Exosuits back in the spotlight with two new variants, the Lumberer and Breakthrough. The former is a revamped relic from Helldivers 1, sporting a colossal cannon and flamethrower for easily defeating the largest and smallest foes in the Helldivers 2 galaxy. Meanwhile, the Breakthrough gets a massive shield for a bit more protection on the frontline. But that's not all as there will also be loadout weapons and armor sets to unlock, so here's a breakdown of everything we know about the gear in the Helldivers 2 Exo Experts Warbond.
Helldivers 2 Exo Experts release date and time
The Exo Experts Warbond will launch on April 28 at around 1PM UTC – that's 6AM PDT / 9AM EDT / 2PM BST. That means you'll be able to buy it from the Superstore for the usual 1,000 Helldivers 2 Super Credits from that time, though you could always use a Helldivers 2 Warbond Token if you've still got one.
Of course, you'll have to spend your Helldivers 2 Medals on all the rewards within after you've paid for the Warbond, so make sure you start saving now if you've got your eye on Exo Experts!

The Exo Experts Warbond is packed with plenty of items, including three two new loadout weapons, two new armor sets, and three new stratagems – two of which are the new Exosuits! Here's everything we know about all the items so far:
- Weapons:
- SMG-203 Gallant: A high-fire rate SMG similar to the Knight with a relatively small magazine but medium armor penetration, and it can be wielded with only one hand.
- P-33 Missile Pistol: A pistol that fires punchy lock-on missiles, though it looks like it need to be reloaded after every shot. This might be a contender for one of the best Helldivers 2 Secondary weapons.
- Stratagems:
- EXO-51 Lumberer: Returning from Helldivers 1, the Lumberer Exosuit comes equipped with an anti-tank cannon and a flamethrower for a mix of firepower that can obliterate a range of foes.
- EXO-55 Breakthrough: The Breakthrough is another Exosuit type that's focused on durability and close-range power, packing a shotgun-like flak cannon and a massive ballistics shield that can be used to bash enemies.
- MGX-42 Bullet Storm: The Bullet Storm is an expendable machine gun-like Helldivers 2 Support weapon that features many barrels and fires lots of bullets very quickly. Each Hellpod comes with two Bullet Storms.
- Armor:
- O-2 Heavy Operator armor and helmet: Heavy armor that comes with the Oxygenator armor passive, which increases your walking, running, and sliding speeds.
- O-3 Free Spirit armor and helmet: Light armor that comes with the Oxygenator armor passive.
- Cosmetics:
- Mobile White FRV, Shuttle, Exosuit, and Hellpod Pattern
- Watchful Compatriot Cape
- Free-Spirited Spangles Cape
- Watchful Compatriot Player Banner
- Free-Spirited Spangles Player Banner
