The latest to join the long list of premium supplies sent down by our lord and saviors at Command is the Chemical Agents Warbond. Following the Freedom’s Flame premium Warbond on Aug. 8, only a mere month has passed since we spread fire across the battlefield. Now, we switch our attention to nerve agents, as we reclaim victory over foreign lands.

Announced Sept. 12 on X, here is everything you can expect in the Helldivers 2 Chemical Agents Warbond.

Arrowhead are moving on from the fiery blaze and onto another form of AoE damage with its toxic gas focus. Taking the spotlight are new weapons and Stratagems with chemical properties, alongside the usual capes, skins, and armor that complete this premium set.

What’s interesting about this Warbond is the need to purchase the new armor, as it provides a unique passive. This gives a resistance against the nerve agent you and other Helldivers are spraying onto the land. While helmets are available in Helldivers 2, those are older models that won’t protect you from the same fumes you’ve sprayed for the Terminid to breathe in. Therefore, you have an incentive to push for Warbond Medals and purchase the armor to accompany your new line of toxic weapons.

What makes this Warbond so different is the new Stim Pistol that gives those combat medics in the field a greater opportunity to heal their teammates, without the need for a Supply Drop or Pack. This is very different to previous Warbond weapons as it focuses more on support than bringing in high DPS weapons.
