Helldivers 2 has just announced a Wild West theme for the game with a release date for the new Warbond titled Borderline Justice, as well as a new game update. Helldivers 2 continues to add new game updates and content refreshes to keep players coming back for more.

In a Steam blog post from the developers, Helldivers 2 confirmed players will get to become space cowboys on March 20, with the new Warbond called Borderline Justice. This Warbond will introduce two armor sets, two weapons, two items, and some fun cosmetics, including new capes and an emote all coming to the game in just a couple of days.

Alongside the new Warbond release date is a balancing update, Patch 01.002.200, that has gone live, fundamentally adjusting the damage to quite a few weapons in the game, as well as some major bug fixes.

Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes & What To Expect From Borderline Justice

Players Can Get a Wild West Feeling With The New Warbond

The newest update for Helldivers 2, Patch 01.002.200, sees some much-needed bug fixes. This will include fixes to a crash that caused PC shutdowns, various connection issues, memory leaks, and even a fix to an emote animation. For balancing though, just over a dozen weapons have been adjusted, with most of them having their damage buffed. A few notable changes are the AR-23 Liberator and STA-52 Assault Rifle having their damage increased from 80 to 90, and the fire rate of the AR-23C Liberator Concussive being increased from 320 to 400.

Warbonds are permanent equipment sets that players can unlock through in-game currency or by paying directly, offering a variety of new gear and cosmetics with a theme. Borderline Justice offers a Wild West theme, with a "Super Sheriff" player title, a cheeky "tip hat" emote, and two new guns: the R6 Deadeye hunting rifle and LAS-58 Talon laser-powered revolver. The new Warbond also includes the Lawmaker and Frontier Marshall armor sets. Both of these have a new Gunslinger armor ive that increases reload speed for secondary weapons, reduces recoil, and increases the draw and holster speed.

Helldivers 2 Continues To Expand

Fun Warbond Themes Are Always Welcome, Let's Hope For More

The latest patch for Helldivers 2 has an impressive list of bug fixes and the developers have promised that more fixes are on the way. As for the new Warbond, I think Borderline Justice's space cowboy theme is pretty fun, and has the perfect vibe for fans of Cowboy Bebop and other space westerns.

Alongside continuously giving players ways to customize, the new Gunslinger ive is pretty handy - and aptly named. Hopefully, Helldivers 2 continues to bring similar themes for future Warbonds to keep us coming back for more.
