Helldivers 2 players are buzzing with excitement due to the addition of a sword in the latest update. Arrowhead’s CEO, Shams Jorjani, humorously remarked that the new feature would make players ‘shit their pants.’ This cheeky comment was made via a Discord message, resulting in a flurry of memes across social media.

The upcoming Warbond, set for release on May 15, will feature not just the sword but also new sets, weapons, and emotes. Here’s a quick overview of the notable additions:

• Parade Commander and Honorary Guard sets
• R-2 Amendment bayonet rifle
• The CQC-1 flag stratagem, which seems to serve a decorative purpose
• A Sample Scanner booster for easier sample collection
• The G-142 Grenade, which promises a fiery explosion

This update is the second melee weapon introduced to the game, leading to some debate about its practicality amidst the chaos of battle. Players are divided; while some are thrilled about the sword, others express skepticism regarding its effectiveness.

As they await this update, players have humorously commented on social media, with one asking to ‘defecate in my trousers, and my life is yours.’ Jorjani responded with a light-hearted ‘Chill,’ reflecting the jovial atmosphere surrounding the game’s community. With prior Warbonds generating excitement, the anticipation remains high for what’s to come in Helldivers 2.
