Super Earth R&D experiments
Helldivers… we need your help. The brainiacs in Super Earth Research & Development have some cool experimental armor ready to be field-tested. This is where you come in, you're just the right people for the job.
The EX Series Prototypes
EX-03 Prototype 3
Includes a rubber underlayer for insulation. Handy, really, as this prototype's wires operate at a shocking 400,000 volts.
EX-16 Prototype 16
Warning: Electric arc generates a strong magnetic field. Avoid use while near stapled paperwork.
EX-00 Prototype X
The end result of several billion Super Credits and 12 years of research into creating "the Soldier of Tomorrow". Show us it was worth it.
Expanded arsenal
R&D didn't stop at armor, though. They're also rolling out a new series of alien-splitting weapons with electrifying perks!
LAS-16 Sickle
A sweet laser rifle that fires in short bursts. And it doesn't need reloading. Just watch for overheating or shove a new heatsink in there.
SG-8P Punisher Plasma
Exploding plasma rounds sound deadly… because they are, to aliens and allies! This modified Punisher shotgun is as fun as it is fearsome.
ARC-12 Blitzer
Project an arc of close-range lightning, or charge it up to fire off powerful bolts. Good for taking out multiple targets and giving you more time to pick a celebration emote.
And you can unlock a new stun grenade, the G-23 Stun, and the LAS-7 Dagger pistol.
I know what I'll be doing… equipping the LAS-7 Dagger
AND LAS-16 Sickle at the same time, turning my Helldiver into a real live wire and melting the foes of Managed Democracy on sight.
But we've got to do this with a touch of style, right? Get creative and accessorize your armor sets with three new capes, featuring matching colors and designs.
My favorite is the Botslayer: a light tan cape that will no doubt look great soaked in Automaton oil.
