Helldivers 2 players, get ready to saddle up! The developers have officially announced a brand-new Warbond called Borderline Justice, bringing a cool Wild West theme to the game. Along with this exciting Warbond, a fresh game update has also been rolled out, making several gameplay improvements and fixing some annoying bugs.
The new Borderline Justice Warbond is set to release on March 20, and it adds a lot of new gear, cosmetics, and powerful weapons—all with a unique space cowboy style. Whether you’re a fan of stylish action or just love a western-themed shooter vibe, this Warbond is going to catch your attention.
What’s in the Borderline Justice Warbond?
The Borderline Justice Warbond brings a mix of fun and firepower. Here’s what players can expect:
Two New Armor Sets: Lawmaker and Frontier Marshall armors
Two New Weapons: R-6 Deadeye hunting rifle and LAS-58 Talon, a laser revolver
Two Items: The full details haven’t been revealed, but they’ll match the western theme
Cosmetics: Includes new capes, the “tip hat” emote, and a “Super Sheriff” title
Both armor sets come with a Gunslinger passive ability, which boosts reload speed for secondary weapons, reduces recoil, and makes it faster to draw or holster weapons. This makes the new gear ideal for fast-paced combat situations.
The Wild West theme in a sci-fi shooter is a fresh twist, and Helldivers 2 fans seem excited for this bold direction. You’ll feel like a true space sheriff out on a dangerous mission.
Patch 01.002.200 Brings Major Fixes and Weapon Balancing
Alongside the new Warbond, the developers also released Patch 01.002.200, which brings several important updates. This patch focuses on game balance, bug fixes, and performance improvements, especially for PC players.
Here are the main highlights:
Crash Fixes: Fixed a major issue that caused some PCs to shut down during gameplay
Connectivity Improvements: Fixed several online connection bugs and memory leak issues
Animation Fixes: Some emotes and character animations have been improved
Weapon Buffs: Around a dozen weapons have been adjusted. For example:
AR-23 Liberator and STA-52 rifles now do more damage (increased from 80 to 90)
AR-23C Liberator Concussive has a faster fire rate (now 400 instead of 320)
These changes are aimed at making gameplay smoother, more stable, and better balanced, especially in online matches where performance matters.
