Helldivers 2's next premium Warbond comes with a reloadable, exploding hammer, but what's got fans' attention is Arrowhead's tease of a returning faction from the original game

Arrowhead Studios has released the trailer for the upcoming Helldivers 2 Siege Breakers Warbond, which will be added to the game on February 3. The soon-to-be-released premium Warbond not only includes the usual collection of new armor, weapons, and stratagems, but also could see the return of a faction from the original game.

The trailer ends with a few seconds from a "confidential incoming transmission," which is filmed from the view point of a downed diver. While it is very low in the mix, you can hear what sounds like something speaking in the Automaton language pointing to the return of the Automaton progenitors from the original Helldivers, Cyborgs.

Aside from the teaser for what fans think is the Cyborgs' return, there are a few other interesting reveals. The powerful Trident shotgun from the original game, will be returning in a new form as the upcoming Warbond's primary weapon.

The new stratagems include a belt-fed grenade launcher and a leveller, but we're most excited for the breaching hammer. This is a hammer that can be reloaded with an explosive charge, so you can make as many things as possible go boom.

There's only a week left before the Warbond drops and we are ready to take on our old but new Cyborg enemies, with our big exploding hammers.

Helldivers 2 update adds stealth missions along with changes to suppressed weapons so you can "bang bang less," and Arrowhead is finally "ready to make the slim PC build default for all"
