Hell hasn't frozen over but the latest Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbond is finally here. And with this new Warbond come some cool new Primary Weapons, Secondary Weapons, and Grenades – as well as some snazzy new armor. Keep reading to find out which of these rank among the best.

Ranking the best Weapons and Grenades in Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbond

Make sure you have a good amount of Medals to spend on weapons after unlocking this Premium Warbond for 1,000 Super Credits. And the good news is that, despite some community outcry, this Warbond brings some solid new weapons to play around with. Also, keep in mind that most other weapons in the game have recently been nerfed. So without further ado, here begins our list of the top five Weapons and Grenades in Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbond.

5. SMG-72 Pummeler Submachine Gun

Despite its small size, the SMG-72 Pummeler Submachine Gun still packs a punch. Its concussive rounds are a huge perk too, slowing down enemies in their path and even stun-locking larger enemies. Above all else, it is incredibly light and mobile thanks to it being a one-handed weapon. Don't sleep on this one.

4. P-113 Verdict Pistol

Those familiar with the Senator sidearm will find comfort in the powerful new P-113 Verdict Pistol. It deals a little less damage than the Senator, but the upside is that it can hold up to 10 shots per magazine. It also doesn't hurt that this pistol is a real looker. I have a feeling it'll be popular among Helldivers who want to show off their style.

3. PLAS-101 Purifier

This PLAS-101 Purifier might seem a little polarizing (no pun intended) if you're checking the Helldivers 2 subreddit, but it still shouldn't be overlooked. Think of it as a mini version of the Quasar, as it has the same hold-and-shoot mechanic and is also an Energy-based weapon releasing explosive bursts of energy. Well-placed shots against armored and unarmored enemies will produce some big results.

2. AR-61 Tenderizer Assault Rifle

The Helldivers community has been saying that the AR-61 Tenderizer Assault Rifle is a heavier version of the Liberator assault rifle. And they're right: while sporting a smaller clip size (35 as opposed to 45), this rifle hands out a lot more damage than the Liberator. If you're more about landing accurate shots than spraying bullets everywhere, then this gun is for you.

1. G-13 Incendiary Impact Grenade

Coming in first place is the G-13 Incendiary Impact Grenade. This bad boy brings together the fast throw of the Impact Grenade with the enemy-clearing capabilities of the Incendiary Grenade, resulting in both a fiery and explosive package. No Terminid swarm or Bug Holes/Fabricators will be able to survive this grenade's onslaught. Fire in the hole, indeed.

Do Armor Sets give perks in Helldivers 2 Polar Patriots Warbond?

While the new Armor sets in the Polar Patriots Warbond certainly look sharp and sleek – they, unfortunately, offer no new Armor Perks for equipping the full set. So players hoping for some new Armor Perks since the Cutting Edge Warbond are out of luck here. Thankfully, the new weapons and items highlighted above are sure to come in handy in some sticky situations. Only time will tell how the meta develops around them and how the community reacts.
