Arrowead Game Studios has detailed Helldivers 2’s latest Premium Warbond. It’s called Freedom’s Flame and promises new fire-themed armaments and other treats when it launches alongside the bug-splattering, bot-bothering live-service shooter’s previously announced “biggest ever update” next Tuesday, 6th August.

“Incinerate everything standing in your path with new weaponry almost too hot to handle,” Arrowhead exclaims on the PlayStation Blog. “Survive the heat of battle with lifesaving armour; and burn brightly across the cosmos with fresh emotes, capes, and skins.”

If it’s specifics you want though, Freedom’s Flame includes the SG-451 Cookout as a new primary weapon capable of unleashing a “burst of incendiary phosphorus pellets” at enemies. It also features the FLAM-66 Torcher lightweight flamethrower as a second primary.

This is your friendly reminder that Microsoft is set to close its Xbox 360 digital store on 29th July – that’s next Monday – so you have just a few days left to make the most of those last discounts on some of the best Xbox 360 games of the generation.
