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.

Xbox owners in the US will be able to play and purchase games directly from the Xbox App on Android from November.
The change follows the ongoing legal battle between Epic Games and Google. Earlier this week a US judge ruled Google runs a monopoly via its smartphone app store, meaning third-party storefront apps must now be made available from the Google Play Store.
This has opened the door for Microsoft, meaning players can now purchase Xbox games on Android devices and then immediately stream them through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
