Everything in the Helldivers 2 Freedom's Flame Warbond battle pass
Is the Freedom's Flame Warbond in HD2 worth it? Here's what you're getting
The Helldivers 2 Freedom's Flame Warbond battle pass is here adding a fiery range of weapons, armor and gear. It features a new incendiary shotgun and two flamethrower options, as well as some helpfully flame retardant armor and other goodies. So let's take a look at what's cooking (hopefully not you).
All Helldivers 2 Freedom's Flame Warbond rewards
The Freedom's Flame Warbond for Helldivers 2 has 22 rewards across the board with 300 Super Credits to be earned as well. That's all split across three pages of fire-based equipment and items, including fire-damage weapons, flame-resistant armor, heat-themed boosters and more. It also includes new vehicle skins, something that started in the Helldivers 2 Viper Commandos warbond before this one.
This is everything in the Freedom's Flame Warbond battle pass.

The star of the show here is probably the SG-451 Cookout shotgun. It's a pump action with a decent rate of fire and damage that can wreak havoc in a pack of Terminids. It's more measured firing rate balances accuracy and sustained fire well and has a decent range.
After that the both the flamethrowers are good although the Flam-66 Torcher is a little short on range. The P-72 Crisper is a good secondary if you want a flamethrower option but can't give up you ballistic primary. Both the armors are also good if there's a lot of fire about but many not essential if you're not an incendiary heavy player.
