After leaking some aspects of Destiny 2: The Final Shape back 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:in May and then leaking a new Helldivers 2 Stratagem 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:in June, Sony is keeping the streak going with another apparent Helldivers 2 update leak. Oops!&nᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚbsp;

The spoiler took by surprise: a PlayStation notification nominally about the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 Viper Commandos Warbond inadvertently informed them that an unreleased premium Warbond called Freedom's Flame will include "fiery weapons, life-saving armor, cool capes, fresh emotes, player cards, and patterns." The cape detail seems especially relevant given the last update on Helldivers 2's '൲review bomb' cape, which is very real and waiting in the wings. 

"Dial up the temperature to cremate our enemies of justice, Helldivers!" sa🔴ys the notification. "The Freedom's Flame Premium Warbond is deploying to your Destroyer's Acquisitions panel." Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has neither announced the Freedom's Flame Warbond nor publicly acknowledged the leak. 

This leak seems to be older than Sony's blunder, anyway. In June, shared the contents of what appears to be the same Freedom's Flame Warbond, full of distinctively "fiery" file names like "Torcher," "Crisper," and "FLAM-66." Players seem eager to get their tan on, with many hoping for t🥃ruly fire-resistant armor as well as more weapons weapons to sit alongside the flamethrower. 

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:As recently as July 4, Arrowh𝔍ead ♓said there was "no new Warbond yet," reaffirming its commitment to slow the rewards down and focus on update quality over quantity. But if this leak is accurate, we may see this fiery Warbond relatively soon. 

Sony, Helldivers 2's publisher and IP holder, has already made this summer difficult for Arrowhead. It went through 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a confusing mandate that forced players to link their 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:PlayStation Network Accounts to PC before this was la꧃ter reversed, which resulted in vicious on Steam. 

There's more to come either way — the Helldivers 2 CEO promises "our intent is to add more stuff for long term progression," and he's turning to the community for ideas.
