Listen up, Helldivers, the latest in-ops tactical weapon from the engineers on Super Earth is about to be released, and if you want to defend democracy more efficiently than ever, you'll need to know where to pre-order the Helldivers 2 DualSense controller. Of course, thanks to the Terminids, Automatons, and the returning Illu🔴minate assault, supply routes are limited. Luckily, I've been deployed to the intelligence desk today to point you in the rightꦆ direction of stock.

The limited edition DualSense controller has hit both US and UK shelves now, with pre-orders live ahead of that February 6 release day. Right now, is your best bet, but I did see other retailers offering earlier alternate colorways so I'm keeping a close eye on all your favorites as well. Given the popularity of Super Earth's intergalactic peace-keeping campaigns this year, this could prove to be one of the hardest PS5 controllers to secure stock of. Astro Bot's Limited Edition 𝐆DualSense was already pretty flighty earlier in the year, after all.

Now for the bad news. The Helldivers 2 controller will set you back more than a regular DualSense controller. Racking up a price of $84.99 / £74.99, it's worth remembering that this isn't going to give you any extra functionality, as one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best PS5 controllers might. Even so, a collector's item like 💫this is always going to be a welcome addition to any setup, and with the level of detailing on the controller's face, it's easy to justify a higher price tha﷽n usual.

Recent updates

December 20, 10:02am ET - The Hellജdivers 2 DualSense is now officially available to pre-order in both the US and UK with PS Direct leading the charge this morning. Stock has held out well over the course of the day in the UK so far, but judging by how quickly the Astro Bot gamepad fell off after release, I'd still recommend getting that early order in.

✅ PlayStation Direct Store |

The new Helldivers 2 DualSense is now up for pre-order at Sony, with PS Direct listing the gamepad for that lofty $84.99 limited edition price.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Amazon |

Amazon can be slower on the uptake when it comes to Limited Edition DualSense controllers, but since it's such a massive retailer, it's always going to be on the shortlist of places to check for stock.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Walmart |

Walmart is usually second to Best Buy in terms of its pre-order stock. It can also be quite helpful in terms of navigation because the top banner when you search for a DualSense controller filters through the latest products and deals. This is one to watch for sure.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Best Buy |

Best Buy is a reliable retailer of gaming accessories like this. Right now, the link above will take you to the store's listing of regular DualSense controllers in all other colors, but we'll update you if we find a page for the Helldivers 2 Limited Edition.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:✅ PlayStation Direct |

The PlayStation Direct store already has Helldivers 2 DualSense pre-orders live and running at the regular £74.99 price point. At the time of writing everything seems to be in stock and ready to go.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Amazon |

Amazon is always going to be a reliable source of this kind of accessory, more so in the UK than in the US. If you have a Prime membership, I'd understand wanting to make the most of free shipping here. Just be fast, since it'll likely be the first place people check if PlayStation Direct isn't the only source of stock.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Argos |

Argos is our second port of call for pre-order releases like this. It always has a surprisingly reliable pool of gaming accessories, and since it's not usually the first place people check, it's a good retailer to know about.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Very |

When the Astro Bot DualSense launched, Very was actually the most reliable retailer for it in the UK, sporting lots of stock along with its healthy supply of PS5 bundles and other accessories.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:GAME |

GAME has stocked the last few Limited Edition DualSense controllers, so it could be a decent place to check this time around. If you have the retailer's Fraser's Plus Price benefits, you could even save yourself some money.

Should you buy the Helldivers 2 Limited Edition DualSense controller?

The Helldivers Edition of the DualSense controller isn't going to make you any better at extinguishing the forces that threaten Super Earth's democracy, at least in a technical sense. On the other hand, literally holding onto freedom in the form of an inspiring controller like this might just unlock a✨n extra level of patriotism in your heart.

There is some beautiful design work on this version of the PS5's controller, with the Helldivers color scheme coming through o🍌n the grips. Th꧃ere's texture too thanks to the worn look that your favorite armour will have after a few too many Terminid encounters. Next to the D-pad, you can see some Stratagem arrows, and the labels next to the face buttons harken back to the official Starfield controller for Xbox.

It's also not been that common for us to see black variants of the DualSense. When the PS5 launched, people really felt like the classic black options were missing from Sony's hardware lineup, and a limited edition that isn't going to age quickly (like the Astro Bot version might), will be a welcome addition for anyone who likes darker accessories. It's a shame that these Limited Edition options don't come with designs for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DualSense Edge, however.

Hardware Editor

One of my earliest memories is playing SuperMario64 and wondering why the controller I held had three grips, but I only had 🏅two hands. Ever since I've been in love with video games and their technology. After graduating from Edinburgh Napier University with a degree in Journalism, I contributed to the Scottish Games Network and completed an Editorial Internship at Expert Reviews. Over the last decade, I’ve been managing my own about my love of games too. These days, I'm one of the resident hardware nerds at GamesRadar+, and I take the lead on our coverage of gaming PCs, VR, controllers, gaming chairs, and content creation gear. Now, I better stop myself here before I get talking about my favourite games like HUNT: Showdown, Dishonored, and Towerfall Ascension.
