The best items in Freedom’s Flame Warbond for Helldivers 2

The Freedom’s Flame Warbond is a pyromaniac's dream, immersing players in a world of fire and destruction. From its core gameplay mechanics to the striking orange cosmetics, this Warbond is a fiery spectacle. However, unlocking its full potential requires a substantial Medal investment. To help you make the most of your hard-earned rewards, we've put together this guide.

Best Items in Freedom’s Flame Warbond

Freedom's Flame is the latest Warbond expansion for Helldivers 2, introducing a formidable arsenal of flame-based weaponry. Designed to excel against overwhelming swarms of enemies, particularly Bugs, this Warbond is a must-have for those battling on the Terminid front. With the addition of new flame-based Primary Weapons beyond the Breaker Incendiary, players can expect even more fiery options to incinerate their foes.

1. I-09 Heatseeker and honourable mention: I-102 Draconaught Armour

Cost: 18 Medals (Page 1)

Armor Rating: 50

Speed: 550

Stamina Regen: 125

Perk: Inflammable - Grants 75% fire resistance, making the wearer impervious to flames.

After persistent player requests, the Heatseeker and Draconaught Armors have finally been equipped with enhanced flame resistance. This long-awaited feature allows Helldivers to confidently explore fiery planets like Hellmire without fear of incineration.

2. P-72 Crisper

The Crisper is a new Secondary Weapon available in the Freedom's Flame Warbond for a cost of 45 Medals (found on page 3). Dealing 250 damage with a capacity of 30 rounds and recoil of 3, this Flamethrower offers medium armor penetration, incendiary properties, and a one-handed design.

Previously, utilizing a Flamethrower often necessitated sacrificing either a Primary or Support Weapon slot, particularly when facing Terminid hordes. The Crisper elegantly solves this issue by providing flamethrower capabilities in a compact Secondary Weapon, freeing up vital equipment slots for other essential weaponry.

3. Firebomb Hellpods

Cost: 60 Medals (Page 3)

Effect: Equips Hellpods with explosive incendiaries that detonate on impact, igniting nearby enemies.

Helldivers often utilize falling Hellpods as tactical weapons, targeting high-value enemies. The Firebomb Hellpods booster enhances this strategy by transforming Hellpods into explosive devices, inflicting devastating area damage upon impact. This upgrade is particularly effective against large, armored targets.

4. FLAM-66 Torcher

Cost: 40 Medals (Page 2)

Damage: 250

Capacity: 80

Recoil: 3

Perks: Medium armor penetrating, Incendiary

The Torcher is a new Primary Weapon introduced in the Freedom's Flame Warbond. This flamethrower offers a powerful anti-infantry option, excelling against swarms of Bugs. With the Torcher, players have the flexibility to equip an anti-tank Support Weapon without sacrificing a flame-based option. However, its effectiveness is limited by its relatively short range.

5. SG-451 Cookout

Cost: 20 Medals (Page 1)

Damage: 320

Capacity: 16

Recoil: 100

Fire rate: 80

Perks: Light armor penetrating, Rounds reload, Incendiary

The Cookout is a high-damage flamethrower with a similar feel to the Punisher. While it excels at eliminating single targets with its intense firepower, its effectiveness against large enemy groups is somewhat limited. To fully capitalize on its potential, consider pairing it with other flame-based weapons from the Freedom's Flame Warbond for optimal crowd control.

The effectiveness of these items can vary depending on your playstyle and the specific challenges you face. Experimentation is key to finding the perfect combination for your Helldiver.
