After Helldivers 2's surprise success, developer Arrowhead had to take some time to stabilize. However, now that server capacity is under control, new content has steadily been rolling out. The latest in these updates is the new Democratic Detonation Warbond, which gives players access to several new weapons, sets of armor, and even a Booster.

While these items have the potential to upset current META loadouts, the Medals used to unlock them are a precious resource. As a consequence, most players want to see what is on offer before they commit. This article delivers a comprehensive list of every item in the Democratic Detonation Warbond. For ease of reading, players will also find relevant statistics and effects organized into a table.
