Here’s the TL;DR...

When Does the Helldivers 2 Python Commandos Warbond Release?
The Python Commandos Warbond deploys globally on December 2, hitting all Super Destroyers simultaneously. According to Arrowhead Game Studios, this drop was fast-tracked “by order of the Ministry of Defense” after record engagement in November.
No delays are expected, and the official trailer teases venomous jungle missions dripping with new stratagem tech. Expect immediate rollout across PS5, PC, and Xbox, continuing Helldivers 2’s seamless cross-platform cadence.
What Weapons Are Included in the Python Commandos Warbond?
Players finally get the long-requested M-1000 Maxigun—a belt-fed monster firing sustained streams of liberty at 4,000 rounds per minute. As Arrowhead put it: “Thousands of requests from squad commanders made this a priority.”
Also included:
AX/FLAM-75 “Guard Dog” Hot Dog Drone: Deploys autonomous flamethrower coverage, circling allies before docking to reload.
CQC-9 Defoliation Tool: Doubles as a vegetation-clearing power blade and close-quarters cleaver.
AR/GL-21 One-Two: A combo rifle and grenade launcher with heavy recoil but devastating precision.
Together, they redefine support and suppression loadouts—making every mission feel like a classic Super Earth recruitment ad.
Which Armor Sets Come With the Python Commandos Warbond?
Two new armors balance agility and brute strength:
RS-20 Constrictor (Light Armor): Designed for the League of Patriotic Arm Wrestlers, offering max mobility with exposed arms and swagger to match.
RS-40 Best of Prey (Heavy Armor): Inspired by legendary Helldiver Ronald Mambo, this set emphasizes raw endurance.
Both include the Rock Solid passive, reducing stagger and knockback during explosions—keeping operators upright while the battlefield burns.
What Customization Options Does the Warbond Offer?
Customization leans hard into stealth and style:
Capes: Foe Rent Asunder (battle-torn) and Mark of the Constrictor headline the lineup.
Camo: Chameleon Pattern conceals your exosuit, hellpod, and shuttle in dense terrain.
Emote: Front-Leaning Rest Position (push-ups on command).
Title: Python Commando—for squads that slither and strike.
These additions double down on the jungle commando fantasy while syncing with previous Warbonds’ cosmetic systems.
How Much Does the Helldivers 2 Python Commandos Warbond Cost?
The Warbond costs 1000 Super Credits in the in-game Acquisition Center, with optional credit bundles available for purchase. Players can still earn free Warbond items through medallion progression, though Premium unlocks grant immediate access.
No subscription or pass is required beyond the base game. All gear remains cosmetic and tactical only, upholding Helldivers 2’s fair-play philosophy.
Arrowhead’s announcement sealed it best:
“Prepare to deliver the venom of Liberty straight into the heart of chaos.”
