| Helldivers in Redacted Regiment gear emphasize stealth, suppression, and tactical positioning in the new Premium Warbond. |
Helldivers 2 is getting a new Premium Warbond later this month, and this one’s clearly aimed at players who like controlling the chaos instead of sprinting into it. The Redacted Regiment Warbond launches January 20, with gear that leans into stealth, misdirection, and “hit first, disappear fast” tactics.
Helldivers has never really been about subtlety, which is why a Warbond built around traps and setup stands out. It still fits the game, but it gives squads another way to approach objectives.
New Weapons and Stratagems for Stealth or Sabotage
Redacted Regiment comes with two new primary weapons built around suppression. The R-72 Censor is a mid-range precision rifle with an integrated suppressor, and it sounds like the pick when you want clean shots without instantly dragging a patrol onto your position. If you’d rather keep pressure up, the AR-59 Suppressor is a fully automatic rifle with a non-removable suppressor, which feels like the “quiet but still aggressive” option.
For secondaries, the P-35 Re-Educator fires chemical darts that can mess with organic targets and cause delirium-like malfunction in inorganic enemies. In practice, this reads like a disruption tool more than a pure damage sidearm, which is exactly the kind of thing that can save a mission when your plan starts to fall apart.
If stealth isn’t the vibe, the Warbond also adds the B/MD C4 Pack stratagem. You get six adhesive charges and a wireless detonator, with the option to pop them individually or all at once. That’s the kind of utility that can turn objectives into quick in-and-out jobs, especially if your squad likes setting ambushes instead of getting pinned down.
There’s also the TM-01 Lure Mine, a throwable device that sticks to surfaces and emits lights and sounds to attract nearby targets before detonating. If it works the way it reads, it’s basically a “pull the problem over there” button, which is always useful when you’re trying to move through a crowded area without getting boxed in.

Recon Armour, Capes, and Bonus Rewards
The Warbond includes two armour sets designed for covert play:
- RS-89 Shadow Paragon (light armour) with a padded, pouch-heavy operative look
- RS-67 Null Cipher (medium armour) with radar-absorbent coating and heat-baffling tech
Both armour sets come with the Reduced Signature passive, which reduces your noise level and shortens the range where enemies can detect you. That’s the key detail here, because it’s not just cosmetics. If you’ve ever wished you could actually play recon without everything turning into a full-on brawl in seconds, this passive might end up being the real reason people chase the Warbond.
Cosmetics include the Pillar of the Abyss and Triangulation Veil capes and matching player cards, plus a new victory pose, Target Sighted, to lean into the whole spec ops theme.
You’re also getting a new booster, Concealed Insertion, which equips your Hellpod with a smokescreen that deploys on impact. That one stands out immediately because it affects the most vulnerable moment of every drop: landing. If you’ve ever been deleted before you even get your bearings, you already know why smoke on touchdown matters.
And yes, there’s a new player title: [Redacted]. It’s silly in the best way, and it fits the theme.

Release Date and Requirement
The Redacted Regiment Premium Warbond launches January 20. It requires the base game, Super Credits (paid currency), and in-game progression to unlock its contents.
If you’re the type who likes stealthy objective play, trap setups, or just having more tools to control enemy attention, this looks like one of the more practical Warbond drops so far. We’ll see how it feels once players start stress-testing it in real missions.
