Helldivers 2 Freedom’s Flame release countdown: Exact start time and date

Get those combat boots back on and shine your premium armor—the Helldivers 2 Freedom’s Flame Warbond is right around the corner.

Announced July 30 on X/Twitter and PlayStation, Command has an exciting new Warbond that’ll follow its biggest update yet. August is looking jam-packed with action, redeploys, and a ton of Terminid bloodshed. But, will you be the first on the battlefield?

Here’s everything you need to know about Helldivers 2‘s upcoming Warbond: Freedom’s Flame.

Helldivers 2: Freedom’s Flame Warbond release time and date

Freedom Flame is set to release on Aug. 8 as the fourth premium Warbond since Helldivers 2‘s full release back in February 2024. Freedom’s Flame will deploy at 6am CT / 7am ET / 12pm BST / 9pm AEST. While the Viper Commandos delayed to a 9am CT release, we can expect Freedom’s Flame to drop at the usual Warbond time of 6am CT.

While Arrowhead is slowing its production of Warbonds and patches (with the last being the Viper Commandos that released back in June), the Freedom’s Flame Warbond continues the tumultuous action of fighting against the enemies in scorching temperatures. But this time, the tin men are no longer in our sights; it’s time to look at the cockroaches for a change.

The usual Warbond suspects are set to drop with new victory poses, armor, and weapons. Focused on weapons that’ll keep your hands warm in this cold, never-ending battle for freedom, this Helldivers 2 Warbond bridges the gap between standard and Stratagem weapons.

The temperature is rising in the Galactic War and the Terminids will likely file a formal complaint against Command for this new and fiery supply drop that’ll surely torch the bug holes for good.
