Helldivers 2’s Next Warbond Brings Space Cowboy Chaos

Right, time to dust off the Stetson and get your best Clint Eastwood squint ready because Helldivers 2 is about to get aggressively Western. The upcoming Borderline Justice warbond is less about high-tech sci-fi gadgetry and more about proving that cowboys were, in fact, the original special forces. And honestly? It looks glorious.

Let’s start with the R-6 Deadeye, a lever-action hunting rifle that’ll let you live out your frontier gunslinger fantasy—except instead of duelling bandits outside a saloon, you’re ventilating robots on a hostile alien world. It’s a weapon built for people who like their shooting with a side of dramatic flair. Fire a shot. Cock the lever. Fire again. Pure poetry.

Then we have the LAS-58 Talon, a revolver that asks, “What if we made a six-shooter… but with lasers?” Because clearly, there wasn’t enough cowboy energy in Helldivers 2 already. Quick-draw duels just got a whole lot more incinerating.

Now, if those don’t scream “space cowboy” to you, then perhaps the LIFT-860 hover pack will. This contraption lets you take to the skies like some sort of intergalactic outlaw. Practical? That’s debatable. Most enemies in this game have guns, and they love using them. But stylish? Absolutely.

Naturally, you’ll also need the right look, and Arrowhead has delivered. The GS-66 Lawmaker and GS-17 Frontier Marshal armour sets come with proper dusters and neck scarves—because nothing says “space warfare” like dressing as a 19th-century cattle rustler. And just to really sell the aesthetic, you now have the option to chuck actual dynamite at your enemies. Yes, in a game filled with futuristic explosives and orbital bombardments, someone thought, You know what this needs? A lit stick of TNT. Genius.

After a somewhat rocky launch, Helldivers 2 has finally hit its stride, and now it’s giving us what every sci-fi shooter truly needs: the ability to reenact The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly… in zero gravity. So grab your rifle, tip your hat, and remember—out here, justice isn’t just blind, it’s packing heat.
