<p class="">Packed with high-voltage vibes, Cutting Edge gives you the chance to enhance your loadout of liberty with ultra-futuristic armour, guns that spit lightning, super stylish capes and epic emotes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Super Earth R&amp;D experiments</h2>
<p class="">Helldivers… we need your help. The brainiacs in Super Earth Research &amp; Development have some cool experimental armor ready to be field-tested. This is where you come in, you’re just the right people for the job.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The EX Series Prototypes</h2>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>EX-03 Prototype 3</strong></h3>
<p class="">Includes a rubber underlayer for insulation. Handy, really, as this prototype’s wires operate at a shocking 400,000 volts.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>EX-16 Prototype 16</strong></h3>
<p class="">Warning: Electric arc generates a strong magnetic field. Avoid use while near stapled paperwork.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>EX-00 Prototype X</strong></h3>
<p class="">The end result of several billion Super Credits and 12 years of research into creating “the Soldier of Tomorrow”. Show us it was worth it.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Expanded arsenal</strong></h2>
<p class="">R&amp;D didn’t stop at armor, though. They’re also rolling out a new series of alien-splitting weapons with electrifying perks!</p>
<a href="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53568807735_f216629b0b_h.jpg" rel="noopener" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53568807735_f216629b0b_h.jpg"/></a>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>LAS-16 Sickle</strong></h3>
<p class="">A sweet laser rifle that fires in short bursts. And it doesn’t need reloading. Just watch for overheating or shove a new heatsink in there.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>SG-8P Punisher Plasma</strong></h3>
<p class="">Exploding plasma rounds sound deadly… because they are, to aliens and allies! This modified Punisher shotgun is as fun as it is fearsome.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>ARC-12 Blitzer</strong></h3>
<p class="">Project an arc of close-range lightning. Good for taking out multiple targets and giving you more time to pick a celebration emote.</p>
<p class="">And you can unlock a new stun grenade, the G-23 Stun, and the LAS-7 Dagger pistol.</p>

<p class="">I know what I’ll be doing… equipping the LAS-7 Dagger <em>AND </em>LAS-16 Sickle at the same time, turning my Helldiver into a real live wire and melting the foes of Managed Democracy on sight.</p>
<p class="">But we’ve got to do this with a touch of style, right? Get creative and accessorize your armor sets with three new capes, featuring matching colors and designs.</p>
<p class="">My favorite is the Botslayer: a light tan cape that will no doubt look great soaked in Automaton oil.</p>
<p class="">There are even matching player cards for each cape, as well as three new emotes.</p>
<p class="">Cutting Edge is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel March 14, soldiers.</p>
<p class="">Get ready to spill some oil in style. Prepare for deployment.</p>
