Helldivers 2 is already off to a great start for 2025, as the game has been given updates that have provided many great additions. One of them is the Servants of Freedom premium Warbond, containing new equipment that can be useful for dealing with the Illuminate, Terminids, and Automatons. Among the content players can obtain from it is a specific tool that has garnered attention due to its unique function. Given how special it is even among the game’s diverse list of equipment, it may be the start of an interesting direction Arrowhead Game Studios will decide to go in for future updates.
There are a lot of Warbonds for players to use their hard-earned Super Credits on in Helldivers 2, but the Servants of Freedom may be worth prioritizing over the rest due to the powerful weapons it possesses. Based on what it provides, its main focus is to help people deal absurd amounts of damage to all opposition, as seen in its purchasable tools such as the Portable Hellbomb and the Double-Edged Sickle. However, one item from the Warbond stands out even among the unique new additions: the G-50 Seeker grenade. Its concept can be seen as the most creative and even the goofiest that Helldivers 2 has done so far, and being popular among its users could lead to more weapons like it down the line.

Helldivers 2’s new Portable Hellbomb is a fascinating tool, and what it brings to the game could change support equipment for the better.
Why the G-50 Seeker Grenade Is a Creative Stand-Out in Helldivers 2
Players have likely added the Seeker grenade to their loadout builds against the Illuminate, Terminids, and Automatons. Aside from the tool being a powerful explosive object, it has qualities that make it a more fun, interesting, and perhaps even better choice:
- The G-50 Seeker acts similarly to the Guard Dog drones wherein it hovers around the player until it launches toward the nearest target it detects, acting as a layer of protection against sneaky enemies.
- Being a grenade that homes in on a target makes it great for those who lack the ability to be precise with their aim, ensuring that such a powerful tool doesn’t go to waste.
- Aside from being useful, the risk that the Seeker brings when launching itself toward a target and accidentally killing a teammate can create unforgettable or hilarious moments that other grenades cannot imitate.
Weapons in Helldivers 2, which are a lot of fun to use despite not being as good as other alternatives, are still chosen because of how much entertainment they can bring, and the G-50 Seeker can fall under that category. Even if the grenade isn’t the safest to use given its unique function, it can still bring a lot of enjoyment because of what it does, making it understandable why it attracts attention and why people choose to use it.
Why Helldivers 2 Should Continue to Add Unique Options Similar to the G-50 Seeker Grenade
The G-50 Seeker clearly stands out from all the grenades in Helldivers 2, making one wonder why it took Arrowhead Game Studios to release such a fun and interesting concept. The game could use more such tools, especially considering that its gameplay revolves around absurdity and chaos. Adding more equipment that enhances both can make for even better experiences, helping ensure the current community stays while potentially attracting others to play. Also, since Arrowhead Game Studios was able to come up with the Seeker grenade, it might mean that there could be other equipment with ridiculously fun concepts that will be brought into the game in the future. Ideas like a walking turret or a shield that parries projectiles could potentially make their way in, further cementing Helldivers 2 as a multiplayer title that stands out from the rest.
Helldivers 2 continues to be the standard for live-service games, as it continues to add content that ensures fans are happy to continue playing. The G-50 Seeker grenade is one good example, and hopefully, Arrowhead Game Studios will add more equipment with unique concepts similar to it in future updates.
