Helldivers 2: New Dust Devils Warbond - Full Item Test and Tier List
This video tests all the weapons, stratagems, and grenades included in Helldivers 2's new Dust Devil Warbond and analyzes the performance and usage of each item. It provides in-depth evaluations of the AR-2 Coyote, EAT-700 Disposable Napalm, S-11 Spear Gun, MS-11 Solo Silo, Desert Stormer Armor, and G-7 Pineapple Grenade, and assesses the impact of each item on gameplay and the overall value of the Warbond.
1. 🔥 AR-2 Coyote: The Best Assault Rifle Using Incendiary Rounds?
- ✅ The AR-2 Coyote is an assault rifle that uses incendiary rounds to quickly apply burn effects to enemies.
- ✅ It can burn and kill most enemies in one shot, including Hunters, Wilbur, Pouncers, and Warriors.
- ✅ It has a magazine capacity of 45 rounds and a damage of 75, providing medium penetration.
- ✅ It can kill Glow Hunters and Glow Warriors in one shot.
- ✅ Overseers can be set on fire with 3 shots and killed with two burn cycles.
- ✅ It reduces ammo consumption compared to other ARs, and you can set multiple enemies on fire and alternate attacks.
- ✅ You can customize muzzle, bottom rail, and optic attachments.
- ✅ The burn effect is effective against Combat Titans and Meat Bobs because it deals damage proportional to the enemy's HP.
- ⚠️ Hive Lords are not affected by the burn effect.
- ✅ It is effective against bugs and Illuminate, especially for killing Jantars with damage over time effects.
- ✅ I couldn't fully test it against Automatons because there is no scope, but it performed well at difficulty 7 where there are few Rocket Striders and many Scout Striders.
| Enemy | How to Kill |
|---|---|
| Hunter | 1 shot (burn) |
| Wilbur | 1 shot (burn) |
| Pouncer | 1 shot (burn) |
| Warrior | 1 shot (burn) |
| Glow Hunter | 1 shot |
| Glow Warrior | 1 shot |
| Overseer | 3 shots (2 burn cycles) |

2. 🔥 EAT-700 Disposable Napalm: Burn Enemies with a Pocket Napalm Bombing!
- ✅ The EAT-700 Disposable Napalm is a pocket napalm bombing that drops two rockets that fire napalm.
- ✅ The rockets are fired similarly to the EAT-17, but the physical effects are slightly different.
- ✅ You can coat the ground with napalm to burn a wide area.
- ✅ You can kill a Flying Bile Titan in two shots.
- ✅ It has an armor pin level of 7, making it useful for killing large enemies.
- ✅ You can kill a Meat Bob in one shot (on direct hit).
- ✅ The direct damage to Hulks is not impressive, but it can scatter fragments to inflict burn damage.
- ✅ It is effective to use from high ground to spread flames over a wide area.
- ✅ It is not effective at shooting down dropships, but you can use the fragmentation pattern to attack enemies on the ground.
| Enemy | How to Kill |
|---|---|
| Flying Bile Titan | 2 shots |
| Meat Bob | 1 shot (direct hit) |
04:17 - 05:29
3. 🧪 S-11 Spear Gun: Weapon with Gas Grenade Effect and Powerful Stagger
- ✅ The S-11 Spear Gun fires a harpoon that deals 650 damage and emits a gas grenade effect upon contact.
- ✅ 12 additional gas grenades can be used at long or short range.
- ✅ It has medium armor penetration, allowing it to penetrate and kill the Hulk's visor.
- ✅ It is similar to a weak railgun, but provides additional crowd control capabilities.
- ✅ Gas can be used to remove Rupture Strains from the ground.
- ✅ It has very powerful stagger.
- ✅ It can stop the Bile Titan's attack or temporarily stop the Meat Bob's charge.
- ✅ It can cause the Dragon Roach's attack to miss.
- ✅ If your teammate has an anti-tank weapon, it is best not to attack while stopping the attack.
- ✅ I hope it will be improved to allow changing ammo with gas, smoke, and incendiary rounds.
| Enemy | Effect |
|---|---|
| Bile Titan | Attack Interrupted |
| Meat Bob | Charge Temporarily Suspended |
| Dragon Roach | Attack Missed |

4. 💥 MS-11 Solo Silo: Launch a 500kg Bomb from a Distance!
- ✅ The MS-11 Solo Silo is a stratagem that allows you to launch a 500kg bomb from a distance.
- ✅ Hitting the top of a Factory Strider can destroy it in one shot.
- ✅ You can destroy bunker mission objectives in one shot (all 4 objectives at maximum difficulty).
- ✅ You can destroy the entire Shakira Hotel Nest at once (if all 3 are close together).
- ✅ You can destroy Spore Spewers from a distance.
- ✅ You can destroy Illuminate Dropships.
- ⚠️ Airborne dropships cannot be destroyed.
- ✅ The blast radius is the same as a normal 500kg bomb.
- ✅ The demolition strength is 10 lower than a 500kg bomb.
- ⚠️ Detector Towers, Stratagem Jammers, and Science Buildings cannot be destroyed.
- ✅ The cooldown is somewhat long.
- ✅ It is easily destroyed by small attacks.
- ✅ You must put down your support weapon to pick up the silo's targeting device.
- ✅ There is a lot of shaking when aiming, so you need to lie down and shoot stably.
- ⚠️ There is almost no scope (about 5m zoom).
- ✅ Providing 50m or 100m zoom would make it easy to destroy Factory Shot Convoys.
| Target | Effect |
|---|---|
| Factory Strider | Destroyed in 1 shot (when hitting the top) |
| Bunker Mission Objective | Destroyed in 1 shot (maximum difficulty) |
| Shakira Hotel Nest | Total Destruction (if close together) |
| Spore Spewer | Remote Destruction |
| Illuminate Dropship | Destruction (if on the ground) |

5. 🛡️ Desert Stormer Armor: Fire, Gas, Acid, and Electrical Resistance and Increased Throwing Distance
- ✅ Desert Stormer Armor provides 40% resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electrical damage.
- ✅ Throwing distance is increased by 20%.
- ✅ It is similar to the armor you can get in Killzone, but with slightly reduced values.
- ✅ I hope we can choose perks directly in the future.
- ✅ Heavy armor is the best.
- ✅ Medium armor is also good.
- ✅ Super Store armor has a good design, but I don't like the color.
- ✅ The banner and cape are cool.
- ✅ The vehicle skin is also great.
07:55 - 08:37
6. 🍍 G-7 Pineapple Grenade: The Worst Grenade?
- ⚠️ The G-7 Pineapple Grenade is one of the worst items in the game.
- ⚠️ The name is funny and the appearance is cool, but the performance is very poor.
- ⚠️ I tried throwing it in the air to scatter the fragments, but it didn't work.
- ⚠️ It only worked on Boatless when thrown on the ground.
- ⚠️ Using a gas grenade is much more effective.
- ⚠️ It has light damage, light penetration, and 300 damage.
- ⚠️ The cluster radius is said to be large, but it is not in reality.
08:38 - 09:33
7. 🎉 Raiders Cheer and Final Evaluation: Is Dust Devil Warbond S Tier?
- ✅ Raiders Cheer seems to be inspired by Star Wars.
- ✅ Warbond is good overall, but it's hard to say it's S tier.
- ✅ The value of Warbond varies greatly depending on the performance of the AR-2 Coyote.
- ✅ The AR-2 Coyote is very powerful and will be even better with attachments.
- ⚠️ The G-7 Pineapple Grenade lowers the value of Warbond.
- ✅ The S-11 Spear Gun has excellent utility and can be used in combination with fire and gas.
- ✅ Many people will like the EAT-700 Disposable Napalm.
- ✅ The MS-11 Solo Silo needs improvement.
