Guys, Path of Exile 2 Patch 0.5.3 now brings us even better Grand Expedition benefits. There's no need to hesitate; using Logbook to start your Grand Expedition journey will definitely bring you more amazing benefits than ever before. So how should we farm Grand Expedition in PoE 2 with an already increased gain? Can the gain be even greater? Grand Expedition Gameplay To start a Grand Expedition, you begin with Ruins of Kingsmarch. However, you need to complete a simple quest chain first. The quests will guide you through learning how to place Logbooks and how to navigate and explore the map. The areas marked with spiked vortex-like markers on the map are Grand Expeditions we should farm. Don't get confused, the circular blank markers you see are on regular, standard maps. Don't waste your farming time on these circular blank markers, as they won't give you any advantages. When you prepare to set sail, you'll see a small boat displaying Island Rumors, giving you a preview of the upcoming Grand Expedition content, such as whether a boss will appear. To actually start a Grand Expedition, you'll need to consume a Logbook. Grand Expedition Farming Strategy If you're new to PoE 2 endgame content, you can start with Ruins of Kingsmarch questline to gradually master the basics of Grand Expedition. Next, to maximize the benefits of your Grand Expedition, there are three things you should know and prepare in advance. First: Tablet Selection Our most crucial step is to acquire three Tablets that grant the map additional random affixes. The specific type of tablet is not important; whether it's a Delirium Tablet or any other type, we only need the extra random affix attribute, not the tablet's inherent league mechanism. The principle behind this is that the more map affixes, the richer the loot drops, including increased rewards from chests opened in Grand Expeditions. Ten is the maximum number of islands that can be used on a single Tablet, while a Logbook can typically only reveal about five islands. Therefore, one Tablet is sufficient to cover Grand Expedition requirements of two Logbooks. PoE 2 currency cost per Tablet is spread across three or four Grand Expeditions, making it highly cost-effective. Second: Logbook and Saga Selection A regular Logbook costs about one Divine Orb, but if you're aiming for maximum rewards, Aldur's Saga is highly recommended as it significantly improves the quality of loot drops in Grand Expeditions. When Divine Orbs are limited, you can choose a regular Saga, but the rewards will be more conservative. Third: Masters of the Atlas Of course, Jado is the preferred choice. I recommend completing Jado's Spycraft and unlocking passive skills that enhance Tablet effects, give runes a 10% chance to be rerolled an extra time while retaining the rarest result, increase the number of rare chests, and grant Corrupted Waystones additional random affixes. Results and Benefits An important finding is that the number of islands seems to be determined by the number of rumors. If you see three rumors, you can usually get four or five islands; if you only see one or two rumors, the number of islands will be significantly reduced. Therefore, if a Logbook has very few rumors, it's not worth investing in expensive PoE2 currency Sagas, as too few islands will severely limit your Grand Expedition earnings. Another point worth noting is that each Grand Expedition will always drop at least one Aldur's Saga or better. Your first Logbook might drop an Aldur's Saga, instantly recouping the cost of the next Logbook and turning all subsequent earnings into pure profit. Through testing, we found that using five Logbooks might result in three dropping Aldur's Saga, a fairly high drop rate. Furthermore, Divine Orbs you invest will be far less than Divine Orbs you receive from the final Grand Expedition. The net profit from five Logbooks can even exceed 300 Divine Orbs, and with more precise execution, this number could be even higher. High-Value Drops and Strategy Recommendations Rare chests are one of the core sources of profit in Path of Exile 2 Grand Expedition, so when you see Very Rare Unique or Rare Unique prompts in Grand Expedition, be sure to open them as soon as possible. These chests may yield equipment and items worth over a dozen Divine Orbs. The recommended strategy is to first explore all runes and click on them all, checking the reward options offered at each location. Select the most valuable ones first, then clear them out one by one. When assessing the value of a rune, check it on your phone first before prioritizing. Additionally, Moor of Fallen Skies deserves our special attention. This is a separate island offering a complete list of rewards, including Astrid's Creativity, Serle's Triumph, and other high-value items. Ultimately, our ultimate goal is still the 10-slot rune, which provides a permanent 5% increase in Maximum Mana and Life, along with other benefits we don't normally receive. Sounds tempting, right? By the way, IGGM Facebook PoE 2 Group has been set up, we can join and participate in occasional lucky draws! If you're willing to take the risk for the reward, try this strategy for Path of Exile 2 Grand Expedition!

June is fast approaching to end, yet Helldivers 2 & Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond, announced over a month ago, still lacks a confirmed release date. Fortunately, information regarding some of the included items appears to have leaked! Helldivers 2 Warbonds typically feature weapons, armor, capes, and various cosmetic items; the recent leaks focus primarily on weapons and armor. However, their final forms won't be confirmed until the new Warbond actually launches. Below, we introduce the leaked content and speculate on what the full Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond might look like. New armor sets The three leaked armor sets maintain the full-body coverage characteristic of Helldivers 2 armor and feature a light brownish-gray color palette. This likely brings to mind the new biome introduced in 6.3.0 update released on June 17. That biome features an autumn forest theme, characterized by an overall brown color scheme. Consequently, the new armor from Warhammer 40K Warbond will probably prove highly effective in this environment. Based on this, the design of the first armor set's torso appears inspired by motorsport, resembling Formula 1 racing gear more than traditional space marine armor. This suggests the set might prioritize mobility bonuses over raw defensive capabilities. The second armor set resembles motocross gear. While it looks bulkier and sturdier than the first set, the styling of the torso and helmet seems somewhat mismatched, hinting that the helmet might offer a unique or indispensable function. The final set is arguably the most soldier-like of the three new Helldivers 2 armor options. Interestingly, its helmet (possibly named KDM-500 Outrider) evokes Fallout aesthetics due to the small gas ventilation unit on the front. Overall, while their color schemes confirm that these three armor sets belong to the same Helldivers 2 Legendary Warbond, each possesses distinct characteristics, suggesting they will probably serve different roles in the future. So, if you want to be fully prepared to tackle the new challenges introduced by Warhammer 40K Warbond, why not buy Helldivers 2 Super Credits on IGGM now so you can unlock it the moment it goes live? New boosters In Helldivers 2, boosters are items that can be added to your loadout to provide extra benefits; the right combination of boosters can significantly enhance your gear's performance. Among the boosters expected to arrive with the new Warbond, the first is Integrated Extinguisher. This system integrates with your armor to provide an automatic, rapid-response fire suppression capability that hugs your body. It drastically reduces the time needed to self-extinguish flames, eliminating the need for that frantic drop and roll maneuver. According to leaks, the second booster is likely called Kinetic Displacement Mitigation. It offers 50% resistance to fire damage, a 50% chance to avoid severe limb injury, and a 30% reduction in damage taken from collision impacts. New weapons The first new Helldivers 2 weapon to debut is LA-22 Shear. This is a high-torque laser rifle; its beam can penetrate enemy light armor and deal thermal damage. The second is P-41 Ombudsman pistol, which appears to be a modified version of Senator revolver. It is a one-handed weapon featuring a round-by-round reloading mechanism and the ability to penetrate heavy armor. The third leaked piece of gear is R-4 Hyena. This is a heavy, large-caliber marksman rifle. It balances accuracy and stopping power while offering medium armor penetration, and it utilizes highly lethal incendiary rounds. Moving on from firearms, let's look at special consumables like G-8 Emulation. This is an incendiary device that shatters upon impact, creating a localized, persistent burning zone. You'll notice that the new boosters and weapons primarily focus on dealing or resisting fire damage, making this the clear central theme of the new Warbond. When will the new Warbond launch? Helldivers 2 previously indicated that a new Warbond might arrive via update 6.3.0, so we predict Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond will launch alongside that update. However, that turned out not to be the case. Fortunately, most of the other promised features were implemented in update 6.3.0; unfortunately, the new Warbond seems as distant as ever. Yet, considering it has been nearly two months since the last Warbond launched, perhaps a new Helldivers 2 Warbond is just around the corner? Update 6.3.0 was released last Tuesday, so Helldivers 2 might well reveal more information about the new Warbond this Tuesday. It is worth noting, however, that the leaked armor and weapons do not display obvious Warhammer 40,000 characteristics. This raises the possibility that a new Warbond is indeed imminent, but it might not be the crossover-style one we were expecting. To be honest, Warhammer 40K Warbond was first announced back in May. Although officials stated it would arrive later this year, excessive delays risk eroding both anticipation and patience. We hope Helldivers 2 releases this Warbond soon and avoids further pointless teasing, as that could easily backfire. Does a new Warbond actually improve the gameplay experience? Honestly, the value of a new Warbond depends on your personal needs and whether Helldivers 2 introduces content or changes designed to highlight the utility of the new gear. Generally speaking, however, new weapons and armor tend to hold a competitive edge upon release and certainly offer a fresh experience. If your budget allows, it is usually best to unlock the new Warbond as soon as it launches. That covers the details we have for now. As official information is released, you may need to adjust your strategies accordingly. Good luck, Helldiver!
