Arrowhead Game Studios has officially announced the first-ever Legendary Warbond for Helldivers 2, and it’s a crossover fans have been demanding for years. The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond goes live on August 26, 2025, at 5 AM PT / 1 PM BST, bringing iconic weapons, armor, and cosmetics inspired by Halo’s legendary Orbital Drop Shock Troopers—better known as the Helljumpers.
This marks a new premium tier for Warbonds and introduces a full arsenal of gear designed to pay homage to one of gaming’s most beloved special forces units.
New Weapons in the ODST Warbond
The Legendary Warbond delivers four new weapons straight out of ODST’s arsenal, giving Helldivers a mix of firepower and stealth options:
- MA5C Assault Rifle – Reliable and battle-tested, complete with an ammo counter and compass for on-field navigation.
- M6C/SOCOM Pistol – A suppressed sidearm with laser sight and flashlight, introducing stealth gameplay to Helldivers 2 for the first time.
- M90A Shotgun – A devastating close-range weapon with a mounted flashlight for hostile encounters in dark environments.
- M7S SMG – Lightweight, silenced, and firing caseless ammo, making it ideal for covert operations.
ODST-Themed Armor Sets
Two armor sets celebrate the revered Helljumpers, each with unique design and gameplay benefits:
- A-9 Helljumper Armor – Inspired by the classic ODST look, providing the Feet First passive trait.
- A-35 Recon Armor – Sleeker, stealth-oriented gear modeled after covert operatives, also featuring the Feet First passive.
Feet First Passive Bonuses:
- Reduced movement noise
- +30% detection range for points of interest
- Immunity to leg injuries
New Capes, Patterns & Cosmetics
Players will also get exclusive cosmetics to complete the ODST experience:
- Honored Heirloom Cape – Bearing the ODST insignia, symbolizing ultimate sacrifice.
- Eye of the Clandestine Cape – A stealth-inspired look for covert defenders of Managed Democracy.
On top of that, the bundle includes ODST-themed player cards, a new player title, and the “Mean Green” vehicle skin pattern to customize hellpods, shuttles, exosuits, and more.
Price, Tokens & Availability
The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond launches for 1500 Super Credits in the Acquisitions Center. Unlike standard Premium Warbonds, Legendary Warbonds will not be compatible with the new Premium Warbond Tokens releasing the same day, so players need to ensure they have Super Credits ready before deployment.
A Historic Crossover for Helldivers 2
This collaboration has been one of the most requested crossovers by the Helldivers community, combining the fast-paced cooperative gameplay of Helldivers 2 with the iconic style of Halo’s elite ODST unit. With its blend of nostalgia, new gameplay mechanics, and high-value rewards, the Legendary Warbond looks set to become a must-have for committed defenders of Managed Democracy.
Squad up, drop in, and embrace the ODST way when the Legendary Warbond lands on August 26.
