Could the New Helldivers 2 ODST Crossover Be a Disappointing Waste of Your Super Credits?
You fight for Super Earth. Every day, you face down new threats in the Galactic War. Now, new tools are coming to help you in that fight. Arrowhead Game Studios is introducing a special gear set inspired by the iconic Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODST) from the Halo universe. This is a crossover many players have hoped to see.
This new gear arrives in a “Legendary Warbond.” Think of a Warbond as a battle pass. You spend in-game currency to access pages of new items that you can then unlock by earning medals during missions. This specific set, the Halo ODST Warbond, will be available in the Acquisitions Center on your ship starting August 26, 2025. It is a premium offering, and you will need 1500 Super Credits to purchase it. It is important to know that the new Premium Warbond Tokens, also releasing on that day, cannot be used to buy this particular Legendary Warbond.
The UNSC Armory: Weapons and Firepower
This Warbond gives you access to a fresh arsenal of weapons pulled directly from the Halo series. Each one offers a different way to handle threats on the battlefield. Understanding what each weapon does will help you decide if this bundle is right for your playstyle.
MA5C Assault Rifle
This is the main rifle in the collection. It is a classic, all-purpose weapon known for its reliability. It includes a digital ammo counter and a built-in compass on the weapon itself. This lets you keep your eyes on the action instead of the corner of your screen. It is a solid choice for almost any mission.
M6C/SOCOM Pistol
For missions that require a quiet approach, this pistol is your best friend. It comes with a suppressor already attached. This lets you take out smaller enemies or patrols without alerting every bug or bot in the area. It is a tactical tool for smart players.
M90A Shotgun
When you need to deal a lot of damage up close, you will want this shotgun. It delivers immense stopping power, making it perfect for clearing out bug nests or stopping a charging Automaton Hulk in its tracks. It is a powerful but situational weapon.
M7S SMG
This weapon combines the fast firing rate of a submachine gun with the quietness of a suppressor. It allows you to flank enemy groups and eliminate them with precision before they know what hit them.
ODST Armor and Tactical Cosmetics
Looking the part is half the battle. This Warbond includes full armor sets and other items to complete your ODST look. The armor is not just for show; it comes with a special passive ability called “Feet First.” This perk enhances your stealth and durability, helping you survive longer behind enemy lines.
A-9 Helljumper Armor Set
This is the classic, bulky armor that defines the ODST look. It offers great protection and makes you look like an elite soldier ready for a dangerous drop.
A-35 Recon Armor Set
This is a more streamlined and agile version of the ODST armor. It provides the same passive benefits but with a sleeker design for players who prefer a lighter appearance.
Additional Cosmetics
To fully customize your Helldiver, the Warbond also includes two capes, the “Honored Heirloom” and the “Eye of the Clandestine.” You also get new player cards, a unique in-game title, and a vehicle pattern to make your equipment match your new gear.
This crossover brings a fan-favorite style into the chaotic world of Helldivers 2. Before you spend your Super Credits, think about what is offered. You get four new weapons, two full armor sets with a unique perk, and a collection of cosmetic items. If you are a fan of the Halo aesthetic and want new tactical options for your loadout, this Legendary Warbond offers a complete and valuable package. Prepare to drop feet first into your next mission.
