On August 19, Arrowhead Studios and Xbox announced major news on August 26, Helldivers 2 will officially launch on Xbox Series X|S. Alongside the release on the new platform, players will receive a special gift: the legendary Halo: ODST-themed Warbond. This marks the first crossover of its kind in the game, uniting two iconic franchises.

The Legendary Warbond brings classic equipment from the Halo universe into Helldivers 2. Among the highlights are the legendary MA5C Assault Rifle with an integrated ammo counter and compass, the compact and silent M7S SMG, the powerful M90A Shotgun with a flashlight, and the iconic M6C/SOCOM Pistol equipped with a laser sight and suppressor. All of this weaponry will be instantly recognizable to ODST fans.

In addition to the arsenal, the Warbond introduces two armor sets: A-9 Helljumper and A-35 Recon. These not only give players a unique appearance but also unlock the passive ability “Feet First”, which makes movement quieter, protects legs from damage, and increases the detection radius of objects on the map. The bundle also includes two special capes — Honored Heirloom, honoring fallen heroes, and Eye of the Clandestine for those who prefer to operate from the shadows.

Customization options go even further with new ODST-themed player card designs, the unique “Rookie” title, and the “Mean Green” vehicle pattern, letting fans fully embrace the Halo atmosphere within Helldivers 2.

The Legendary Warbond costs 1500 Super Credits, which can be earned in-game or purchased separately. It’s worth noting that it does not support the new Premium Warbond Tokens, which will also arrive with the August 26 update.

Helldivers 2 has long been available on PlayStation 5 and PC, but with the Xbox release and full cross-play support, players across all platforms can now unite in the fight against the enemies of democracy. And the Halo: ODST crossover makes this moment a true celebration for fans of both franchises.
