Helldivers 2 ODST Warbond Release Date
The Helldivers 2 ODST Warbond releases on August 26, 2025—finally, the date’s here and, no, it wasn’t just a fan fever dream. One minute, you’re blasting Automatons, the next, you’re checking your calendar every few hours waiting for a drop pod full of Halo nostalgia.
The official Helldivers Alerts account posted that the Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond will be released on August 26, 2025.
I recall when rumors began circulating about an ODST crossover. Most folks shrugged it off. Legendary drops, Halo guns, shoutouts to managed democracy—it sounded too good to be real. Cue the PlayStation Blog post, the Xbox Wire, Reddit threads blowing up the moment the trailer hit. Now it’s official: this Warbond isn’t just a skin pack—it's a whole new tier, loaded for bear with gear, guns, and at least a dash of genuine cross-franchise glee.
What’s Actually in the Helldivers 2 ODST Warbond?
You get weapons, armor sets, and enough Halo-flavored style to make every bug sweat oil. This is basically the “Legendary” Warbond tier, and it includes:
Weapons:
-
MA5C Assault Rifle (with everyone’s favorite ammo counter)
-
M6C/SOCOM Pistol (suppressor for sneaky bug zapping)
-
M90A Shotgun (all brawn, all boom)
-
M7S SMG (quiet chaos, for those who prefer a more stylish bullet storm)
Armor Sets:
-
A-9 Helljumper Armor
-
A-35 Recon Armor
Throw on a cape (the Honored Heirloom, Eye of the Clandestine—choose your flavor), a few banners, a vehicle pattern, and you’re essentially the most fashionable Helldiver in the drop pod queue.
How to Get the Warbond?
To get the ODST Legendary Warbond, you won't need wild luck from RNG loot boxes, nor will you be forced to grind out daily missions for weeks — it’s refreshingly straightforward. All you need to do is:
-
Head to the Superstore (Acquisitions Center) in Helldivers 2 after the update hits.
-
Have at least 1,500 Super Credits saved up — this is a brand-new “Legendary” tier, so it's pricier than regular Warbonds, which clock in at 1,000 Super Credits.
-
Purchase it as a bundle (no buying everything piecemeal this time; Arrowhead learned a hard lesson from last year’s Killzone mishap).
Premium Warbond Tokens cannot be used to unlock the Legendary ODST Warbond. So, if you cashed in on tokens during earlier seasons, you’ll have to pony up Super Credits for ODST.
There’s no expiration on these Warbonds — so if you miss it on day one, breathe a sigh of relief; it'll stick around.
