Okay, So We Now Know 1 Weapon Coming to Helldivers 2 as Part of the Warhammer 40,000 Warbond, and I Think We Can Guess a Few Others
Sony has confirmed that Helldivers 2’s forthcoming Warhammer 40,000 crossover Warbond will be fully revealed on 30 July, with a Bolt Pistol confirmed as its first new weapon. The collaboration is significant because fans and developer Arrowhead have long viewed Warhammer 40,000’s expendable soldiers and alien warfare as a natural match for Helldivers 2.
The article suggests the Warbond may also include familiar Warhammer equipment such as a Chainsword, Lasgun and possibly a human-usable Boltgun, though these remain unconfirmed. It also speculates that armour could be inspired by Astra Militarum units including Cadian Kasrkin and Tempestus Scions; Arrowhead had previously acknowledged internal discussions about a potential crossover.
In short
- Helldivers 2’s Warhammer 40,000 Warbond is revealed fully on 30 July.
- A Bolt Pistol is the first confirmed crossover weapon.
- Other weapons and armour remain speculation.
