## Key points

- Warhammer 40,000 content arrives in Helldivers 2 on 12 August.
- The Warbond focuses on Imperial Guard-inspired weapons, armour and cosmetics.
- Its price remains unconfirmed.

## Summary

Helldivers 2 will receive a Warhammer 40,000 crossover on 12 August through the Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond. The collaboration adds Imperial Guard-inspired equipment to the co-operative shooter, a natural thematic match between two militaristic science-fiction settings centred on expendable frontline troops.

The Warbond includes a Hot-shot Marksman Rifle, Bolt Pistol, Meltamine trap, Meltagun stratagem, two armour sets, and cosmetics for vehicles, the exo suit, shuttle and helipod, plus banners, capes and a title. Arrowhead has not confirmed its price, although the previous Halo ODST Legendary Warbond cost 1,500 Super Credits; the crossover notably excludes Space Marines, while the game continues to retain a steady player base below its 458,709-player Steam peak.
