Helldivers 2 Warhammer 40,000 Warbond launches on 12 August
Developed over time first seen 2 months ago
Helldivers 2 will receive a Warhammer 40,000 crossover Warbond on 12 August, bringing Imperial Guard-inspired equipment to Arrowhead’s co-operative shooter. The collaboration matters because it adds officially licensed Warhammer content to a game already known for its satirical, militaristic science-fiction setting.
The Warbond includes three recognisable Warhammer 40,000 weapons and two Imperial Guard armour sets. Warbonds are themed equipment packs in Helldivers 2, meaning the release will expand players’ cosmetic and gameplay options while linking two major science-fiction franchises.
- Warhammer 40,000 content arrives in Helldivers 2 on 12 August.
- The Warbond includes three weapons and two armour sets.
- It brings Imperial Guard-themed equipment to the co-operative shooter.

Helldivers 2 is a co-operative online shooter in which teams of players fight for a fictional human government called Super Earth. Developed by Swedish studio Arrowhead Game Studios, it uses an exaggerated science-fiction military style and lets players unlock weapons, armour and other equipment.
Warhammer 40,000 is a long-running tabletop game and fictional universe created by Games Workshop. It is set in a far future of constant war, with the Imperial Guard representing vast human armies that rely on soldiers, tanks and heavy weapons.
A Warbond is Helldivers 2’s name for a themed set of items that players can obtain in the game. Crossovers such as this bring elements from another series into Helldivers 2, while keeping them within its existing gameplay and progression system.
