If you’re looking to find out how to get Premium Warbonds in Helldivers 2, then you’ve come to the right place. Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Game Studios has taken a fairly unique approach to monetization among live service games, with two separate battle pass types. So if you’re wondering how to get the paid passes, the Premium Warbonds, that’s exactly what this guide is for.

If you’re after the best gear, then our Helldivers 2 best weapons and Helldivers 2 best armor are two guides you’ll be interested in. But for now, we’ll take a look at how to get Premium Warbonds in Helldivers 2, as well as how to unlock Premium Warbond guns.

How to get Premium Warbonds in Helldivers 2

To get Premium Warbonds in Helldivers 2, you need to purchase one of the Premium Warbonds Steeled Veterans or Cutting Edge for 1000 Super Credits. You can purchase 1000 Super Credits in-game for $9.99, which can immediately be used to purchase the pass, giving you access to the Premium Warbonds store. Super Citizens have access to this by default.

Here’s what either of the Premium Warbonds gives you in Helldivers 2:

  • Weapons (Primary, Secondary & Grenades)
  • Armor (Body Armor, Helmets and Capes)
  • Player Cards
  • Emotes
  • Boosters
  • Super Credits

However, if you don’t want to pay for in-game content, there is a way you can get Premium Warbonds for free. The regular free Warbond has 650 Super Credits available for purchase with Medals. We’ve got a guide that covers how to farm Medals fast in Helldivers 2 to achieve this. And here’s how you can earn Super Credits in Helldivers 2 without spending real-world money. Points of Interest and Bunkers that you come across during missions can potentially have resources such as ammo and samples there, but on rare occasions can also play host to some Super Credits.

Each page of the free Warbonds shop requires you to spend a certain number of Medals to unlock the next page. So in addition to purchasing the Super Credits themselves, you’ll need to buy other items such as weapons and armor to unlock more Super Credits – even if you don’t want them.

How to purchase Premium Warbond guns in Helldivers 2

Just like with the regular Warbonds, you can unlock the Premium Warbond guns by buying them with the Medals you earn through playing. And again, like with the regular Warbonds, you’ll need to spend a certain number of Medals to unlock each subsequent page of the Premium Warbonds. These weapons will let you tackle tougher difficulties that are nearly impossible without the right gear.

Here is a list of all the Premium Warbond guns that you can currently unlock in Helldivers 2:

  • P-4 Senator – 15 Medals
  • AR-23E Liberator Explosive – 20 Medals
  • SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary – 60 Medals
  • JAR-5 Dominator – 80 Medals
  • LAS-16 Sickle – 20 Medals
