Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond release date confirmed with wicked weapons and armor

We’ve known about Helldivers 2 coming to Xbox for awhile now, but the big surprise recently was the tease of a crossover with Halo. Fortunately, it has now been confirmed! Here you will find the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond release date along with all of the wicked ODST weapons and armor included for HD2 players.

Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond release date

The release date for the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond is August 26th. This is the same day as HD2 lands on Xbox consoles as confirmed by Microsoft.

Below is all of the weapons, armor, and more included in the Warbond:

• MA5C Assault Rifle 
  • An iconic rifle; the definition of reliable and having taken down countless aliens bent on wiping out humanity, it is time to turn its sights on enemies of Managed Democracy. It comes equipped with the convenient ammo counter and a built-in compass – let it guide you to victory.
• M7S SMG
  • Silent and deadly, with caseless ammo and a non-removable suppressor; this weapon is ready to spread Freedom to every corner of the galaxy.
• M90A Shotgun
  • This powerful shotgun carries a kick and has a handy flashlight mounted on it so you can see the fear in your enemies’ eyes before you teach them a valuable lesson about Liberty.
• M6C/SOCOM Pistol 
  • They say keep your friends close and your sidearm closer. Well, we say that. The standard-issue ODST sidearm is your silent ally in the field – equipped with a built-in laser sight, flashlight, and, for the first time in Helldivers 2, a suppressor to support stealth gameplay. Because sometimes the best way to enforce Peace is quietly…
• A-9 Helljumper 
  • Debuted during the New Mombasa Armor Show, this sleek ensemble is sure to turn heads and blow minds.
• A-35 Recon 
  • Made famous by the Ministry of Intelligence’s hide-and-seek-and-destroy champion of ’52, this armor has been improved by removing excess shoulder protection.
• Feet First Armor Passive 
  • Applied to both the above armor sets, this passive allows your Helldiver Helljumper to make less noise when moving, become immune to leg injuries, and increases the range of discovering points of interest by 30%.
• Honored Heirloom Cape 
  • Should the wearer of this cape perish at the hands of Freedom’s enemies, it is customary to pass the cape on to their bravest child during the funeral, inspiring the next generation to take up arms.
• Eye of the Clandestine Cape 
  • Those who serve Liberty from the shadows often elect to stay anonymous, moving like traceless spectres through the night. May they watch over us always.
• More! 
  • The Warbond will also include ODST-themed player cards, a new player title, “Rookie”, and new vehicle pattern in a very familiar color known as Mean Green.

On Discord, it’s confirmed that the Warbond will cost 1,500 Super Credits. It’s also noted that the Halo Warbond isn’t “compatible with the new Premium Warbond Token launching” the same day HD2 joins Xbox Series X/S.

While Halo joining Helldivers 2 is exciting enough, there are leaks of a PS5 port for the Microsoft flagship IP. Don’t forget that August 26th is also the same release date for Gears of War Reloaded joining PlayStation.
