How many medals do you need in Helldivers 2 for all battle pass rewards

The free Helldivers Mobilise Warbond requires 2015 medals to max out while the paid Steeled Veterans Warbond needs 686 medals, for a total of 2701 medals. This deduction comes courtesy of user LeonDrummer in a Reddit post discussing the game’s progression system. 

While we have a good idea of when the next Warbond drop will be, rest assured that existing Warbonds will still be available. It’s not uncommon for games to lock you out of content you paid for so this is a good step from Arrowhead. In fact, some players have already begun saving up Super Credits for the next premium Warbond.

2701 medals may sound like a lot and that’s because it is a large amount. But you don’t have to unlock every single item in the reward passes. You only need to use up a certain number of medals to unlock the next tier in a Warband. Most of the effective weapons in the game can be unlocked early on, especially if you know how to farm Medals in Helldivers 2

The sole complaint that some players have with this system is how the medal requirements ramp up towards the end. But that’s to be expected as you get more medals from higher-difficulty operations in the game. A user in the same thread noted that ‘I’m at 1200+ and still working on the last page, have hardly dented it yet.’ Despite that, user illmindmaso praised the generous battle passes and said ‘I wish more games would adopt this form of a micro-transaction system.’

That covers how many medals you’ll need for all the Helldivers 2 battle passes. For more news, look out for the new daily orders and an update just confirmed mechs in the game.
