Helldivers 2 and Halo join forces in a historic collaboration for Xbox Series

The launch of Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series, scheduled for August 26, will mark a turning point in the history of video games. The official collaboration with the Halo saga will allow players to access the Legendary Warbond Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST, a special bundle featuring weapons, armor, and cosmetic items based on the iconic Helljumpers.

This integration is not only a nostalgic nod for Halo fans, but also expands the gameplay possibilities of Helldivers 2, consolidating a crossover that few could have imagined possible.

Innovations in weaponry and gameplay

The Legendary Warbond features four iconic Halo weapons, redesigned to fit the satirical and military style of Helldivers 2.

• MA5C Assault Rifle, reliable and with its classic ammo counter.
• M6C/SOCOM, the game's first pistol with a suppressor, ideal for stealth strategies.
• M90A Shotgun, equipped with a flashlight for combat in critical conditions.
• M7S Submachine Gun, with caseless ammunition and a built-in suppressor.

These weapons not only preserve Halo's essence, but also introduce new dynamics that refresh gameplay for both veterans and newcomers alike.

Exclusive armor and abilities

The collaboration also includes two armor sets:

• A-9 Helljumper, which pays tribute to the legendary ODST.
• A-35 Recon, focused on infiltration and mobility.

Both feature the passive ability Feet First, which reduces walking noise, increases detection of points of interest, and protects against leg injuries.

The bundle is complemented by exclusive capes —Honored Heirloom and Eye of the Clandestine— as well as titles, custom cards, and a vehicle design in the iconic Mean Green color.

Pricing, access, and availability

The Legendary Warbond will be available at the Helldivers 2 Acquisitions Center starting August 26, coinciding with the Xbox Series debut. Unlocking the content will require an investment of 1,500 Super Credits, which can be earned through gameplay or direct purchase.

One detail to keep in mind is that this Warbond will not be compatible with the new Premium Warbond Tokens, so players will need to plan their acquisition strategy in advance.

A response to the community's clamor

The union of Helldivers 2 and Halo is a response to a longstanding request from the gaming community, which will finally see this alliance between two iconic military science fiction universes come to fruition.

With its arrival on Xbox Series, the game will expand its user base and promote cross-platform interoperability, offering an experience that reinforces the collaborative spirit of both sagas.
