Master Chief Joins Super Earth In Latest Helldivers 2 Warbond

Arrowhead Game Studios released a new Helldivers 2 trailer last week that teased a crossover with Microsoft’s Halo franchise is on the way. Today, that tease has become a reality, as Helldivers 2 will be crossing over with Halo: ODST starting next week!

This is a momentous occasion in gaming, as Halo was once the Xbox brand’s premier franchise, so much so that Sony had to develop its own shooter franchise to counter it, which, sadly, didn’t go according to plan.

Now, we have the two companies collaborating, and seeing both the Xbox and PlayStation logos in one trailer is a bit surreal.

Helldivers 2 x Halo Is A Reality As A New Legendary Warbond

The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Warbond is dropping on August 26, which is also the same day when Helldivers 2 will make its Xbox Series X|S debut. Note that this is an all-new Legendary Warbond, so what better way to kick it off than with a collaboration with an old foe?

Same as with every Warbond released, this will bring new weapons, armor, and other items, but this time, with a Halo theme.

New Weapons:

• MA5C Assault Rifle
• M6C/SOCOM Pistol
• M90A Shotgun
• M7S SMG

New Armor

• A-9 Helljumper Armor Set
• A-35 Recon Armor Set

There’s also a new Feet First passive that will be featured in the armor pieces, which have the following benefits:

• Make less noise from movement
• Range when finding points of interest increased by 30%
• Immune to leg injuries

New Cosmetics

Capes

• Honored Heirloom
• Eye of the Clandestine

There will also be Halo: ODST-themed player cards, a new player title, and the Mean Green vehicle pattern for your hellpod shuttle, exosuit, and FRV.

There are a lot more items than usual, which is fitting given this is a new Legendary Warbond. For reference, the only collab we’ve seen for Helldivers 2 is with PlayStation’s Killzone franchise, so this is a major step up.

With a ton of new players joining the fight to save Super Earth next week, expect the game to hit all-time highs in concurrent players.

Thankfully, Arrowhead Game Studios doesn’t seem to have any plans to stop support anytime soon, as the studio even mentioned how they have content lined up for the next few years.
