Everything in the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond and is it worth it?

The Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond offers weapons and armor from Halo 3: ODST, kitting out Helldivers with classic Helljumper gear. If you buy the Warbond, you can get your hands on the ODSTs' signature silenced SMG and magnum pistol and even the Halo 3 assault rifle and shotgun for some more typical loud and punchy Helldivers 2 firepower. There's even armor that lets you prowl the battlefield and cosplay as Rookie and Dare.

This Halo crossover Warbond is also the first "Legendary Warbond", which basically means it includes extra-fancy gear but also costs a lot more than usual. So, to help you see exactly what you get with your hard earned Super Credits, here's everything you can unlock in Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond and whether it's worth getting.

Is the Helldivers 2 Halo ODST Warbond worth getting?

Overall, I'd say the ODST Warbond is one to scavenge and save Super Credits for as it's not worth rushing to buy unless you're a big Halo fan or like stealth approaches to missions – it's not bad but it doesn't place on our list of the best Helldivers 2 Warbonds. While the Assault Rifle and Shotgun are solid primary weapons that work against a range of enemy types and in plenty of loadouts, getting the most out of the SMG, pistol, and Feet First armor passive requires a sneaky playstyle. Bear in mind that all of these weapons do not benefit from Helldivers 2 weapon customization either!

However, arguably the worst aspect of the Warbond is the price. At 1,500 Super Credits, it's the most expensive and there are no unlockable Super Credits within to recoup some of the costs, unlike other premium Warbonds. The upside is that it's one of the cheapest in terms of Medals. Unlocking everything costs less than 650 Medals in total and less than 450 Medals if you're focusing on just the guns and armor.

All Helldivers 2 Halo ODST Warbond rewards

The Halo crossover Warbond marks the release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox and features 17 unique items – four iconic Halo 3: ODST weapons, two armor sets, and nine cosmetics. Here's a full list of everything you can unlock in the Halo Warbond and how many Medals you'll be spending to unlock it all:

• PAGE 1
  • Weapons:
    • MA5C Assault Rifle (35 Medals): The classic Halo assault rifle from Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST with good accuracy, medium armor penetration, and 32-round magazines. It also comes with the digital ammo display and compass!
  • Armor:
    • A-9 Helljumper armor (45 Medals): Standard ODST armor reminiscent of the Rookie's in Halo 3: ODST. The armor comes with the Feet First passive, which makes you 50% quieter when moving, immune to leg injuries, and increases your point-of-interest discovery range by 30% for better recon.
    • A-9 Helljumper helmet (30 Medals)
  • Cosmetics:
    • Honored Heirloom Cape (8 Medals)
    • Honored Heirloom Player Card (2 Medals)
    • Mean Green Hellpod Pattern (20 Medals)
• TOTAL PAGE COST = 140 Medals

• PAGE 2 (Spend 135 Medals to unlock)
  • Weapons:
    • M7S SMG (50 Medals): This is the silenced SMG made famous by Halo 3: ODST. It has a 48-round magazine and suppressor as in the game but can be used one-handed in Helldivers 2.
  • Armor:
    • A-35 Recon armor (55 Medals): Special ODST armor worn by Dare in Halo 3: ODST. The armor also comes with the Feet First passive.
    • A-35 Recon helmet (45 Medals)

    • Eye of the Clandestine Cape (25 Medals)
    • Eye of the Clandestine Player Card (7 Medals)
    • Mean Green Shuttle Pattern (50 Medals)
• TOTAL PAGE COST = 232 Medals

• PAGE 3 (Spend 280 Medals to unlock)
  • Weapons:
    • M90A Shotgun (65 Medals): The M90A is Halo 3's punchy but slow-firing pump-action shotgun and those traits carry over into Helldivers 2 as each shot is very powerful. However, it has only light armor penetration, so will likely be best against fleshy Terminids and Illuminate, similar to the Flood.
    • M6C/SOCOM Pistol (75 Medals): The signature ODST sidearm, the silenced magnum pistol isn't the most powerful but has the added bonuses of being quiet thanks to its integrated suppressor and can be wielded with one hand.
  • Cosmetics:
    • Rookie Title (20 Medals)
    • Mean Green FRV Pattern (55 Medals)
    • Mean Green Exosuit Pattern (50 Medals)
• TOTAL PAGE COST = 265 Medals
• TOTAL COST OF ALL HALO ODST REWARDS = 637 Medals

How to get the Helldivers 2 Halo Warbond

The Helldivers 2 Halo crossover Warbond is available now in the Superstore, costing 1,500 Helldivers 2 Super Credits – that's 50% more than any of the other premium Warbonds.

For Super Citizen edition owners, it's also worth mentioning that you can't use your Premium Warbond Token to unlock Legendary Warbonds, so that includes this one and any future Legendary Warbonds that get released.

The Helldivers 2 Control Group Warbond has some much better gear in my opinion, so maybe focus on this one instead. Otherwise, if you're more of a Judge Dredd fan over Master Chief, the Helldivers 2 Force of Law Warbond might be worth checking out.
