The Helldivers 2 Ironclad Democracy Warbond is here, and it sees Super Earth providing its most expendab- elite soldiers with even more explosive gear. Choose to spend your hard-earned Super Credits on this Warbond and you can unlock a comparatively huge selection of gear with your Medals, including five loadout weapons, two armor sets, and two Boosters.

The weapons in this Warbond include some Helldivers 2 firsts, like an assault rifle with an underbarrrel shotgun and a primary weapon grenade launcher, so there's fresh discoveries to be made. Here's everything you need to know about the Ironclad Democracy Warbond, and whether it's any good.

Is the Helldivers 2 Ironclad Democracy Warbond worth it?

Since the Warbond has only just released at the time of writing, I've not had time to properly test everything but will update this guide accordingly. There's also the new Ironclad Democracy Superstore set too, which includes a medium armor set and the Sai energy weapon! With such a wide mix of items, there's bound to be something for everyone and it might just be up there in A or S-Tier as one of the best Helldivers 2 Warbonds to own.

Ironclad Democracy is available now, releasing in the Superstore on September 22, 2026. You can buy it for the usual 1,000 Helldivers 2 Super Credits or one Helldivers 2 Warbond Token if you have one.

It's one of the most packed Warbonds available, with 23 items to unlock. That also means unlocking everything will require you to extensively prove your bravery as you'll be spending a lot of Helldivers 2 Medals, but they'll get you a solid selection of destructive tools and two Helldivers 2 Boosters. Here's a breakdown of every item in the Warbond and its Medal cost:

  • PAGE 1
    • Weapons:
      • AR-11 Arbitrator (35 Medals): A rapid-fire assault rifle with a small-capacity underbarrel shotgun, letting you switch between two firing modes
      • G-8 Immolation (35 Medals): A Molotov-style firebomb grenade that carpets an area in fire.
    • Armor:
      • BFM-16 Tanker armor (45 Medals): Light armor equipped with the Blunt-Force Mitigation passive which provides a higher armor rating, makes you more resistant to being knocked over, and reduces damage taken from impacts and collisions by 30%.
      • BFM-16 Tanker helmet (30 Medals)
    • Cosmetics:
      • Standard of Rapid Evacuation Cape (8 Medals)
      • Standard of Rapid Evacuation Player Card (2 Medals)
      • Verdant Camouflage Tank Pattern (20 Medals)
    • 100 Super Credits (7 Medals)
  • TOTAL PAGE COST = 182 Medals

  • PAGE 2 (Spend 135 Medals to unlock)
    • Weapons:
      • P-34 Breacher (50 Medals): A missile pistol that fires a sticky incendiary payload – it's essentially a thermite pistol!
    • Armor:
      • BFM-220 Ironclad armor (55 Medals): Heavy armor equipped with the Blunt-Force Mitigation passive, providing a higher armor rating, increased resistance to being knocked over, and reduced damage taken from impacts and collisions by 30%.
      • BFM-220 Ironclad helmet (45 Medals)
    • Boosters:
      • Surplus EAT Allocation (55 Medals): Provides two uses of the Expendable Anti-Tank support weapon Stratagem in your current mission. With two rocket launchers per Hellpod, that works out as one launcher per player in a full team of four.
    • Cosmetics:
      • Shroud of the Juggernaut Cape (25 Medals)
      • Shroud of the Juggernaut Player Card (7 Medals)
      • Glacial Polymer Tank Pattern (50 Medals)
    • 100 Super Credits (12 Medals)
  • TOTAL PAGE COST = 299 Medals

  • PAGE 3 (Spend 225 Medals to unlock)
    • Weapons:
      • GL-15 Evictor (65 Medals): Explosive power in the form of a primary weapon grenade launcher with a single-round reload and pump action.
      • G-60 Anti-Tank Seeker (65 Medals): Exactly what it says, an anti-tank grenade that can seek towards enemies. After deploying, it hovers near you before flying to a nearby target.
    • Boosters:
      • Integrated Extinguishers (65 Medals): Reduces the time to extinguish flames if you catch fire. Handy if your team is going all in on incendiary weapons and explosives.
    • Cosmetics:
      • Helmet Durability Check Emote (20 Medals)
      • Treadhead Player Title (20 Medals)
      • Executive Onyx Tank Pattern (55 Medals)
    • 100 Super Credits (32 Medals)
  • TOTAL PAGE COST = 322 Medals
  • TOTAL COST OF ALL REWARDS = 803 Medals

As well as the Warbond itself, there's also a set of Ironclad Democracy gear in the Superstore. You don't need to own the Warbond to get any of it, but you will need almost 1,000 Super Credits to buy all of it:
