The Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond facilitates true sneaking missions, with excellent primary weapons, armor, and explosives all geared towards stealth and sabotage. The Censor and both armor sets are definite standouts and practically essential if you want to have any chance of success with a quiet approach. But this focus on stealth means this Warbond isn't going to appeal to everyone and there are some important things to know about the explosives that means they're not as good as they seem. With that, here's everything you need to know about the Redacted Regiments Warbond in Helldivers 2, including all the items you can unlock and whether it's all worth your Super Credits.
Is the Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond worth getting?
Having now tested the Redacted Regiment Warbond, I can say that it's one of the best Helldivers 2 Warbonds you can get, just missing out on an S-tier spot since it relies on you being willing to play stealthily. Helping you sneak around perhaps the most is the Reduced Signature armor passive. Even if you're not intending to follow a stealth approach, this passive is very useful for most missions since it makes you generally much harder to detect.
Pair this with the Censor, which is particularly excellent against the Automatons, and you've got the beginnings of a solid stealth loadout, especially Helldivers 2 Commando Missions. But if marksman rifles aren't your thing, the Suppressor assault rifle certainly isn’t bad as an alternative – it's definitely not as good as the Censor but still useful. However, the Re-Educator is by far the worst weapon in this Warbond and I've not found a good use for it yet.
Rounding off Redacted Regiment is the Lure Mine and C4 Pack and both are a bit underwhelming for different reasons. The Lure Mine is terrible against hordes since it detonates far too early, while the fact that C4 takes up your backpack slot and support weapon slot is a massive downside. Both are very powerful explosives however, and can be used to great effect with proper stealth tactics.
All Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond rewards
The Redacted Regiment Warbond offers quite a nice spread of gear, all themed around stealth and disruption. It features 19 items to unlock, including three new guns, a C4 Stratagem, and a smoke-launching Booster. Here's everything you can unlock:
- PAGE 1
- Weapons:
- R-72 Censor (35 Medals): The Censor is a marksman rifle that comes with an integrated suppressor to keep the noise down and stats similar to that of the Diligence.
- P-35 Re-Educator (20 Medals): A pistol secondary weapon that fires darts that deliver the same caustic and delirium-inducing toxin as gas weapons and Stratagems. That means enemies hit by the dart take damage over time and are effectively stunned.
- Armor:
- RS-89 Shadow Paragon armor (45 Medals): Light armor that comes with the Reduced Signature passive, which reduces the amount of noise you make when moving by 50% and reduces the range at which enemies can detect you by 40% – essential for those wanting to lean hard into stealth gameplay in Helldivers 2.
- RS-89 Shadow Paragon helmet (30 Medals)
- Cosmetics:
- Pillar of the Abyss Cape (8 Medals)
- Pillar of the Abyss Player Card (2 Medals)
- 100 Super Credits (7 Medals)
- Weapons:
- TOTAL PAGE COST = 147 Medals
- PAGE 2 (Spend 140 Medals to unlock)
- Weapons:
- AR-59 Suppressor (50 Medals): This assault rifle also comes with an integrated suppressor which means it can't be removed using the Helldivers 2 attachments system. It fires light-armor-penetrating shots and a high fire rate for an assault rifle.
- Armor:
- RS-67 Null Cipher armor (55 Medals): A medium armor set that also comes with the Reduced Signature passive.
- RS-67 Null Cipher helmet (45 Medals)
- Cosmetics:
- Triangulation Veil Cape (25 Medals)

- Weapons:
- TM-01 Lure Mine (65 Medals): Throw one of these anti-personnel mines out and it'll start flashing and making noise to coax nearby enemies over to investigate before exploding.
- Stratagems:
- C4 Pack (110 Medals): This backpack Stratagem loads up your Helldiver with six sticky anti-tank charges that you can lob out and detonate, either one at a time or all at once.
- Booster:
- Concealed Insertion (40 Medals): Deploys a smokescreen when your Hellpods impact, providing cover.
- Cosmetics:
- Target Sighted Victory Pose (20 Medals)
- [REDACTED] Player Title (20 Medals)

How to get the Helldivers 2 Redacted Regiment Warbond
The Redacted Regiment Warbond is now available to buy in the Superstore for the usual 1,000 Helldivers 2 Super Credits. Although, if you still have a Helldivers 2 Warbond Token to spend, you could always use it on Redacted Regiment for free stealth gear. Once you have the Warbond unlocked, you'll still need to unlock all the individual items using Helldivers 2 Medals too. There are also a couple of other non-Warbond items you can buy with your credits, including the RS-100 Sanctioner armor and helmet and the Smokescreen grenade, the latter costing 300 Super Credits.
The last Warbond to be released was the Helldivers 2 Killzone Warbond, but it's probably not worth your time. Alternatively, if you want to get in the thick of battle with a chainsaw or minigun, the Helldivers 2 Python Commandos Warbond is for you.
