The Helldivers 2 Steeled Veterans Warbond offers a mix of weapons and armor that you can unlock using your Medals. The veterans in question might have a steel resolve but also metal prosthetics that come as part of the exclusive armor sets, even playing a part in the Servo-Assisted passive. You'll can also get some punchy new firearms in the form of the explosive Dominator, Senator revolver, and more besides. Below, we've covered all the details on the Steeled Veterans Warbond in Helldivers 2, including if the weapons within are any good.
Is the Steeled Veterans Warbond worth it?
If you're uncertain about whether to buy the Steeled Veterans Warbond in Helldivers 2 and are wondering if it's worth it, well… the answer is not really at this point in the lifetime of Helldivers 2.
Being the first premium Warbond meant that the gear was a bit basic compared to the sorts of things that are released in Warbonds nowadays. In short, it's far from being one of the best Helldivers 2 Warbonds according to our tier list and you should spend your Super Credits elsewhere. Even Cutting Edge, the second Warbond to release, has the Sickle, and the standard Breaker is found in the free Helldivers Mobilize Warbond - both of these are some of the Helldivers 2 best weapons.
Of course, the Steeled Veterans Warbond will be around forever - unlike other games, Helldivers 2 doesn't put its battle passes on a timer - so you have more than enough time to work up to it or consider if you want to buy it.
Everything in the Steeled Veterans Warbond in Helldivers 2
There are 25 separate items in the Helldivers 2 Steeled Veterans Warbond to be earned, split across three pages and increasingly expensive (in terms of Helldivers 2 Medals) as you move down the battle pass. As you spend through earlier pages, you'll unlock later ones, having to hit a certain amount of Medals spent before the game will permit the second and third pages.

How to get the Steeled Veterans Warbond
Players can unlock the Steeled Veterans battle pass either by paying for it with Helldivers 2 Super Credits - a currency you can either buy through microtransactions or earn in-game by finding small amounts during missions as part of the Helldivers 2 progression system - or with a Helldivers 2 Warbond Token from the Super Citizen edition of the game (you can upgrade to the Super Citizen special edition if you already brought the standard version of the game).
If you don't get the Super Citizen edition, you'll need to pay 1000 Super Credits - a price equal to $9.99 / £7.99.
Steeled Veterans was followed by the arguably superior Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond, but there are plenty more now that are worth getting first, such as the Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond.
