Helldivers 2 is set to land on Xbox Series on August 26th, and it’s bringing a surprise specially designed for fans of the green brand. The Arrowhead title is teaming up with the Microsoft universe to offer an official crossover with Halo ODST, bringing with it a batch of legendary content that players can unlock in the game.

The so-called Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond gathers weapons, armor, and cosmetic items directly inspired by the iconic orbital drop soldiers from the Bungie and 343 Industries saga. A nod that not only appeals to nostalgia but also expands the playable options within the title itself.

Helldivers 2 x Halo ODST: Legendary Warbond Content

• This Warbond includes four iconic weapons, including the MA5C Assault Rifle with its ammunition counter, the M7S SMG with a permanent silencer, the M90A Shotgun with an integrated flashlight, and the M6C/SOCOM Pistol, which for the first time in Helldivers 2 features a suppressor for stealth.

In terms of equipment, two armor sets are added: the A-9 Helljumper, presented at the New Mombasa Armor Show, and the A-35 Recon, lighter and optimized for infiltration. Both feature the Feet First passive, which reduces movement noise, prevents leg injuries, and improves the discovery of points of interest by 30%. The bundle is completed with themed layers, player cards, an exclusive title (Rookie), and a new vehicle pattern in classic green.
