Earlier this year, Arrowhead Game Studios developed a huge Helldivers 2 x Halo crossover for its popular co-op shooter, delivering players a new 1,500-Super Credit ($15 worth) Legendary Warbond full of weapons, armors, and cosmetics that were either themed after or taken straight out of Xbox’s iconic Halo series. Notably, though, this crossover wasn’t the first of its kind.
Ever since the Halo content was added, fans have been asking the studio to reintroduce the Killzone items in their own bundle so they can be permanently available. And bless Lady Liberty’s heart, Arrowhead is obliging with the upcoming addition of the Helldivers 2 x Killzone Legendary Warbond.
The news of its arrival on December 18 at 7 A.M. PT / 10 A.M. ET next week came in a new PlayStation blog post penned by Arrowhead community manager Mitchell Ayre alongside a new trailer you can watch below.
“Helldivers 2 x Killzone is back and this time, it’s back for good,” wrote Ayre. “It seems fitting that a year after their initial launch, we bring back this iconic content but now in a new and improved format and pricing — yes, we totally heard you all!”
The new Killzone Legendary Warbond will cost 1,500 Super Credits like the Halo one does, and features every piece of content that was released in the Superstore last year. This includes the StA-52 Assault Rifle, the StA-11 SMG, and the PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle, along with the AC-1 Dutiful medium armor and the AC-2 Obedient light armor that come with the Acclimated passive — a perk that reduces damage taken from fire, gas, acid, and electricity by 50%.
You’ll get the capes and player card backgrounds that match these armor sets, too, as well as the Assault Infantry player title. Notably, the Legendary Warbond will also feature new content in the form of light and dark camo patterns called Extrasolar Ash for the Fast Recon Vehicle (FRV), Exosuit mechs, Pelican shuttles, and your Hellpods.
Something important to mention, and pretty cool that Arrowhead is doing here, is that if you bought any of the Killzone content from the Superstore back when it was for sale in 2024, you’ll get the entire Legendary Warbond for free — even if you only bought one singular item. Any items you did previously buy will also be medal unlocked from the get-go, making it easier to progress through the Warbond with your medals faster.
This offer does not apply to anyone who only got some of the Killzone items as a free gift — Arrowhead gave away half of them in response to player complaints about their Superstore prices — so those players will have to buy or earn 1,500 Super Credits through gameplay to buy the Legendary Warbond. Gifted items will still already be unlocked in the Warbond, though.
It’s great to see Helldivers 2 bring back the Killzone crossover in a player-friendly way, especially since its weapons and armors are quite solid (though not “meta” by any stretch). Whether you’re a fan of Killzone that missed the original crossover or just someone who digs the Helghast’s rugged sci-fi kit, this new Legendary Warbond is definitely worth a pickup.
