What is a Warbond in Helldivers 2?

A Warbond is essentially a Battle Pass. There’s one in the base game, as well as a premium one called Steeled Veterans. Cutting Edge will add another Premium Battle Pass, allowing players to use Medals to unlock new rewards.

Are Helldivers 2 Warbonds free?

No, the upcoming Warbonds will require Super Credits to purchase. While these can be found in-game, and unlocked via the base Battle Pass, you may need to spend real money to get enough to unlock the next Warbond. Generally, these cost 1000 Super Credits.

How do you unlock the new weapons and armor from Warbonds?

New Warbond will function the same as the others currently in the game. You’ll earn Medals in missions, and then use them to slowly work your way through the Battle Pass rewards. You will not have access to everything immediately after buying the Warbond.
