Super Credits (SC) are Helldivers 2's premium currency. You can buy them with real money, but you can also earn them for free, by looting them during missions and by unlocking Super Credit rewards inside Warbonds. That makes it possible to buy every Premium Warbond without paying, as long as you put in the time.

What Super Credits are used for
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Premium Warbond | 1,000 SC |
| Legendary Warbond (crossovers such as Halo: ODST) | 1,500 SC |
| Superstore armor, helmets, capes and other items | Varies by item |
The Superstore sells individual cosmetic and gear sets outside the Warbonds. Since a May 2025 change, it has one rotating page of six sets that changes every 48 hours, so the full rotation cycles in 12 days. Older Superstore sets move to a permanent page, so you can still buy them after they leave the rotation.
See our Warbonds guide for what each Warbond type includes.
How to get Super Credits for free
1. Loot them during missions
Super Credits are hidden around every map, usually at points of interest: the small sites marked with question marks, bunkers, sealed supply pods and locked containers. Some containers and doors are locked and have to be blown open with a grenade or another explosive before you can loot them.
When anyone in your squad picks up Super Credits, everyone in the squad gets them. You don't need to fight over who grabs them.
2. Unlock them from Warbonds
The free Helldivers Mobilize Warbond and most Premium Warbonds have Super Credit rewards on their pages. You pay for these with medals, just like the weapons and armor. If you're saving for your first Premium Warbond, unlocking the Super Credits in Helldivers Mobilize is the quickest free boost, since every player already owns it.
Spending medals on the Super Credit rewards in a Premium Warbond also helps pay for your next one. It won't cover a whole Warbond by itself, but it adds up alongside what you loot in missions.
3. Buy them
You can buy Super Credit bundles through the store on your platform: PlayStation Store, Steam or Microsoft Store. Arrowhead doesn't handle these payments, so refunds for real-money purchases go through your platform's support.
On PlayStation, buy from the same region as your PSN account. Arrowhead says Super Credits bought from a different regional store (for example, a US purchase on a European account) may not arrive, and you would need Sony's support to sort out a refund.
4. The Warbond Token (Super Citizen Edition)
The Super Citizen Edition, or the Super Citizen Upgrade, bought after August 26, 2025, comes with a Premium Warbond Token. It isn't Super Credits, but it's worth 1,000 SC: it claims any one Premium Warbond for free. It can't be turned into Super Credits or used on a Legendary Warbond.
The best way to farm Super Credits
Super Credits drop in small amounts, so farming is about checking as many points of interest as possible in the least time. A popular approach:
- Pick a mission on Trivial or Easy. Maps are small and enemies are light, so you can move fast.
- Finish the main objective quickly so extraction is ready whenever you are.
- Sweep the map and loot every point of interest you can find: question marks on the map, bunkers, sealed pods and locked containers.
- Extract, then repeat.
A few things make this faster:
- Play with friends. More people cover more ground, and every credit anyone picks up is shared.
- Use the map. Hovering over the map shows points of interest even before you've found them. Activating a radar station, when a map has one, reveals more.
- Bring explosives. Grenades open the locked doors and containers that often hold the best loot.
- Accept the trade-off. Low difficulties give very little XP, medals and Requisition Slips per mission. If you also want to level up, mix farming runs with normal missions on a harder difficulty. Our difficulty levels guide explains what each level pays.
How Super Credits differ from the other currencies
Helldivers 2 has four kinds of currency, and each one buys something different:
| Currency | How you get it | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| Super Credits | Found in missions, Warbond rewards, or bought | Warbonds and Superstore items |
| War Medals | Found in missions and awarded for objectives | Items inside Warbonds |
| Requisition Slips | Awarded for objectives, missions and operations | New stratagems, plus weapon attachments |
| Samples (common, rare, super) | Found in missions | Ship upgrades that improve your stratagems |
Weapon attachments unlock as each primary weapon levels up, from player level 10, and are then bought with Requisition Slips. For more on spending slips and samples, see our stratagems guide.
Things to know before you spend
- Look before you buy. Arrowhead can refund a Warbond only if nothing on it has been bought, within 7 days of the purchase. If you've already claimed Super Credits from a Warbond, it can't be refunded at all.
- Refunds are limited. You get up to 3 item refunds a year, with up to 3 items each time. The Killzone Legendary Warbond can't be refunded.
- Credits don't transfer between platforms. There's no cross-progression, so Super Credits and Warbonds on Steam stay on Steam, and the same goes for PlayStation and Xbox.
- Refunding Super Citizen can leave you negative. If you refund the Super Citizen Edition after claiming Super Credits from its Warbond, those credits are removed again, which can push your balance below zero.
- Steam Family Sharing has limits. If you borrowed the game through Family Sharing, you lose access to the owner's Warbonds and any Super Credit rewards from them when the sharing stops.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get free Super Credits in Helldivers 2?
Loot them from points of interest during missions and unlock the Super Credit rewards in Warbonds with medals. The free Helldivers Mobilize Warbond is the easiest place to start.
Where do you find Super Credits in missions?
At points of interest: bunkers, sealed supply pods, locked containers and other marked sites around the map. Some have to be opened with explosives first.
Do Super Credits get shared with the squad?
Yes. When one Helldiver picks up Super Credits, every player in the squad receives them, so there's no need to race your teammates for them.
What difficulty is best for farming Super Credits?
Trivial or Easy. The maps are small and enemies are weak, so you can check more points of interest per hour, though you'll earn very little XP while you do it.
How many Super Credits do you need for a Warbond?
A Premium Warbond costs 1,000 Super Credits and a Legendary Warbond costs 1,500. A Warbond Token from the Super Citizen Edition covers one Premium Warbond.
Can you transfer Super Credits between PC, PlayStation and Xbox?
No. Helldivers 2 has crossplay but no cross-progression, so currency and unlocks stay on the account and platform where you earned them.
