Helldivers 2 Warbonds Explained: Prices, Medals and Tokens

Warbonds are Helldivers 2's version of a battle pass: catalogs of weapons, armor, capes, emotes, stratagems and other items that you unlock page by page with medals. Unlike most battle passes, Warbonds never expire. Once you own one, you can work through it at your own pace, and older Warbonds stay on sale.

Last checked: November 9, 2026. Prices and dates come from Arrowhead's support pages and announcements.

Warbond types and prices

Super Credits are the game's premium currency. You can buy them, but you can also find them during missions and unlock some from Warbond pages, so you can earn a Premium Warbond without paying. Our Super Credits guide covers how.

How Warbonds work

Buying a Warbond only opens it. The items inside are then unlocked with War Medals, which you earn by playing: medals turn up in missions and are awarded for completing objectives.

• Each Warbond is split into pages.
• You spend medals on any item on an unlocked page.
• Once you've spent a set number of medals on that Warbond, the next page opens.
• Every medal spent on that Warbond counts toward the next page, whichever page you spent it on.

So you never have to buy items you don't want just to progress. Spend medals on the items you like, and the pages will open as your total climbs.

Arrowhead says Warbond gear is meant to add variety, not to overpower the free options. A Warbond rifle might deal the same damage as one you unlock by playing, just in a different way.

Premium vs Legendary Warbonds

Premium Warbonds are the regular releases. Each has a theme, such as sniping, chemical weapons or police gear, and usually includes primary and secondary weapons, throwables, armor sets with a shared passive, capes, player cards, emotes and patterns for your vehicles and Hellpods. Some also add stratagems and boosters.

Legendary Warbonds are a separate tier for special projects, mainly crossovers. They cost 1,500 Super Credits instead of 1,000 and don't follow a set schedule. Legendary Warbonds released so far include:

• Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST, the first Legendary Warbond, launched August 26, 2025, alongside the Xbox release.
• Helldivers 2 x Killzone launched December 18, 2025. It brought back the Killzone items first sold in the Superstore in December 2024, plus new patterns. Anyone who had bought at least one of the original Killzone items got the Warbond for free.
• Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000: Castellan's Creed launched August 12, 2026, with the Devoid of Liberty update.

Two things differ for Legendary gear. Legendary Warbond weapons can't be customized with attachments, so Arrowhead raised some of their base stats in October 2026 to compensate. And Premium Warbond vehicle patterns can be applied to the Bastion tank, but Legendary patterns couldn't be as of June 2026.

The Warbond Token

The Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2, or the Super Citizen Upgrade, bought after August 26, 2025, includes a Premium Warbond Token. It's worth 1,000 Super Credits and lets you claim any one Premium Warbond.

• It can't be used on Legendary Warbonds, because they cost more.
• It can't be converted into Super Credits.
• There's no on-screen counter. To check if you have one, open any Premium Warbond: if the button says "Claim Premium Warbond" instead of "Buy Premium Warbond," the token is ready.
• If you have a token, the game uses it automatically on your next Premium Warbond purchase.

Before August 26, 2025, the Super Citizen Edition came with the Steeled Veterans Warbond instead of a token.

Warbond release dates

The two newest Premium Warbonds show the range. Ironclad Democracy is built around heavy armor and vehicles: it adds the AR-11 Arbitrator rifle with an underslung shotgun, the GL-15 Evictor grenade launcher, a missile pistol, an anti-tank seeker grenade, two boosters and the first tank-only patterns in a Premium Warbond. Scope of Authority is a sniper set with the R-40 Sightliner bolt-action rifle, the P-44 Mist machine pistol, the AMW-20 Apex anti-materiel weapon, the LAS-44 Nova energy rifle, G-11 Caltrops and armor with the Stationary Shroud passive, which cuts weapon sway and detection range while crouched or prone.

Which Warbond should you buy first?

There's no single right answer, and the best choice changes with balance patches. A few rules of thumb:

• Finish Helldivers Mobilize first. It's free and contains Super Credits you can put toward your first Premium Warbond.
• Buy for the gear you'll use. Look through every page before you buy. If one weapon or armor passive fits how you play, that's a better reason than a high ranking on a tier list.
• Pick a theme that fits your favorite front. Sniper and anti-armor sets suit the Automaton front, while fire and close-range sets suit the bug front.
• Save Legendary Warbonds for fans. They cost 50% more and their weapons can't take attachments, so they're best for players who want the crossover look.

Refunds and account rules

• Arrowhead can refund a Warbond only if nothing has been bought on it yet, and the request must come within 7 days of the purchase. Warbonds where you've already claimed Super Credits can't be refunded.
• You get up to 3 refunds a year, each covering up to 3 items.
• The Killzone Legendary Warbond can't be refunded at all, because of how it was distributed.
• Warbonds don't carry across platforms. There's no cross-progression between PC, PlayStation and Xbox.
• If you played a Steam copy through Family Sharing, you lose access to the owner's Warbonds when sharing stops.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Warbond cost in Helldivers 2?

A Premium Warbond costs 1,000 Super Credits and a Legendary Warbond costs 1,500. The Helldivers Mobilize Warbond is free for every player.

Do Helldivers 2 Warbonds expire?

No. Warbonds never expire, and Arrowhead keeps older Warbonds on sale, so you can buy and finish any of them at your own pace.

What is a Legendary Warbond?

It's a special Warbond tier, mostly used for crossovers such as Halo: ODST, Killzone and Warhammer 40,000. Legendary Warbonds cost 1,500 Super Credits and can't be claimed with a Warbond Token.

How do you unlock the next page of a Warbond?

Spend medals on items in that Warbond. Once your total spent on it reaches the required amount, the next page opens, no matter which pages you spent the medals on.

Can you use the Warbond Token on any Warbond?

Only on Premium Warbonds. The token is worth 1,000 Super Credits, so it doesn't cover Legendary Warbonds, and it can't be turned into Super Credits.

As of November 9, 2026, the newest is Scope of Authority, a Premium sniper-themed Warbond released on October 20, 2026.
