Exploring FAQs About the Next Helldivers 2 Update
What is a Warbond in Helldivers 2?
A Warbond functions similarly to a Battle Pass, with both a base version and a premium one called Steeled Veterans. The upcoming Cutting Edge Warbond will introduce another Premium Battle Pass, allowing players to unlock new rewards using Medals.
Are Helldivers 2 Warbonds free?
No, the upcoming Cutting Edge Warbond will require Super Credits for purchase. While these can be earned in-game or unlocked through the base Battle Pass, players may need to invest real money to acquire enough Super Credits to unlock the next Warbond. Although the price has not been disclosed, it is likely to be similar to the cost of the other Premium Warbond, which is 1000 Super Credits.
How do you unlock the new weapons and armor from Warbonds?
The new Warbond operates in the same manner as the existing ones in the game. By earning Medals in missions, players can gradually progress through the Battle Pass rewards to access new weapons and armor. Immediate access to all content is not granted upon purchasing the Warbond.
