Helldivers 2 Loads Up a Warhammer 40K Warbond With a Bolt Pistol and Meltagun

Arrowhead confirmed the Helldivers 2 crossover Warbond, Castellan's Creed, lands August 12 on PS5, PC, and Xbox. The premium content pack costs 1,500 Super Credits and pulls in Warhammer 40,000 gear: a Hot-Shot marksman rifle, a Bolt Pistol sidearm, a Meltagun-style thermal explosive, and two Kasrkin shock-trooper armor sets. One armor passive grants plus 20 weapon handling and plus 30 percent support-weapon reload speed. Helldivers 2 is the co-op shooter where squads fight bugs and robots for Super Earth.

Discussion Topics

  1. Is a paid 40K crossover the hype injection Helldivers 2 needed, or content you feel you should already own?
  2. Plus 30 percent support-weapon reload: broken, or does it finally make heavy weapons viable?
  3. Would you rather Arrowhead spent this effort on new enemies instead of crossovers?
  4. Bolt Pistol or Meltagun: which are you unlocking first?
