Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST brings iconic weapons, armour and a big surprise on 26 August! What's inside
The collaboration introduces the 'Obedient Democracy Support Troopers' or ODST, better known as the Helljumpers, into the fight for Managed Democracy. Players will be able to outfit their Helldivers with gear that echoes the legendary squad, complete with authentic details and battlefield utility.
Iconic weaponry
The Warbond features an arsenal tailored for both all-out combat and stealth operations. The MA5C Assault Rifle makes its debut, equipped with an ammo counter and compass for battlefield navigation. The M6C/SOCOM Pistol includes a suppressor, a first for Helldivers 2, alongside a laser sight and flashlight for covert engagements. For close-quarters encounters, the M90A Shotgun arrives with heavy stopping power and a mounted flashlight. Rounding off the selection is the M7S SMG, a suppressed, caseless weapon designed for precision and quiet manoeuvres.
New armour sets
Two distinct armour options are available. The A-9 Helljumper Armour Set pays homage to a decorated Lance Corporal of ODST renown, offering a 'Feet First' passive ability. Meanwhile, the sleeker A-35 Recon Armour Set is inspired by an intelligence officer's combat gear, also carrying the 'Feet First' boost, which reduces movement noise, improves detection range by 30 per cent and grants immunity to leg injuries.
Capes and cosmetics
Players can further customise their Helldivers with themed capes, such as the Honoured Heirloom, bearing the ODST insignia, and the Eye of the Clandestine, designed for those who prefer the shadows. The crossover also extends to ODST-themed player cards, a new title, and a 'Mean Green' pattern for vehicles and equipment, including hellpods and exosuits.
Pricing and availability
The Legendary Warbond will be available from the Acquisitions Centre at 1,500 Super Credits – a higher price point than standard Warbonds, reflecting its expanded content. Sony also confirmed that Legendary Warbonds will not be compatible with the new Premium Warbond Token launching on the same day.
The Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond goes live on 26 August at 5am PT / 1pm BST, marking a major moment for both series' communities.

Amitabh Bachchan-Katrina Kaif film was shot at Dubai hotel that turned down James Bond, on Gaddafi's private jet; flopped instantly, bankrupted Jackie Shroff
Bollywood is a fleeting business, and most of the radical ideas that find their way to a screen don't really end up making a mark on the overall picture of the industry. Boom (2003), directed by Kaizad Gustad, is one such example, and nothing could save this film from its fate, not the money put into it, not the stellar cast, consisting of names like Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Gulshan Grover, Madhu Sapre, Padma Lakshmi, or debutante Katrina Kaif. Jackie's wife, Ayesha Shroff, produced the film, and in a recent interview she recalled all that they had achieved during the filming and why its ultimate failure hurt even more. Ayesha and daughter Krishna Shroff sat down to have a chat about their business ventures and life on the YouTube channel of Zero1 Hustle. Ayesha admitted that she quit acting because she felt two actors couldn't make a marriage work. She eventually turned a producer, 'I always had that passion for movies, and my husband was also producing films. Suddenly he got very busy, and he told me, 'Listen, I don't have time for this; can you look into it?' I decided to get into it, and I loved it immediately. Then I did another film, Jis Desh Mai Ganga Rehta Hai, with Govinda. Everyone told me that it would take me 50 years to complete the film because he was supposedly this moody star. I used to go to his house every day, pick him up and bring him to the set. Except for the songs, we finished the shooting in 30 days.' ALSO READ: Gulshan Grover had an awkward moment with Katrina Kaif in Boom and the reason was Amitabh Bachchan. Read more She talked about her and Jackie's investment into Sony and how exiting that deal had made them quite a comfortable amount of money. 'After we exited from partnering with Sony, we made Boom. It was a fantastic experience, and it was very much ahead of its time. Actually, I was making money before the film was released. We had such an incredible cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Gulshan Grover, and Jackie, and we got a 17-year-old Katrina Kaif from London. Salman Rushdie used to hang out at our sets because he was seeing Padma Lakshmi at the time. We had Bo Derek, and I even got her to do the iconic scene from her film Ten, but instead of a swimsuit, she was wearing a golden saree,' shared Ayesha. Talking about the film, she added, 'We shot in the Burj Al-Arab, and at the same time, the James Bond people had contacted the hotel for the same location, because they wanted to make it into the villain's lair, but they said no. I pleaded with them, and that was Mr Bachchan's house in the film. We had Gaddafi's private jet, and we even shut down Dubai airport for half a day.' Despite all the efforts, money and cameo appearances, the film tanked at the box office, and Ayesha credits that to the film getting leaked before release. She said, 'Boom changed the look of Bollywood, but the film got pirated before release. DVDs were selling in front of every train station, and all the distributors backed out; I had no money to pay anyone. At that point in time, Jackie told me that we were going to release the film no matter what, and we signed bonds for everyone. We did go through some sh*tty times. But as a unit and as a family, we all kept each other happy and content. Whatever negative happened, or when the 'doomsday' came, we made an adventure out of it. My husband has a favourite quote, which is, 'I am a blank cheque,' and he kept on working, and we never let the kids know that we were going through any financial trauma. Even when things were really bad, all of us were part of an adventure, and we got through it.'
