Let\u2019s dive into what\u2019s included:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Weapons<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>MA5C Assault Rifle <\/strong>\u2013 An iconic rifle; the definition of reliable and having taken down countless aliens bent on wiping out humanity, it is time to turn its sights on enemies of Managed Democracy. It comes equipped with the convenient ammo counter and a built-in compass \u2013 let it guide you to victory.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>M7S SMG<\/strong> \u2013 Silent and deadly, with caseless ammo and a non-removable suppressor; this weapon is ready to spread Freedom to every corner of the galaxy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>M90A Shotgun<\/strong> \u2013 This powerful shotgun carries a kick and has a handy flashlight mounted on it so you can see the fear in your enemies\u2019 eyes before you teach them a valuable lesson about Liberty.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>M6C\/SOCOM Pistol<\/strong> \u2013 They say keep your friends close and your sidearm closer. Well, <em>we\u00a0<\/em>say that. The standard-issue ODST sidearm is your silent ally in the field \u2013 equipped with a built-in laser sight, flashlight, and, for the first time in <em>Helldivers<\/em> <em>2<\/em>, a suppressor to support stealth gameplay. Because sometimes the best way to enforce Peace is quietly\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Armor<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A-9 Helljumper<\/strong> \u2013 Debuted during the New Mombasa Armor Show, this sleek ensemble is sure to turn heads and blow minds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A-35 Recon<\/strong> \u2013 Made famous by the Ministry of Intelligence\u2019s hide-and-seek-and-destroy champion of \u201952, this armor has been improved by removing excess shoulder protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Feet First Armor Passive<\/strong> \u2013 Applied to both the above armor sets, this passive allows your <s>Helldiver<\/s> Helljumper to make less noise when moving, become immune to leg injuries, and increases the range of discovering points of interest by 30%.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Capes and More<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Honored Heirloom Cape <\/strong>\u2013 Should the wearer of this cape perish at the hands of Freedom\u2019s enemies, it is customary to pass the cape on to their bravest child during the funeral, inspiring the next generation to take up arms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eye of the Clandestine Cape <\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Those who serve Liberty from the shadows often elect to stay anonymous, moving like traceless spectres through the night. May they watch over us always.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More!<\/strong> \u2013 The Warbond will also include ODST-themed player cards, a new player title, \u201cRookie\u201d, and new vehicle pattern in a very familiar color known as Mean Green.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legendary Warbonds<\/h2>\n<p>For those who haven\u2019t played <em>Helldivers 2<\/em> before, Warbonds are optional collections of rewards that can be purchased through the in-game Acquisitions Center. The content inside is unlocked gradually by playing, but you never need to worry about missing your chance \u2013 Warbonds don\u2019t expire, meaning you can take as long as you need to get all the goodies inside.<\/p>\n<p>Legendary Warbonds are a brand new tier for the game. The <em>Helldivers 2<\/em> x <em>Halo: ODST <\/em>Legendary Warbond can be unlocked for 1,500 Super Credits (which can be found in-game, or purchased separately).
