Helldivers 2 Items

After nearly two months of teasers, anticipation, and community speculation, Helldivers 2 finally revealed on July 30 that Warhammer 40K Warbond is officially titled Castellan's Creed, alongside its launch date and a dedicated trailer.

We had previously speculated that Castellan's Creed Legendary Warbond would launch on July 30. Unfortunately, that day brought only a trailer; fortunately, the release date is now confirmed for August 12, so you won't have to wait long to experience it!

So, what exactly does this new crossover Warbond include, and how can you unlock it? We've got the answers for you!

How to unlock Warhammer 40K Warbond?

Upon launch, this Helldivers 2 Warbond will feature one primary weapon, one secondary weapon, two Stratagems, two sets of armor, and various cosmetic items and titles, spanning three pages in total. The two armor sets share a new passive ability.

Unlocking Castellan's Creed Warbond is expected to consume 1,500 Super Credits, with specific items on each page requiring additional Medals to unlock.

If you've depleted your Super Credits unlocking other content, earning that amount through gameplay in under two weeks might be difficult, which is where Helldivers 2 Super Credits for sale on IGGM become your best option!

Primary Weapon: R/40-K

A Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle, R/40-K features a black-and-purple color scheme and an exquisitely designed scope. It delivers impressive damage output at both long and short ranges and appears to offer exceptional firing accuracy.

This makes R/40-K highly adaptable to various combat environments and particularly effective at quickly eliminating powerful individual targets.

While specific stats haven't been released yet, we hope Helldivers 2 equips this weapon with strong armor-piercing capabilities to handle potential future Major Orders.

Secondary Weapon: P/40-K

This weapon is a Bolt Pistol, reportedly distinguished by its versatility and powerful stopping power. Judging by the trailer, P/40-K features a very substantial magazine, suggesting it possesses heavy armor-piercing capabilities, potentially even capable of one-shotting many low-level enemies.

Two New Stratagems

In Helldivers 2, Stratagems are a special type of gear that can serve as offensive weapons or provide various forms of support.

The first Stratagem introduced in Castellan's Creed Legendary Warbond is 40-K Meltagun. An offensive weapon, it fires an ultra-high-temperature thermal beam effective at close range, melting through enemies.

We anticipate this item will be highly effective against enemy vehicles; after all, extreme heat is far more efficient than standard bullets when it comes to destroying metal structures.

The second new Stratagem is G/40-K Meltamine. A proximity-triggered explosive mine, G/40-K is well-suited for individual use; upon detonation, it erupts upwards, dealing massive AoE damage.

The trailer shows this Stratagem capable of destroying a Hulk, one of the toughest Automaton units, in a single blast, making it a vital asset for future Helldivers 2 battles.

While G/40-K is devastating, it can also damage you if you are too close, so it is best deployed by throwing it ahead of time when encountering enemies at a distance.

New armor and passive ability

Warhammer 40K Warbond introduces TG-8 Sharpshooter (medium armor) and Demo-Trooper (heavy armor), allowing you to unlock and equip them based on specific combat needs.

Visually, these armor sets don't strictly adhere to the classic Warhammer 40K aesthetic, but they look cool and are certainly worth acquiring.

The new armor passive ability is called True Grit; it grants a +20 bonus to weapon handling and a 30% increase in support weapon reload speed.

Admittedly, these bonuses aren't particularly flashy, though this may be a design choice reflecting Warhammer 40K crossover elements.

New cosmetics and titles

Having covered the highlights, let's take a look at the cosmetics and player titles included in Helldivers 2 Castellan's Creed Legendary Warbond.

First up are Camo Cloak and City Fighter's Resolve, two brand-new cape and player card options. Both capes look fantastic, and they are definitely worth grabbing if you want to coordinate them with your player banners.

The new player title is Still Standing, but the item you'll likely be most interested in is the new Castellan's Green Pattern. While the trailer makes it look like a standard camouflage, it may well look even better once applied to vehicles in-game.

Other potential new gear

When Helldivers 2 launches a new Warbond, the in-game Superstore often introduces additional unlockable items. Although there is no specific news yet, we speculate that a piece of light armor, not included in Castellan's Creed Warbond itself, might be added.

Additionally, Helldivers 2 announced two days ago that the next campaign will be Permanent Enclosure; the new gear from Warhammer 40K Warbond could play a pivotal role in this campaign.

And if you can complete Permanent Enclosure campaign, you will be able to unlock the ultimate reward: KDM-500 Outrider Body Armor. It clearly belongs to the same set as KDM-500 Outrider introduced in the previous campaign, and further pieces may be added via future campaigns.

In short, whether you are interested in Warhammer 40K collaboration or simply aiming to complete more Helldivers 2 content, Castellan's Creed Warbond is something to look forward to. For now, your best bet is to keep playing and earning Super Credits and medals!

Helldivers 2's official team has released a new trailer, announcing the beginning of a new campaign. According to Ministry of Truth's official statement, after successfully completing the democratic process, the construction of the orbital Socialist Super Weapon has been halted, and Super Earth's security level has reached an all-time high.

Terminid Control System has achieved overwhelming success. The next Helldivers campaign, Permanent Enclosure, aims to push the defensive line deeper into Terminid territory and establish a safer democratic containment zone.

Automaton Space Station (A.S.S.)

Helldivers have just accomplished a remarkable feat by successfully destroying Automaton Space Station. However, the actual presentation of this major event was extremely underwhelming. There was no cinematic sequence, no explosion effects, and not even a planetary scene showing debris falling from orbit.

Many players expected at least a short animation or a dedicated mission related to the event, but the result was only a simple text message. This could be seen as a lack of effort from the official team, or it could indicate that Automatons have not actually suffered a devastating defeat. There may still be a new threat waiting in the shadows.

KDM-500 Outrider

Many players had already unlocked KDM-500 Outrider through Operation: Lightning Intercept, so the introduction of the matching KDM-500 Outrider Body Armor this time does not come as a surprise.

Judging from the armor's design, a matching cape will likely be added in the future to complete the full set. Overall, the armor has an excellent appearance, and the reward itself is satisfying. If you do not want to miss this armor set, the best choice is to equip your gear, prepare your weapons, and continue the fight for democracy.

However, one disappointing aspect is that the complete armor set is being divided across three different campaigns and unlocked gradually. This means that if players miss either the helmet or the body armor, their armory will contain an incomplete combination, greatly reducing the overall visual appeal.

More concerning is that the official team has not confirmed when the missing components will become available again. This is especially disappointing for casual players.

Permanent Enclosure × Warhammer 40,000

The official team has confirmed that more details about Warhammer 40,000 collaboration will be revealed on July 30. Since this announcement is close to the launch period of Permanent Enclosure campaign, many players are wondering whether there is a deeper connection between the two events.

In reality, Helldivers 2 universe shares many similarities with Warhammer universe. Terminids resemble Tyranids in some ways, Automatons share similarities with Necrons, and Illuminate could potentially be compared to factions such as T'au Empire or Aeldari.

If the two universes were connected through the storyline, combining these elements would be relatively easy. Unfortunately, this possibility is unlikely. Both Helldivers 2 and Warhammer place great importance on maintaining the identity of their own universes, and both are generally resistant to outside characters entering their established settings. Therefore, players will most likely not be able to personally fight against a Tyranid in Permanent Enclosure campaign.

The official team has already confirmed that this collaboration will focus on the perspective of ordinary human soldiers from Imperium of Man in Warhammer 40,000, also known as Astra Militarum, rather than directly introducing the extremely powerful Space Marines. So players should not expect to run through Permanent Enclosure campaign wearing Astartes armor, especially since Helldivers are not nearly as physically massive as Space Marines.

However, Warhammer 40,000 Legendary Warbond is still unlikely to disappoint. Even Astra Militarum equipment looks impressive. Although Astra Militarum soldiers are often considered cannon fodder in Warhammer, giving them powerful weapons allows them to play a crucial role on the battlefield, which is very similar to Helldivers.

Therefore, this is a collaboration Warbond that many players will not want to miss. It is recommended you to buy Helldivers 2 Super Credits on IGGM so you do not miss this content.

Exostorm

One of the most important developments to watch is the recent warning released by the official team. The abnormal alien storm, Exostorm, on Heze Bay has reached Level Three and has transformed into a planet-wide chaotic storm, with atmospheric violence reaching its absolute peak.

Ministry of Science reported that the initial hostile spacetime rifts have appeared, causing localized reality fields to become unstable. Helldivers must defend Heze Bay and eliminate Exostorm, otherwise it could trigger a Galactic Catastrophe.

This may be a hint toward a major turning point in the upcoming storyline. In addition, leaked information suggests that the official team is developing new Illuminate enemies, including Summoners and versions of Observer from the first game. These enemies could become the next major threat facing Super Earth.

Whether it is the Illuminate or Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 Legendary Warbond, August is expected to bring plenty of exciting content for every Helldiver. Soldiers, for Super Earth and democracy, march forward and crush Terminids.
