The Premium Warbond in Helldivers 2 is an exclusive version of the game’s Warbonds system that functions similarly to a battle pass. Unlike the regular, free Warbond, it grants players a range of content additions such as weapons, armor sets, player cards, emotes, boosters, and even super credits.
As such, this guide will give you a rundown of rewards for every premium version of Warbonds in Helldivers 2 available as of date, how to unlock them, and whether it is worth the penny or not.

Purchasing the Steeled Veterans Warbond in Helldivers 2 features items that offer particular advantages, including the unique SERVO-ASSISTED body armor passive, which boosts throwing range by 30% and increases limb health by 50%. Additionally, players can benefit from the JAR-5 Dominator, a meta weapon that is pretty much effective against terminids and automatons due to its armor penetration.
Aside from cosmetics, everything else is pretty normal for me and can be outclassed when compared to the other Premium Warbond rewards below, especially when engaging on higher difficulty levels.
Cutting Edge
Released on March 14, 2024, the Cutting Edge Warbond items include:
- Page 1
- Botslayer Player Card (2 Medals)

The main highlights of this warbond are the weapons that greatly boost your ammo efficiency. The only downside is that most of them have less range and damage. The weapon I mainly used, and probably the best one out of this warbond would be the LAS-16 Sickle. Overall, it offers big mag capacity, fast reload, you won’t be having problems about the recoil and damage as well.
Democratic Detonation
Released on April 11, 2024, the Democratic Detonation Warbond items include:
- Page 1
- 100 Super Credits (7 medals)
- Squat Victory Pose (8 Medals)

- FS-55 Devastator Helmet (48 Medals)
- Freedom’s Tapestry Cape (30 Medals)
- 100 Super Credits (32 medals)
- CB-9 Exploding Crossbow (80 Medals)
For those who enjoy things that go Kaboom (careful not to blow yourself up), the Democratic Detonation Premium Warbond gives pretty much explosive firearms like the Exploding Crossbow and Grenade Pistol. However, this might not be appropriate to players that prefer stealth or precision shooting. Though I don’t think these weapons will have much of an impact on Terminids, they should be useful against the Automatons’ thicker armor.
Sadly, the armor sets doesn’t have any special passive perks. Besides the electrical conduit armor exclusive to Cutting Edge, all armor sets in this Warbond feature passives found on other armor sets in existing Warbonds.
How to unlock the Premium Warbond in Helldivers 2?
To access the Premium Warbond, players must purchase it using Super Credits, a currency that can be obtained either by playing the game and completing specific objectives or through real-money transactions. The initial premium Warbond available at the game’s launch is called “Steeled Veterans,” and it requires 1,000 Super Credits to unlock.
Is the Premium Warbond Worth it in Helldivers 2?
For dedicated Helldivers 2 players who spend a lot of time in the game and want to keep up with the all the meta weapons, the Premium Warbond could be considered a worthwhile investment. However, for casual players or those who prefer not to grind for in-game currency, having access to premium content isn’t really necessary. The base game already offers a rich experience, and the standard Warbond provides plenty of progression.
As such, the Premium Warbond content keeps getting better with each release, so if you’re the type that wants to maximize your Helldivers 2 experience and either don’t mind the grind or the expense, the Premium Warbond is well worth it. For everyone else, it might be a nice-to-have rather than a must-have.
Do Premium Warbonds Expire?
No, Premium Warbonds are permanent. This means that you don’t have to worry about a time limit since it won’t leave the shop and can be purchased and progressed at your own pace. However, a premium Warbond does not grant access to future premium Warbonds. Each Warbond is a separate purchase, encouraging players to stay engaged and continuously invest in the game’s evolving content.
