Arrowhead Game Studios has officially revealed the full contents of the long-awaited Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 collaboration, with the themed Warbond set to launch on August 12.

First announced during the Warhammer Skulls showcase earlier this year, the crossover brings a selection of iconic Warhammer 40K weapons, armour, and cosmetics inspired by the Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard) to Super Earth.

The Legendary Warbond includes three signature weapons:

  • R/40-K Hot-Shot – A hot-shot las marksman rifle.
  • P/40-K Bolt Pistol – The iconic bolt sidearm.
  • 40-K Meltagun Stratagem – A powerful anti-armour beam weapon.

Players will also gain access to two armour sets inspired by legendary Imperial Guard regiments:

  • TG-8 Sharpshooter – Based on the Cadian Shock Troops.
  • TG-122 Demo Trooper – Inspired by the elite Kasrkin.

Rounding out the Warbond is the G/40-K Meltamine, a throwable anti-armour proximity mine, along with a collection of Warhammer-themed vehicle patterns and cosmetics.

Rather than focusing on the genetically enhanced Space Marines, the crossover leans into the Imperial Guard, a fitting choice given the similarities between the Astra Militarum and Helldivers ordinary soldiers repeatedly deployed into overwhelming battles against impossible odds.

The Helldivers 2 x Warhammer 40,000 Legendary Warbond launches on August 12 for all players.
