Arrowhead Game Studios has announced an update to the Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2 and its equivalent upgrade, set to arrive on August 26. This update will replace the Steeled Veterans Warbond with a Warbond Token, which can be redeemed for any Premium Warbond. The introduction of the token comes in response to community feedback, addressing the issue where players who bought the Steeled Veterans Warbond—either via in-game purchases or the Super Citizen Edition upgrade—might accidentally purchase it a second time.​

What Are Warbonds in Helldivers 2?​

Warbonds function similarly to traditional battle passes, featuring tiered reward systems that provide access to extra content such as new equipment, cosmetic items, emotes, and in-game currency. However, unlike typical battle passes, they are not timed, enabling players to progress through the tiers at their own speed. Premium Warbonds can be unlocked by purchasing in-game currency (Super Credits) with real money or by earning free Super Credits through gameplay in Helldivers 2.​

How the Warbond Token Works in the Update​

The August 26 update will add the Warbond Token as a third method to obtain Premium Warbonds, taking the place of the Steeled Veterans Warbond in the Super Citizen Edition and its equivalent upgrade. As stated by Katherin Baskin, Arrowhead Game Studios' Social Media and Community Manager, players who purchase or already own the Super Citizen Edition or the upgrade will receive the new Warbond Token upon their first login to Helldivers 2 and accessing the shiphub. Once players confirm the token is in their inventory, all unpurchased Premium Warbonds will display a "Claim Premium Warbond" option instead of the usual "Buy Premium Warbond".​

Warbond Token: Exclusively from Super Citizen Edition Upgrade​

Currently, there are no plans to make the Warbond Token a purchasable in-game currency in Helldivers 2. The only way to get this new currency is by buying the Super Citizen Edition Upgrade. This upcoming change further demonstrates Arrowhead Game Studios' dedication to supporting Helldivers 2 and valuing player feedback. Most recently, the June 24 update fixed several weapon bugs, including a problem with mounted weapons that prevented firing after using healing stims, as reported by players.​

Choosing the Right Warbond for the Token​

For new players starting with the Helldivers 2: Super Citizen Edition, or veteran players who opt for the upgrade, deciding which Warbond to use their valuable Warbond Token on could be a challenging decision. Each Warbond offers unique cosmetics and gear with specific tactical advantages. Whether using a Warbond Token or Super Credits, it's advisable to consider the rewards each Warbond provides before redeeming. In any case, the Warbond Token grants players more freedom, which is at the core of Helldivers 2.​
