Thought more impossible than solving intergenerational economic inequality this week, but unlike negative gearing, Arrowhead is here to look after everyone and as a cheeky bonus, end the console wars that have raged for decades by spreading Managed Democracy.

Coming alongside the Xbox release on August 26th, after initially being teased at the end of the Helldivers 2 Xbox reveal trailer, PlayStation have announced that Helldivers 2 will feature a new Halo ODST themed Legendary Warbond.

And it’s beautiful. The trailer is embedded below:

The Warbond, purchasable with 1,500 Super Credits (that can be earned in-game) will feature armour sets, weapons, banners, capes and more! The PlayStation blog post does stress that the Premium Warbond token cannot purchase this:

A quick heads-up: Legendary Warbonds aren’t compatible with the new Premium Warbond Token launching August 26. So if you’re planning to deploy with ODST gear, make sure your Super Credits are locked and loaded.

The lore around the new content:

Enter The Obedient Democracy Support Troopers (ODST), AKA The Helljumpers! This new equipment set from the Ministry of Defense will give your Helldivers the look of the fabled unit every Super Earth citizen had on their school lunch box as kids. Jam-packed with iconic weaponry, armor, patterns and more.

Featured weapons from Halo:

• MA5C Assault Rifle
• M6C/SOCOM Pistol
• M90A Shotgun
• M7S SMG

Armour sets:

• A-9 Helljumper Armor Set
• A-35 Recon Armor Set

Armour passive:

• Feet First passive
  • Make less noise from movement
  • Range when finding points of interest increased by 30%
  • Immune to leg injuries

There are also Halo themed (green) skins for the FRV, EXO Suit, Shuttle and Hellpod, capes, banners and a player title “Rookie”.

This is sure to offer a massive incentive to Xbox players who have kept an eye on Helldivers 2 and waited patiently for something that just, feels impossible.

The Galactic war rages on… Countless Helldivers have laid down their lives to protect Managed Democracy. The call was put out for more recruits, and it’s been answered.

If Microsoft and Sony can deliver Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST maybe there is hope for intergenerational economic inequality after all….
