Helldivers 2 Killzone Warbond Returning | How To Unlock All The Rewards?

The Killzone Warbond returns to Helldivers 2 on December 18th at 10:00 UTC. In this article, we explain what the returning Warbond contains, how to unlock it, and whether it is worth spending Super Credits.

The Warbond becomes a permanent Legendary Warbond after release. All rewards are identical to the original crossover launch from last year.

What Is the Returning Killzone Warbond in Helldivers 2?

The Killzone Warbond is a crossover content pack originally released in December last year during a collaboration with the Killzone franchise. During its initial launch, the Warbond was only available for a limited time in the Superstore.

Because availability was restricted, many players could not unlock all rewards. The December 18th return resolves this issue by making the Warbond permanently accessible.

When Does the Killzone Warbond Return?

The Killzone Warbond returns on Thursday, December 18th at 10:00 UTC. After appearing in the Superstore, it will remain permanently available as a Legendary Warbond.

No rotation window or removal date has been announced. Once unlocked, all items remain permanently tied to the account.

How Do You Unlock the Killzone Warbond?

Unlocking the Killzone Warbond requires approximately 1500 Super Credits. The higher cost is due to its crossover status.

Unlock Conditions

1. If premium Killzone items were unlocked during the original event, the Warbond unlocks automatically.
2. If some items were earned previously, the Warbond must be purchased, but earned items unlock without medals.
3. If no prior progress exists, the Warbond requires full purchase with Super Credits.

Players who lack sufficient Super Credits can obtain them through Gamer Choice instead of farming them manually.

Are the Killzone Weapons Effective?

The Killzone weapons are functional but not top-tier. Each weapon fills a specific role rather than outperforming meta options.

StA-52 Assault Rifle

The StA-52 deals 90 damage per shot, has a 56-round magazine, and fires at 790 rounds per minute. Light armor penetration limits performance against armored targets.

PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle

The PLAS-39 fires three-round bursts dealing a combined 1050 damage. Optimal performance is achieved with partial charge shots.

The weapon performs especially well against Illuminate enemies, particularly when landing headshots.

StA-11 SMG

The StA-11 SMG suffers from range-based damage falloff following recent balance changes. Performance declines sharply at medium distances.

What Does the Acclimated Armor Passive Do?

The Acclimated passive provides 50% resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electrical damage. Fire and acid resistance provide the most consistent value.

Electrical resistance is less impactful due to increased bleeding damage from electrocution effects.

Is the Killzone Warbond Worth Unlocking?

The Killzone Warbond is valuable for cosmetic variety and collection purposes. It is not required for competitive performance.

Players with limited Super Credits may prefer Warbonds that offer stronger combat upgrades. Long-term players can unlock this Warbond without significant trade-offs.

Summary

The Killzone Warbond returns on December 18th as a permanent Legendary Warbond. It includes weapons, armor, and cosmetics from the original crossover release. Unlocking costs 1500 Super Credits unless prior ownership conditions apply.
