A big change is coming to Helldivers 2, and it is great news for players who haven’t purchased the Super Citizen Edition yet.
Previously the appeal of the Super Citizen Edition was that it came with a unique set of armor and a fancy SMG, as well as included the game’s first Premium Warbond. Now that there are over 13 Warbonds to choose from.
Starting August 26, Arrowhead is replacing the included Steeled Veterans Warbond in both the Super Citizen Edition and Super Citizen Edition Upgrade with a brand new Warbond Token.
So what is a Warbond Token?
The Warbond Token lets you unlock any Premium Warbond currently available in Helldivers 2, not just Steeled Veterans. This token will be granted automatically if you purchase either of the Super Citizen Editions after August 26.
This update prevents players from accidentally double-dipping and buying Steeled Veterans twice (once in-game and once through the edition upgrade). Arrowhead says this change is about delivering better value and avoiding redundant purchases.
Can I just buy a Warbond Token on its own?
Nope. There are no plans to offer Warbond Tokens as a standalone purchase. All Premium Warbonds will still be available individually in the store, just like they always have.
Should I upgrade now or wait?
If you already own Standard Edition and have not purchased Steeled Veterans, you have two options:
- Buy the Super Citizen Edition Upgrade now, and you’ll get Steeled Veterans.
- Wait until August 26, and you can choose any Premium Warbond instead.
If you already bought Steeled Veterans and want to upgrade, definitely wait until August. That way, you won’t waste credits on a Warbond you already own.
Already own the Super Citizen Edition? Then you’re good, the change won’t affect you, and you’ll keep Steeled Veterans as part of your bundle.
How do I use the Warbond Token?
Once you log in after August 26 and reach the ship hub, your token will be automatically added to your account. To use it:
- Open the Premium Warbonds section from the menu.
- If a token is available, you’ll see “Claim Premium Warbond” instead of “Buy Premium Warbond”.
- Click it, confirm your selection, and you’re all set.
Final Breakdown
Here’s what each edition will look like after the update:
- Standard Edition – No changes
- Super Citizen Edition – Comes with a Warbond Token instead of Steeled Veterans
- Super Citizen Edition Upgrade – Also includes a Warbond Token instead of Steeled Veterans
