The Helldivers 2 Killzone crossover includes two free guns, a free armor set, and several premium cosmetics and other items. All this gear is taken straight from the villainous Helghast faction seen in the Killzone game series, including their weaponry and highly recognizable assault infantry gear. You can buy some of these items with Super Credits via the Superstore, but no Helldiver will ever turn down free guns, so here's everything you need to know about the Killzone collaboration in Helldivers 2.
All Helldivers 2 Killzone items and how to get them
The Helldivers 2 Killzone collab includes 12 unique items, including two armor sets and three guns. Developer Arrowhead Studios has changed how these Helldivers 2 items are being distributed, however, with all players being awarded the following Killzone crossover items for free – as such, you should be notified that they have been unlocked upon logging in:
- StA-11 SMG: A high capacity, high fire rate sub-machine gun used by the Helghast in various Killzone titles.
- PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle: A sniper weapon that must be charged up to fire powerful and precise bursts, just as it appears in Killzone: Mercenary.
- AC-2 Obedient Helmet: Helmet reminiscent of Helghast snipers.
- AC-2 Obedient Armor: Light armor that comes with the Acclimated passive, granting 50% damage resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electricity.
- Defender Of Our Dream Cape
- Defender Of Our Dream Player Card
Six other items are available in the Superstore only and must be paid for with your hard-earned Helldivers 2 Super Credits. Additionally, they're only available until December 28, 2024. On this date, the superstore's stock will rotate like usual and will become unavailable, although Arrowhead has said they will be looking for a way to bring them back permanently. Here's what you can buy and for how much:
- StA-52 Assault Rifle = 615 Super Credits
- A high capacity, high fire rate assault rifle used by Helghast soldiers in Killzone.
- AC-1 Dutiful Helmet = 310 Super Credits
- Helmet reminiscent of the standard Helghast assault infantry.
- AC-1 Dutiful Armor = 500 Super Credits
- Medium armor that comes with the Acclimated passive, granting 50% damage resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electricity.
- Strength In Our Arms Cape = 310 Super Credits
- Strength in Our Arms Player Card = 90 Super Credits
- Assault Infantry Title = 150 Super Credits
As well as these free and premium Helldivers 2 Killzone crossover items, Arrowhead Studios has also teased that there is an additional themed reward for all Helldivers that be given out based on success in the Galactic War. That's very vague in all regards, so it's best to knuckle down and get on with those Major Orders if you want extra rewards!
Are the Helldivers 2 Killzone items worth it?
Unless you're a massive Killzone fan or have mountains of Super Credits to spend, I think you can safely skip buying the premium Killzone items in Helldivers 2 as they're very pricey for what they are – buying everything here costs almost as much as two entire Warbonds at 1975 Super Credits, and that's without factoring in the 300SC you could unlock per warbond.
In my opinion, the free SMG and sniper rifle are more interesting than the StA-52 assault rifle, which feels marginally better than the default Liberator and is similar to its carbine variant available in the Helldivers 2 Viper Commandos Warbond. Furthermore, the AC-2 Obedient armor set offers the same passive perk as the premium AC-1 Dutiful set, while also being light armor – some players may find this a lot more desirable when looking for the best Helldivers 2 armor!
