Killzone crossover lands in Helldivers 2 on Xbox – what’s inside

Table of Content

Killzone is officially crossing over into Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X|S. In an announcement on the official Xbox Wire, Super Earth detailed a Killzone Legendary Warbond bringing Helghast-themed gear to Xbox players. The post frames this as the first deployment of PlayStation-forged Killzone content for the game’s Xbox community. It follows a previous crossover, the Helldivers 2 x Halo: ODST Legendary Warbond. The announcement does not include a release date.

What the Killzone Warbond adds

The Warbond focuses on Helghast-inspired equipment. Below are the headline items confirmed in the official post – centered on core loadout choices and survivability.

Primary weapons: Helghast staples

• StA-52 Assault Rifle – an assault rifle equipped with a high-capacity drum magazine for sustained fire.
• PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle – a burst-firing precision rifle designed for long-range engagements.
• StA-11 SMG – a high rate-of-fire submachine gun tuned for close-quarters combat.

Armor sets and passive ability

• AC-1 Dutiful – medium-tier armor with the classic Helghast look, including glowing red optics and an integrated breathing apparatus.
• AC-2 Obedient – light-tier armor emphasizing mobility, with a distinctive multi-lens visor.
• Passive: Acclimated – provides 50% resistance to fire, gas, acid and electrical damage.

The post revisits key beats from Killzone lore. In the 24th-century conflict between the Interplanetary Strategic Alliance and the Helghast Empire, the Helghast emerged as one of gaming’s most recognizable antagonists. Once human settlers, they were exiled to Helghan after the First Extrasolar War; the planet’s toxic conditions reshaped them into tougher, more resilient fighters who built a militaristic empire. That identity informs the gear’s visual style and battlefield role in Helldivers 2.

Availability and progression

Super Earth notes the Warbond is coming to Xbox Series X|S. The announcement does not share a release date. As with other Legendary Warbonds, the gear is integrated into the game’s Warbond progression and is earned through play.

Final Takeaway – More tools, new identity

For Xbox squads, the Killzone crossover means expanded loadouts across close, mid and long range, plus a notable survivability boost via Acclimated. If your team needs flexible roles and a distinct visual identity, the Helghast kit adds both without changing Helldivers 2’s core loop – more options to solve the same hard problems across the galaxy.
