Collaboration launches on August 12, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Players will receive the Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond, featuring Cadian Kasrkin weapons, two armor sets, the True Grit passive skill, and themed cosmetics.
One key limitation to keep in mind: Premium Warbond Tokens are not valid for purchasing Castellan’s Creed. Super Credits are required. Arrowhead Game Studios hasn’t yet revealed the official price, but the bundle is tentatively priced at 1,500 Super Credits, similar to previous Legendary Warbonds.

Castellan’s Creed Release Date and Purchase Terms
The Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond will be available in Helldivers 2 on August 12, 2026. Access is announced for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC simultaneously, so owners of each platform won’t have to wait for a separate release.
The exact launch time is still unknown. The price of 1,500 Super Credits also remains tentative: this amount has been mentioned by industry publications and reference sources, but Arrowhead hasn’t officially confirmed it.
However, one condition is already known for certain. The Premium Warbond Token, which allows you to open the standard Premium Warbond, cannot be used here. Castellan’s Creed must be purchased separately with Super Credits.
The Warbond itself contains three pages of rewards. This is not just a cosmetic set, but a full-fledged themed bundle with four weapons, two armor variants, and a series of vehicle paint jobs.
Castellan’s Creed Weapons, Armor, and Cosmetics
The Warbond content is built around the equipment of the Cadian Kasrkin from Warhammer 40,000. The Hell Marines will have access to a ranged weapon, a meltagun, a blast mine, and armor with a new passive effect.

Complete item list with practical value
The overlapping names of the cloaks and emblems can be confusing: Camo Cloak and City Fighter’s Resolve are presented in two categories, but they are different rewards.
Castellan’s Green, on the other hand, unites several objects under a single visual style. The color scheme will be allowed on the FRV, Exosuit, Shuttle, and Hellpod, so the themed look will be retained not only on the character.
True Grit speeds up support weapon reloads.
The True Grit passive skill adds +20 to weapon handling and increases support weapon reload speed by 30%. This benefit applies to both armor sets from Castellan’s Creed: the medium TG-8 Sharpshooter and the heavy TG-122 Demo-Trooper.
The handling bonus should make the weapon more responsive when aiming and changing fire directions. The accelerated reload speed is especially useful for heavy weapons, where downtime between bursts directly impacts squad survivability.
True Grit will be most beneficial for support weapons that require long or regular reloads:
-
Heavy machine guns will be able to return to combat more quickly after running out of ammunition;
-
Automatic cannons will experience fewer dangerous pauses between firing cycles;
-
Grenade launchers will be more usable in protracted engagements;
-
The 40-K Meltagun logically pairs with Warbond armor, although its exact effectiveness will become clear after release.
The TG-8 Sharpshooter is better suited to players who value mobility and frequently change positions. The TG-122 Demo-Trooper is designed for a slower style: maintaining direction, surviving incoming damage, and handling heavy weapons faster.
The choice here is based not on the strength of the passive skill—it’s the same—but on the weight of the armor. A mobile build will allow for more active range control, while a heavier build will provide more room for error in close combat.
The Kasrkin connect Warhammer 40,000 with the world of Helldivers 2
Castellan’s Creed is inspired by the Cadian Kasrkin, the elite fighters of the Astra Militarum. This highly trained unit uses reinforced armor, hotshot lasguns, and specialized weaponry for high-demand operations. This choice seems more natural for Helldivers 2 than the introduction of Space Marines. Helldivers remain ordinary people sent against superior galactic foes. Kasrkin are closer to them in scale, role, and combat style.
The collaboration has also been integrated into the game’s lore. The Warbond will be released as a tribute to the Helldivers who fell defending the peaceful planet of Chara during the First Galactic War.
The connection to Cadia is also clear without directly copying the history of Warhammer 40,000. Cadia has become one of the most recognizable fallen worlds in the universe, and the theme of defenders’ steadfastness is supported by both the name “Castellan’s Creed” and the title “Still Standing.”
