Ever wanted to suit up like an ODST in Helldivers 2? Now you can. This guide breaks down how to get the iconic ODST armor in a simple, human-like way. You’ll learn what it is, how to unlock it, and why it could be such a great addition to your gameplay and your look. Let’s dive in.
What is the ODST armor?
- ODST stands for “Obedient Democracy Support Troopers”—a playful take on Halo’s Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.
- In Helldivers 2, this collaboration brings two armor sets: A-9 Helljumper and A-35 Recon.
- Both come with a special passive ability called “Feet First”, which:
- Makes your steps quieter,
- Prevents leg injuries,
- Boosts how far you can detect points of interest (by about 30%).
- Plus, you get classic Halo-inspired weapons, cool capes, vehicle patterns, player cards, a “Rookie” title, and more—an immersive set of rewards built for stealth and style.
How do you actually get the ODST armor?
- Purchase the Legendary Warbond.
- Head to the in-game Acquisitions Center (the Warbond shop).
- The Legendary Warbond costs 1,500 Super Credits.
- Note: You can’t use Premium Warbond Tokens to unlock it—you need to pay in credits.
- Earn the pieces gradually.
- Once you’ve unlocked the Warbond, it opens up a tiered progression path.
- You unlock items by spending Medals, which you earn in missions.
- The Warbond includes three pages of content. Each page has armor, weapons, and cosmetics you unlock by meeting a medals threshold.
