In Helldivers 2, Warbonds serve as the game’s seasonal passes, and players can pick up crucial weapon upgrades by spending Requisition medals there. But there’s also a Premium Warbond with special weapons of its own.

The Premium Warbond isn’t instantly available to everyone, but there’s one weapon near the end that’s worth the price.

How to access Premium Warbond weapons in Helldivers 2

To unlock the Premium Warbond weapons in Helldivers 2, you need to purchase the Premium Warbond with 1,000 Super Credits (SC,) or purchase the game’s Super Citizen Edition bundle. Though new players may want to wait just a little bit before buying the game.

You can get Super Credits in-game via two methods. First, you can unlock them in the standard free Warbond with Requisition medals earned from completing missions and objectives. Each page on the main Warbond has the option to buy 100 Super Credits, but you need to spend more medals to unlock each page. For those willing to put in the time, you can get 1,000 Super Credits just through the basic Warbond for roughly 1,300 Requisition medals.

Super Credits can also be found at bunkers and points of interests during missions. On missions where you’re given plenty of time, make sure to check your map and visit as many points of interest as you can. The bunkers with two buttons on the side of a door will need two players to unlock.

For the more impatient players, you can also purchase 1,000 Super Credits in-game for $10.

You can get the Premium Warbond in Helldivers 2 from the Acquisition Centre for 1,000 SC. If you’re on PS5, hold down the Triangle button in the Acquisition Centre to get to the Premium Warbond.

On PC, it’s easier to inspect the Warbonds tab of the Acquisition Centre. Pressing R on your ship will get you to the Acquisition Centre while you’ll need to press the Square button for the same interaction on PS5.

Surprisingly enough, this has been one of the harder interactions in Helldivers 2, as fans have been discussing how they can get the Premium Warbond on Reddit. In future patches, Helldivers 2 could add more directional tips around the UI to ensure players don’t get lost in the menus.

All Premium Warbond weapons in Helldivers 2

There are currently four weapons that can be bought with Requisition medals in the Premium Warbond.

  • AR-243 Liberator Explosive: An explosive version of the standard Liberator assault rifle, but one with less ammo clip capacity and a much slower fire rate.
  • P-4 Senator: A high-damage revolver that penetrates light armor that’s a bit slow to reload but highly powerful and accurate.
  • SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary: A fiery version of the Breaker shotgun that lights enemies on fire.
  • JAR-5 Dominator: Explosive semi-auto rifle that penetrates medium armor, and one of the best guns in the game.
