The Warhammer 40K crossover in Helldivers 2 arrives as a single Legendary Warbond called Castellan’s Creed, and it carries two new armor sets modeled on the Astra Militarum. Both are worn into battle the same way, both use the same passive, and both live behind one purchase. Here is exactly what they are and how you pull them into your loadout.
Quick answer: Buy the Castellan’s Creed Legendary Warbond for 1,500 Super Credits from the Acquisition Center on your ship, then spend Medals in the Warbond pages to unlock the TG-122 Demo-Trooper (heavy) and TG-8 Sharpshooter (medium) armor sets.
The two Castellan’s Creed armor sets
Castellan’s Creed ships with exactly two armor sets. One is built for the front line and one is built for range, and both draw their look from Kasrkin carapace armor rather than Space Marines. Arrowhead has ruled out playable Astartes, so these are human soldiers in Imperial Guard styling.
| Armor set | Class | Role |
|---|---|---|
| TG-122 Demo-Trooper | Heavy | Inspired by the Charan Colonial Guard, built to hold ground and keep fighting under heavy fire. |
| TG-8 Sharpshooter | Medium | Designed for marksmen, favoring mobility and accuracy to lay down suppressive fire. |
The Demo-Trooper leans into survivability, which pairs well with aggressive, close-range and anti-armor play. The Sharpshooter trades that bulk for movement, making it the pick for long-range positioning and bot missions where you want to stay accurate at distance.
True Grit passive on both sets
Both armor sets carry the same passive skill, True Grit. It increases weapon reload speed by 30% and improves weapon ergonomics by 20, so you reload faster and swap between targets more quickly. That reload bonus works directly with the Warbond’s own support weapon, so the passive is more than cosmetic if you build around the included gear.
Note: True Grit does not reduce recoil, so precision weapons and heavy guns handle the same as always on the kickback side. The gain here is speed of reloading and target swapping, not stability.
How to get the Castellan’s Creed Warbond
The Warbond is not handed out for free. You buy access with Super Credits, then unlock individual items, including the two armor sets, by spending Medals across its pages.
Once an armor set is unlocked, it becomes available in your Armory to equip immediately. The Warbond itself is permanent, so there is no expiry window and no pressure to finish every page in one session.
What else comes in the Warbond
The armor is the headline draw, but Castellan’s Creed is a full Imperial Guard loadout rather than a cosmetic drop. Knowing what shares the pages with the two sets helps you plan how many Medals to save.
| Item | Type |
|---|---|
| R/40-K Hot-Shot Marksman Rifle | Primary weapon (lasgun-style precision rifle) |
| P/40-K Bolt Pistol | Secondary weapon |
| G/40-K Meltamine | Throwable proximity mine |
| 40-K Meltagun | Support weapon |
| Capes, player cards, title | Cosmetics |
| Castellans Green patterns | Vehicle customization for FRV, EXO Suit, Shuttle, and Hellpod |
The Meltagun is the reason the armor passive matters. Pairing the TG-122 Demo-Trooper with the Meltagun and Meltamine gives you a close-range anti-armor build, and the True Grit reload bonus keeps that support weapon firing more often.
The Warhammer 40K Legendary Warbond went live on August 12 as the third Legendary Warbond after Killzone and Halo 3: ODST. If you already have the Super Credits banked, both armor sets and the full grimdark kit are yours to grind toward the moment you buy in.
