Helldivers 2 and Killzone Collide: Legendary Warbond Drops Worldwide — Find Your Exact Release Time

Back from the brink: the Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 crossover that vanished after backlash is returning December 18 as a full Legendary Warbond, putting the once-pulled Superstore gear back in players’ sights.

Remember when the Helldivers 2 x Killzone gear dropped and then got yanked? It’s finally coming back for real, and this time it’s not a blink-and-miss-it store tease. Arrowhead is relaunching the whole thing as a proper Legendary Warbond on December 18, bundling both waves from the messy 2024 rollout and throwing in new vehicle patterns for good measure.

What’s actually coming back (and what’s new)

The Legendary Warbond packs together everything from Wave 1 and Wave 2 of the original Killzone crossover, plus freshly added vehicle skins. If you joined the chaos late (or jumped in on Xbox this year), this is the first all-in-one shot at the full set instead of piecemeal store rotations.

Launch date, exact time, and how the rollout works

Arrowhead says the Killzone Legendary Warbond goes live simultaneously for everyone on Wednesday, December 18, 2025 at 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EST. If you want local conversions: Los Angeles 6:00 AM PST; New York 9:00 AM EST; Mexico City 8:00 AM CST; São Paulo 11:00 AM BRT; London 2:00 PM GMT; Paris 3:00 PM CET; Moscow 5:00 PM MSK; Dubai 6:00 PM GST; Mumbai 7:30 PM IST; Bangkok 9:00 PM ICT; Jakarta 9:00 PM WIB; Beijing 10:00 PM CST; Tokyo 11:00 PM JST; Sydney 1:00 AM AEDT on December 19; Auckland 3:00 AM NZDT on December 19. Different clocks, same global unlock. Server hiccups are rare but not impossible, so give it a few minutes of buffer if your timer hits zero and nothing pops. And yes, the original post had a countdown timer on it, but the only thing that matters is the time listed above.

Price and the make-good (nice touch, honestly)

The Legendary Warbond costs 1,500 Super Credits, the same price point used for the Halo: ODST crossover. More importantly, Arrowhead is making good on last year’s mess: if you bought even a single Killzone piece during the December 2024 Superstore debacle, you’re getting this entire Legendary Warbond at no extra cost. Anything you already purchased will also show up medal-unlocked.

Everything in the Killzone Legendary Warbond

• Weapons: StA-52 Assault Rifle (high-capacity drum mag for sustained fire); StA-11 SMG (close-range with a helical-feed magazine); PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle (precision burst-fire with a short charging delay)
• Armor: AC-1 Dutiful (medium) and AC-2 Obedient (light); Armor passive Acclimated (50% resistance to fire, gas, acid, and electrical damage)
• Capes: The Strength in Our Arms (pairs with AC-1 Dutiful) and Defender of Our Dream (pairs with AC-2 Obedient)
• Player cards: The Strength in Our Arms and Defender of Our Dream
• Title: Assault Infantry
• Vehicle patterns: Extrasolar Ash skins for the Exosuit, FRV, Hellpod, and Pelican

Why this matters if you’re on Xbox

A lot of Xbox players only jumped into Helldivers 2 in 2025, after the first Killzone run was already gone. With both waves back and the new vehicle patterns bundled in, this Legendary Warbond basically resets the board so you can actually complete the set instead of chasing leftovers.

Bottom line: bank your Super Credits, set an alarm for the global unlock, and maybe enjoy the rare instance of a publisher actually making a messy rollout right.
