Helldivers 2 gamers are crossing their fingers and toes for an official Halo collaboration, however not everybody’s on the identical facet of the galactic conflict desk.
Helldivers 2 is coming to Xbox Sequence X|S on August 26 – PlayStation appears to be doing a cheeky commerce for fellow sci-fi shooter Gears of Battle, whose remaster is hitting PS5 on the identical day – so divers took the chance to pine for a Halo crossover within the sport. Helldivers 2 acquired a warbond themed after Killzone, in any case, so there’s already a precedent for collabs.
All this week, divers deployed onto the sport’s maiin subreddit to share their wildest goals. Some even created mock ups for the potential warbond containing ODST (who’re principally helldivers in all however title) armor, weapons just like the vitality sword, and a poncho modelled after Grasp Chief’s walks throughout the desert.

Factor is, there have been loads of naysayers, too. It is comprehensible. In a sport the place you play as considerably fragile, ragdolling troopers going through immeasurable odds, you do not wish to appear to be the hulking Grasp Chief, who’s canonically the universe’s best weapon.
One explicit publish reminded of us that Arrowhead boss Johan Pilestedt really put to relaxation these fears months in the past, although. In a Discord message, Pilestedt principally implied that something extra superior than Warhammer 40K grunts had been in all probability off the desk, together with the Grasp Chief and Doom Man, however Starship Troopers and ODSTs had been a-okay.
For anybody not acquainted with Halo, ODSTs (orbital drop shock troopers) are troopers who’re nonetheless stupidly courageous sufficient to struggle aliens a number of occasions their dimension, however they don’t seem to be genetically enhanced like Spartans. That places them extra in keeping with Helldivers – they even deploy from the sky in little pods, as effectively. See, it is excellent.
