A stack of shiny new medals added to my Helldivers profile overnight. They tackled the toughest challenges for me, making my service record look stellar.
Rewards
What can you buy with all those Medals you’ve earned (or are planning to order)? In Helldivers 2, they are spent in the Warbond system to unlock various rewards that enhance your gameplay and style. Here’s a quick rundown of the rewards you can claim with Medals:
- Powerful Weapons & Armor – New primary and secondary weapons, heavy weapons and body armor sets are unlocked via Warbonds using them. These aren’t just for show; each gun or armor piece can significantly change your playstyle by giving you more firepower or protection. These upgrades are often game-changers for tough missions.
- Stratagem Boosters & Support Gear – They also unlock special boosters and support items exclusive to Warbond progression. Think along the lines of passive upgrades that reduce your Stratagem cooldowns or new support gadgets that give you an edge. These Warbond exclusives can turn the tide of battle when used wisely.
- Cosmetics & Helldiver Flair – It’s not all about firepower; sometimes you just want to look super while saving Super Earth. Warbonds offer cosmetic rewards like unique armor skins, helmet patterns, emotes and victory poses. Show off a golden armor suit or other fancy gear – with enough Medals you can deck out your Helldiver in true democratic style.
Even a veteran Helldiver deserves to claim some swag for their efforts. With Medals you basically unlock the best the game has to offer: new ways to gear up, customize and dominate the battlefield. Every piece of gear or cosmetic you unlock with Medals will make your Helldiver that much more prepared (and awesome-looking) for the next drop-in mission.
