Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond costs 1,000 Super Credits and 672 Medals, featuring the Sickle, Blitzer, Punisher Plasma, stun grenades, and arc-resistant armor, plus ~300 SC back.

Dropping 1,000 Super Credits (about ten bucks) gets you into this Warbond, but the real cost is time. If you're short on Credits and don't feel like waiting on lucky pickups, some players just top up through marketplaces like U4GM so they can get back to playing instead of counting pennies. To fully clear all three pages you'll need 672 Medals, and that's the part people underestimate. Depending on difficulty, squad speed, and whether you're knocking out major orders, it can be a chunky 5–15 hours. The medal spread is simple: page 1 takes 93, page 2 takes 217, and page 3 takes 362. You do earn roughly 300 Super Credits back while progressing, so it's not a total sink.

Page 1: The "never reload" habit

The first page is worth opening for the LAS-16 Sickle alone. It's 20 Medals and it changes how you think about ammo. Heat weapon, no magazines, no "who stole the resupply" arguments. You just need the discipline to swap before it cooks itself. On bug worlds, it's a comfort pick because it melts light trash and keeps your stratagem slots free for bigger problems. You'll also unlock the Localization Confusion booster here. It doesn't make missions quiet, but it can take the edge off those moments where spawns feel like they're piling on for fun.

Page 2: Big power, bigger risks

Page two is where the toys get spicy: the ARC-12 Blitzer and the SG-8P Punisher Plasma. The Blitzer throws chain lightning through a wide cone, so crowds just… stop being crowds. The catch is obvious the first time you tag a teammate. Friendly fire happens fast, so you've got to play wider angles and call your shots. The Punisher Plasma is similar vibes—huge payoff, easy self-punishment. Those explosive lobs stagger well in tight approaches, but a bad bounce or a panic shot can ruin your own day. This tier also hands out the LAS-7 Dagger pistol and G-23 Stun Grenades, which are quietly excellent when you need space to reload, revive, or just breathe.

Page 3: Armour for arc-heavy squads

The last page leans hard into armour, with the EX-20, EX-26, and EX-30 sets all sharing Electrical Conduit. That passive cuts incoming arc damage by 95%, and it's not just a nice-to-have. If your squad runs Arc Throwers, or you're the one who keeps getting clipped by "helpful" lightning, it's basically insurance. It also feels like future-proofing—if more beam or arc-style enemy weapons show up, you'll be glad you unlocked it.

Is it worth it for your credits

I'd land on a solid B+ overall. If you hate ammo droughts, the Sickle will pay you back immediately, and the Blitzer can be downright nasty on 7+ once you learn safe spacing. If you live for heavy explosives and big booms, you might prefer saving for newer Warbond drops instead. The good news is there's no expiry pressure, so you can chip away at medals whenever you feel like it, then round out your loadout later with Helldivers 2 Items when you're ready to fine-tune what you're bringing into the next dive.
