The Helldivers 2 Cutting Edge Warbond battle pass is out, a new Premium pass that’ll allow players to spend medals on new weapons, armor and cosmetics, including unique guns like the Arc-12 Blitzer, Punisher Plasma shotgun, and the Stun Grenade. The whole vibe of the new Warbond is, appropriately enough to the name, all about cutting edge technology, with laser and plasma weapons replacing the more standard slugs and gunpowder.
Below we’ve got everything you need to know about the new Cutting Edge Warbond in Helldivers 2, including the cost to get it, the cost in medals - both collectively and for individual items - as well as some thoughts on the question… is it worth it to buy the battle pass in the first place?

How to get the Cutting Edge Warbond

Of course, Super Credits can be found during matches or purchased from the other two existing battle passes, so players might be able to earn that without having to spend any further money on Helldivers 2 - just keep in mind that while Credits can be found fairly frequently in-game, it’s at a real drip-feed rate, roughly 10 Credits per match (if you’re lucky).

Obviously above you can see what each individual item in the Cutting Edge battle pass is worth, but we’ve broken down the important details on how many medals you’ll need to actually complete it.
Of course, you don’t have to buy everything on there, being perfectly free to omit elements that don’t interest you, though generally just spending on the most functional items - weapons and armor - probably won’t be enough to unlock the later pages, meaning you’ll have to buy a few capes or player cards.

We’ve yet to really dig into the Warbond and the relative power of the weapons and equipment it offers, but practically -yes, all the Warbonds in Helldivers 2 are arguably worth it, as you can get them for free and there isn’t much else to aim for long-term. Like we said, you can earn the Credits for yourself free in game, so players can just play normally and invest in the Cutting Edge pass when they reach that amount of credits, especially considering thatnone of the passes are time sensitive and risk running out,so you can take as long as you need to save up or make the choice.
Whether it’s more worth saving up for than the Steeled Veterans pass, that we’re still working out, though frankly the disappointing weapons available in that we’d be surprised if Cutting Edge is worse…
