Is Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition worth it?

Like many games, Helldivers 2 has different editions with different bonuses. But is the Super Citizen Edition worth it? We’ve given our verdict.

Helldivers 2 offers a wealth of customizable options for your Helldiver, including Armor, Cape, and Helmets, featuring a range of styles and colors—some of which are provided in the Super Citizen Edition.

If you’re on the fence about whether you want to splash out on the Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition, check out our verdict here.

What does the Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition include?

The bonuses for purchasing the Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition are largely cosmetic, though you will receive access to the “Steeled Veterans” Premium Warbond. The full bonuses for the Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition are:

• DP-53 Savior of the Free Armor Set
• Will of the People Cape
• MP-98 Knight Weapon
• Super Citizen Status
• Stratagem Hero Ship Game
• Steeled Veterans Premium Warbond access

DP-53 Savior of the Free armor and Will of the People cape

More than cosmetics, both of these items serve role-playing and immersion purposes. They’ll also be great stylish additions, even though neither gives you a distinctive edge.

MP-98 Knight, Super Citizen status, and Strategem Hero Ship

These three additions will make you more formidable in combat. The MP-98 Knight is a fast-firing defensive powerhouse. The Super Citizen status gives you a marker of honor, and the Stratagem Hero Ship opens up new strategic options. Together, they can help you change the outcome of the battle.

Of the bonuses, only the MP-98 Knight Weapon makes a difference overall because you’ll have a different weapon from the start you can choose to take into battle, while the Armor Set, Title, and Cape are merely cosmetic. Access to the Steeled Veterans Premium Warbond opens up a wealth of more cosmetic options for you to earn. In truth, though, the standard Warbonds at launch provide enough to focus on, and I haven’t seen anything that has particularly caught my eye in the Premium Warbonds section.

Similarly, the cosmetic items haven’t gripped me. I much prefer to try and make my Helldiver look like a Stormtrooper, and the Stratagem Hero Ship Game is fun for a couple of tries, but much like a real-world arcade machine, it’s now just collecting dust.

If there’s anything you like from the preorder bonuses, or if you’ve got your eyes set on something in the Premium Warbonds, purchasing the Super Citizen Edition may be tempting. But if that’s not the case, you should probably save your money.
