How to Buy Super Credits in Helldivers 2 (Nov 2026)

You buy Super Credits in Helldivers 2 from the Super Credits tab of the Acquisition Center aboard your Super Destroyer, or as add-on packs on the PlayStation Store and the Xbox (Microsoft) Store; on PC the in-game purchase goes through your Steam account. As of November 11, 2026 the US prices are $1.99 for 150 credits, $4.99 for 375, $9.99 for 1,000, $19.99 for 2,100, $49.99 for 5,800 and $99.99 for 13,000. Below you will find each pack's bonus, the steps on every platform, what the credits actually buy and the free routes worth knowing before you spend.

We checked prices directly on the US PlayStation Store and Xbox Store listings on November 11, 2026, and cross-checked them with the Helldivers Wiki on wiki.gg (its Acquisition Center and Super Credits pages), the game's Steam store page and Arrowhead's announcements on Steam.

Super Credit Packs and Prices

Six packs are on sale. The two smallest are plain amounts, while the four larger ones include a bonus, which the PlayStation Store descriptions spell out as credits "awarded by the Super Earth Ministry of Defence." That bonus is why bigger packs give noticeably more credits per dollar.

Helldivers 2 Super Credit packs, US PlayStation Store, November 11, 2026

Pack	US price	Base plus bonus	Credits per dollar
150	$1.99	150, no bonus	about 75
375	$4.99	375, no bonus	about 75
1,000	$9.99	750 plus 250	about 100
2,100	$19.99	1,500 plus 600	about 105
5,800	$49.99	3,700 plus 2,100	about 116
13,000	$99.99	7,500 plus 5,500	about 130

The Xbox Store in the US showed the same prices for the 150, 375, 1,000, 2,100 and 5,800 packs on the same day. We could not find a US Xbox listing for the 13,000 pack in our search, though the wiki lists it at $99.99 alongside the others, so check the store on your console if you want that size. Prices outside the US differ: the wiki's Acquisition Center table, for example, shows the 1,000 pack at 9,99 euros and 7.99 pounds.

The 1,000 pack is the one most players buy, because it matches the price of a single Premium Warbond exactly. If you know you will buy several Warbonds over the coming months, a larger pack stretches each dollar further, but only buy what you expect to spend.

A few combinations are worth working out before you check out, using the US prices above:

• One Premium Warbond (1,000 credits): the 1,000 pack at $9.99 covers it exactly, with nothing left over.
• One Legendary Warbond (1,500 credits): the 2,100 pack costs $19.99 and leaves 600 spare, while stacking the 1,000, 375 and 150 packs gives 1,525 credits for $16.97. If you have no other plans for leftovers, the stacked option is cheaper.
• Two Premium Warbonds (2,000 credits): the 2,100 pack at $19.99 covers both and leaves 100, the same price as buying two 1,000 packs but with a little extra.
• Topping up a near-full balance: if you already hold several hundred credits from map pickups, the 150 or 375 pack may be all you need to reach 1,000.

Remember that a Premium Warbond returns 300 credits once you buy its credit stacks with medals, so a player who fully works through each one needs to buy less for the next.

Buying In-Game From the Acquisition Center

The in-game route works on every platform. The wiki describes the Acquisition Center as a menu you can open while on a Super Destroyer, with three tabs: Warbonds, Superstore and Super Credits.

1. Return to your ship after a mission, or launch the game and wait for your Super Destroyer to load.
2. Open the Acquisition Center and switch to the Super Credits tab.
3. Pick a pack. Payment runs through your platform account (PlayStation Network on PS5, your Microsoft account on Xbox, Steam on PC), using that account's wallet or saved payment method.
4. Confirm the purchase in the platform window that opens, then wait for the credits to reach your balance.
5. Spend them on the Warbonds or Superstore tabs whenever you are ready; there is no need to spend them straight away.

On PC the purchase window is a Steam window, and it needs the Steam overlay working for the game. Steam Community support threads going back to February 2024 show players stuck on a purchase window that never loaded or told that sales were disabled because the overlay was off. If that happens to you, check that the overlay is enabled for Helldivers 2 in your Steam library and restart the game before trying again.

Buying on PlayStation, Xbox and Steam

Console players have a second option: buying the packs as add-ons straight from the platform store, without opening the game first. Each pack page describes the credits as something you spend at the in-game Superstore on Warbonds and armor, so you will see them in your balance once you are back aboard your ship.

• PlayStation 5. Search the PlayStation Store for Helldivers 2 and open its add-ons, or search for the pack size you want. Each pack is a separate product with its own page and price.
• Xbox Series X|S. The packs are listed in the Xbox Store as add-ons that require the base game, sold separately. Helldivers 2 itself launched on Xbox Series X|S on August 26, 2025, according to Xbox Wire, which also notes that Warbonds require the base game, a paid purchase of Super Credits and game progression to unlock.
• PC (Steam). Credit packs are not sold as separate items on the Steam store page; you buy them from the Acquisition Center inside the game, and the charge is handled by Steam as described above. The game itself costs $39.99 on Steam in the US as of November 2026.

Stick to these three official storefronts. Arrowhead's July 9, 2026 announcement on Super Credits explains that it now watches for credits arriving at unrealistic rates and acts on the accounts involved, and it points anyone whose account seems wrong to Arrowhead Player Support. Buying through the official stores keeps your purchase history clean and gives you a receipt if anything goes wrong.

What Super Credits Buy

Credits are spent in two places. Premium Warbonds cost 1,000 credits each and Legendary Warbonds 1,500, while the Superstore sells armor and other gear, including a permanent catalog of items. The wiki's totals, last recalculated on October 20, 2026, put the full bill at 47,255 credits for a new player: 22 Premium Warbonds at 22,000, three Legendary Warbonds at 4,500 and 20,755 for the permanent Superstore catalog.

Warbonds also pay some of themselves back. Every Premium Warbond contains three stacks of 100 credits on its pages, unlocked with medals, so a 1,000-credit purchase returns 300 once you work through it. Legendary Warbonds have no credits on their pages. That means a player who keeps spending medals on credit stacks needs fewer paid credits over time, and our Warbond medals guide shows how many medals that takes.

The Steam store page lists a Premium Warbond Token in the game's deluxe edition, which unlocks a Premium Warbond without spending credits. Arrowhead's announcement for the Castellan's Creed Legendary Warbond notes that it cannot be claimed with that token, so plan on credits for Legendary content. If you are unsure which Warbond to buy first, the existing best Warbond guide compares them.

One thing credits do not buy is progression. Ranks, ship modules and access to harder missions all come from playing, so our guide to how difficulty unlocking works is still the path to the hardest content.

Earning Credits Before You Pay

Free credits add up faster than many players expect. The wiki says the free Helldivers Mobilize! Warbond holds 750 credits across its pages, and that across Mobilize and every Premium Warbond you can collect 6,450 credits for 1,116 medals. On missions, minor points of interest such as pods, cargo containers and bunkers hide stacks of 10 credits, very rarely 100, which are credited to the whole squad on pickup. Our Super Credits farm routes post lays out the fastest ways to sweep them, and the existing guide to getting Super Credits covers every free source in one place.

Medals are the bottleneck for the Warbond-page credits, because you can only hold 250 at a time. If you keep hitting that ceiling, our medals cap explainer covers what to spend them on so nothing is thrown away.

Before You Pay: A Short Checklist

• Check the price in your own region and currency; the US prices above are not universal.
• Buy the smallest pack that covers your next purchase if you are not sure you will keep playing.
• Look at your balance first. Warbond pages you have already unlocked may hold credits you have not claimed.
• Avoid buying during announced maintenance. Arrowhead warned before a May 19, 2026 backend maintenance window that purchasing and spending Super Credits would be temporarily unavailable.
• Keep the receipt from your platform store. If credits do not appear, it is the proof Arrowhead Player Support will ask for.

Another Way to Top Up

Some players would rather have credits delivered than buy packs or farm maps. The store's Helldivers 2 Super Credits service covers a selected amount of credits; according to its page, delivery happens in-game via a lobby invitation from staff, no account login is required, and it is listed for PlayStation, Xbox and PC (Steam).

Other services, including medals, samples and ship modules, are collected on the Helldivers 2 boosting page.
