Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios, in collaboration with Sony, has announced a partnership with Dark Horse Comics to produce an exciting line of physical replica helmets. These meticulously crafted collectibles are based on the iconic helmets worn by Helldivers 2 soldiers as they battle alien threats across the galaxy. Fans can now place their pre-orders for these stunning replicas.

Helldivers 2 has seen a remarkable resurgence in popularity following the release of the Heart of Democracy update. This expansion brought the conflict to Super Earth, the game's capital planet, prompting hundreds of thousands of players to defend it against the Illuminate faction. The update's success has reignited interest in the game, with both new and veteran players seeking ways to celebrate its satirical take on authoritarian 'Managed Democracy.'

Capitalizing on this wave of enthusiasm, Dark Horse Comics has introduced a new way for players to showcase their dedication to 'Managed Democracy'—a series of 1:4 scale replica Helldivers 2 helmets. These helmets, available for pre-order through Dark Horse Direct or select comic stores, are crafted from high-quality polyresin and modeled after three in-game designs. Scheduled for release in Q2 2026, each helmet is priced at $59.99 USD, with bundle options offering discounts of $10 for two helmets and $20 for all three.

Helldivers 2 Replica Helmets Feature Three Iconic Designs

• B01 Tactical Helmet
• DP-40 Hero of the Federation Helmet
• AF-91 Field Chemist Helmet

The replica helmets are inspired by three distinct armor sets from Helldivers 2. The first is the B01 Tactical Helmet, the standard-issue gear for rookie Helldivers and SEAF troopers. The second, the DP-40 Hero of the Federation Helmet, is part of the base Helldivers 2 War Bond. The third, the AF-91 Field Chemist Helmet, debuted with the 2024 Chemical Agents War Bond and bears a striking resemblance to historical German military helmets from World Wars 1 and 2.

Each helmet measures approximately 4.5 inches (115 mm) in height and 2.5 inches (64 mm) in width, making them ideal for display. These officially licensed replicas stand apart from fan-made 3D printed Helldivers 2 helmets, with Dark Horse emphasizing their high-quality craftsmanship, stating they are 'sculpted, prototyped, and painted by the Ministry of Science-approved Substance Model Works.'

The overwhelming response to Helldivers 2 merchandise, including these helmets, underscores the game's immense popularity—far surpassing its predecessor. With continued support from Sony and Arrowhead, Helldivers 2 is poised to remain a staple in the online multiplayer scene for years to come.
