Helldivers 2 players will soon be able to dish out death to Super Earth enemies with Warhammer 40K weapons like the Meltagun, Bolt Pistol, and more.

Games Workshop’s grimdark Warhammer 40K universe is the next crossover coming to developer Arrowhead Studios’ popular shooter on August 12 in the form of a Legendary Warbond, joining the likes of Halo and Killzone. While there are none of the setting’s iconic Space Marines in sight, 40K’s Astra Militarum faction is instead getting the spotlight.

As revealed in a new trailer, two Astra Militarum-inspired armor sets are coming to Helldivers 2. One, the Demo Trooper, is a heavy-armor set, while the other, the Sharpshooter, is a medium-armor set. Both grant the True Grit passive, which grants increased ergonomics and faster reload for Stratagem weapons.

They are joined in the Warbond by a selection of Warhammer 40K weaponry. Those weapons include a Meltagun support weapon (40K’s even more powerful and terrifying version of a flamethrower), Meltamines, a Bolt Pistol secondary, and a Lasgun Marksman Rifle primary.

The Warbond’s reveal trailer shows the Hot Shot Marksman rifle penetrating through multiple enemies with its shots, while the Meltagun and Meltamine looks like they will
