Fans ofWarhammertabletop lore will be familiar with the Death Korps of Krieg, a faction of the Astra Militarum with distinct armor you can almost get inHelldivers 2.

With the hottest sci-fi game of recent memory likely taking some inspiration fromWarhammer, this comparison completes the homage.

Buying these items could make your Helldiver look like they were ripped straight out of the German forces during the Great War.
