Super Citizen adds named digital extras and can be purchased as an upgrade from Standard.
Helldivers 2 Standard includes the game. Super Citizen adds the DP-53 Savior of the Free armor, Will of the People cape, MP-98 Knight weapon, Super Citizen status, Stratagem Hero ship game, and the currently listed Premium Warbond entitlement. Standard owners can buy an upgrade.
Buy Standard when the goal is simply to play. Super Citizen is a content bundle, not a different campaign or separate server. Read the current platform checkout list because older support wording may name Steeled Veterans while the current product listing uses a Premium Warbond token.
After purchase, the armor, cape, and weapon appear in the Armory; the Stratagem Hero console is on the Super Destroyer; Warbonds are under Requisitions. If an item is missing, verify that the purchasing account and playing account match before reinstalling.
Changing platform does not transfer this edition content. The cross-progression answer explains why a second copy begins separately.
