About

Operation Spearbreaker is a two-mission campaign expansion for Halo Wars 2. Moving away from the main game's Spartan-focused narrative, this DLC offers a "boots-on-the-ground" perspective, putting players in control of Sunray 1-1, an elite squad of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers (ODSTs) from Boomerang Company aboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire.
