ODST Drop into Halo: Flashpoint

Today, Mantic Games announced that pre-orders for ODSTs are now available through their website for their tactical skirmish game Halo: Flashpoint. If you haven’t already, you can check out their teaser trailer here. Halo: Flashpoint ODSTs are available to pre-order now and the expansion pack slated to release late October 2025, and ship early November. You can pre-order yours their their website today. 

ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) are the elite fighting force for the UNSC, United Nations Space Command, within the Halo universe. First appearing in Halo 2, ODSTs have become a staple in Halo games ever since, including getting their own game in 2009. To commemorate their numerous appearances and styles, this set includes 16 ODST miniatures (including the ‘Air Assault’ Bullfrogs from Halo: Reach), New Mombasa map and terrain, ODST-themed dice, and the Limited Edition versions of both Gunnery Sergeant Buck and Captain Dare! This is an expansion, so you will need a starter set and Fireteam Building rules, available in the Mantic Games app.

ODSTs are deployed from USNC fleet ships via drop pods onto the planet surface below (sound familiar?), and are aptly named ‘Helljumpers.’ If you haven't seen the Halo 3: ODST live-action trailer ‘We are ODST,’ then you need to put down whatever else you’re doing and give it a watch. If you’ve already seen it, then put down whatever you're doing and still give it a watch.
