After the Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 crossover launched, Arrowhead received backlash for the high price of each item. The cost is especially egregious considering it’s only the first part, and both used to be part of a Premium Warbond. In response, the second part, originally meant to go live on December 23rd, will be free for all players.
“As this was our first crossover offering, we’ve been listening to the response, and the feedback we’ve received from our community surveys is that crossover content is really high up on your wishlists. At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items, and we will revisit this,” the developer said on Twitter.
The second part of the crossover content is available in the Superstore, including the AC-2 Obedient armor set, the PLAS-39 Accelerator Rifle, the StA-11 SMG, and the Defender of Our Dream cape and player banner. Furthermore, the duration of the previous items in the store has been extended from five to ten days. The development team is also looking at solutions to “bring these items back permanently in the future.”
Finally, a Major Order is available that enables all players to unlock the W.A.S.P. Stratagem. The latter will be familiar to Killzone 3 players as the StA-X3 W.A.S.P. Launcher, which fires multiple rockets after locking on. Based on early impressions, it’s incredibly potent and can instantly kill Illuminate Overseers.
Seasons greetings, Helldivers!
