Summary
Fans of Arrowhead Game Studios’ co-op shooterHelldivers 2have flagged a notable increase in Superstore prices, and the community is also questioning the lack of Heavy Armor.Helldivers 2hit the ground running after its February 2024 launch, taking the gaming industry by storm thanks to its satirical tone and adrenaline-fueled gameplay. It became Sony’s most successful PC release, but there are still a few kinks in the game’s cosmetics that fans want to see ironed out.
Serving as a direct sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter of the same name,Helldivers 2lets players pilot the titular shock troops to eradicate Terminids and Automatons from previously colonized lands in a fight for “Super Earth and Democracy.”Helldivers 2’srecent patch contained noteworthy buffs for Sentry Stratagems, allowing players to try new weapons and get creative with their loadouts. Additionally, the game’s player count continues on a steady trend, and the shooter also has a shoo-in for 2024’s Game of the Year.
Posted on Reddit by N-Haezer, a screenshot of the shooter’s Acquisition Center was posted in theHelldiverssubreddit, highlighting the rise in Superstore prices. “Is it just me or are the Superstore prices getting more and more ridiculous?,” was flagged within the community, referring to the release of the new Doubt Killer armor set accompanying the arrival of the Truth Enforcers Warbond.Helldivers 2’sSuperstore rotationcontinues to impress regarding variety, but paying 925 Super Credits for the armor set and banner, when the full Warbond has a 1,000 price tag, is a frustrating offer. Players can essentially pay 75 extra Super Credits to buy the entire Warbond, exposing the Doubt Killer cosmetics as a steep cost to only obtain a set of armor and a banner.
Helldivers 2 Players Are Frustrated by the Doubt Armor Superstore Prices
The Reddit community made their voices heard on the issue, with one user suggesting the Superstore costs be mentioned in the next feedback survey. With previous armor sets costing around 600 Super Credits, the user thought fans could persuade Arrowhead to rethink the cost of capes or keep expensive armor sets, like the Doubt Killer armor, within the Warbond. The original poster also questioned why the Truth Enforcers Warbond offered no Heavy Armor, even thoughHelldivers 2has had an impressive Heavy Armor closetin the past. Fans are hoping for more Heavy Armor cosmetics in the next Superstore rotation, but many are worried it’ll cost an arm and a leg.
Helldivers 2players can earn free Super Creditsfrom normal gameplay, making the task of saving currency for hefty, Superstore purchases more attainable and increasingly rewarding, rather than forking out real-world money. Arrowhead has been extremely receptive to constructive criticism from the player base in the past, so here’s hoping the developer addresses Superstore prices in the immediate future.
