Helldivers 2 Faces Backlash Over Expensive Killzone Crossover Content

Arrowhead defends premium pricing for Killzone-themed items, citing potential for more free updates.

Helldivers 2 introduced its first crossover content featuring Killzone-themed items, including an armor set, weapon, and cosmetics.
Fans criticized the high prices of the items, with the full set costing nearly double the price of standard warbond packs.
Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani stated that revenue from these items could support future free updates but acknowledged the negative reception.
Some players expressed frustration over the exclusive armor's powerful passive abilities, which are unavailable through standard in-game progression.
The Killzone items are available in the Superstore for a limited time, with Arrowhead planning to gather feedback on this monetization approach.
