Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead presents a fitting holiday solution to all that Killzone collaboration price backlash

Ever since Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead rolled out the first part of the game‘s Killzone crossover, the prices players are being asked to pay for these new things have caused some serious backlash. Now, after working to respond to disgruntled players, the studio has made the decision to give away the upcoming gear as the second part of the collaboration.

As we reported yesterday, the big problem players have about this Killzone loadout is the fact that the amount of super credits charged individually (because it doesn’t come as a war bonus) for the new assault rifle and armor set It is quite high.

After CEO Shams Jorjani and Johan Pilestedt spent some time on social media trying to explain to players why they did what they did with this crossover team, the studio has now implemented a fix that it hopes will help repair any goodwill the players high prices have burned. Basically, he’s giving away the second part of the collaboration, which was scheduled for December 23, to everyone as a holiday gift today.

“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 high on your wish lists,” Arrowhead wrote in a Steam post describing this “At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items and we will review it again.

“Many of you were also concerned that items weren’t in rotation long enough, and there was a bit of concern about how these items exist outside of our usual Warbond releases, which are always themed around our own universe.”

Therefore, a call was made to give away the second wave of equipment for free to all players, and it is expected to arrive “in two waves”, as well as extending the time that items currently in the Superstore will be there “of 5 days to 10 days”, so you don’t have to worry as much about FOMO if you’re busy earning Super Credits to get the other Killzone bits.

“We are also investigating solutions for how we can recover these items permanently in the future,” the studio added, “The WASP Stratagem will be available for all of you to unlock via major order shortly.”

There you go. Arrowhead’s work certainly isn’t done – he needs to work on finding an ideal price for things like this that works for both him and Helldivers 2 players, if such a thing exists – but it’s a nice gesture. After all, ’tis the season of giving.
