The crossover came in the form of Superstore items, but with inflated prices. The community hasn't taken too well ꧙to being forced to buy the StA-52 assault rifle at 615 Super Credits or the iconic helmet at 310 Super Credits. There's also been an outcry on multiple forums, claiming th💛at the prices are exploitative.

Helldivers 2 Fans Aren't Happy With Killzone Crossover Prices

The Helldivers subreddit, which was filled with love for the new update until yesterday, is now of the Killzone items in the Supeཧrstore. "I get the game needs to be monetized in some way, I get that the devs work isn’t free, but charging half a warbond price for an assault rifle with no optic is straight up nonsense," said one of the posts.

Fans also noted that recent Warbonds in general have seen fewer weapons than previous ones, instead being filled with cosmetics and miscellaneous instead. "Legitimately what justification is there for defending stuff like this? It’s not even just this most recent i🎉tem shop, the warbonds are also shrinking in content. The first few had 4 weapons, 3 skins, all the little extras. The newest one had 1 secondary weapon, 2 skins, and all the little extras."

Even 🌞loyal fans who want to give Arrowhead money find themselves recons🌳idering their choices after the prices of the crossover were revealed. "Yeah, I’ve just been buying the warbonds instead of farming because I wanted to support AH, but if they’re gonna keep pulling this stuff… Idk, it’s a little worrying," said one disappointed fan.

Arrowhead is aware of the backlash and has been communicating with the community on the Helldivers 2 Discord server. "Hey - quick comment on the Helghast stuff," wrote CEO Shams Jorjani, "Firstly - this is our first collaboration so we'll be figuring it out as we go along. Let us know what you'd like to see in the future. Secondly it'♕s optional - the more of this we sell - the more illuminate type stuff we can keep dropping for free."

Jorjani explained that they wanted to "try different things and see how players respond, how the stuff sells and improve over time." But the community wasn't too happy wit🐻h this answer, especially given that the game isn't free-to-play.
