Following its two-step ahead, one-step again technique, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has confirmed its Killzone crossover, the primary a part of which is now stay. While the longed-for Killzone content material is appreciated, the developer is asking what gamers are calling an exorbitant value for the Helghast package, twice that of extra strong Warbond choices.
The Killzone-themed armour set will value 500 Super Credits, with one other 310 for the cape and one other 310 for the important helmet (thanks, IGN). The new assault rifle will value you an extra 610, and the kicker is that the entire above is just accessible for 5 days within the sport’s rotating Superstore (however will likely return). We can assume that the second drop will sport an identical pricing scheme.
Helldivers’ premium Warbonds, for comparability, have remained at a flat 1000 Super Credits (or about $9.99 / £7.99) and, whereas not unlocked immediately, will enable gamers to work in direction of often unlocking a number of such units, weapons, extras, and even Strategems. Super Credits could be earned in-game, however the price is understandably sluggish or could be bought for numerous quantities of actual cash.
We discover ourselves conflicted on this considerably nuanced state of affairs. Arrowhead, in our opinion, has greater than earned our value of admission (offering many blissful hours of gameplay) and has pushed out many free content material updates up to now 12 months, with extra to return. This Killzone crossover presents a chance for the developer to probably make some actual cash from gamers prepared to pay, which is a good factor; money circulation is important for any studio to maintain creating content material, particularly pretty much as good as Omens of Tyranny (free), which, in a single day, fully revitalised the sport.
It’s additionally in all probability price stating that the entire Killzone content material above is beauty, and you do not want any of it; admittedly, the StA-52 Assault Rifle is a singular weapon, however Helldivers 2 is a co-op, PVE sport, and there are dozens of different main weapons to select from. However, selecting to not buy the pack will probably be taken as proof you are not an actual Killzone fan.
