Helldivers 2 Players Unite to Reverse-Review Bomb the Game
Several Helldivers 2 players are joining forces to restore the game’s former positive rating on Steam following a recent surge of negative feedback.
In a recent post on Twitter, Arrowhead Game Studios announced that players will be given a new cape in the coming weeks, commemorating the community's victory during the Battle of Super Earth in Helldivers 2. As of writing, there's no information about what the cape will actually look like when it makes its debut. Furthermore, there's no definitive release date for the cosmetic, but it seems as if it could be arriving in the near future. Either way, many fans are excited that the developers are creating something special to celebrate what has proven to be a big moment for the community.
Helldivers 2 Players Will Receive a Free Cape
Arrowhead Game Studios also announced that gamers will soon be able to get their hands on a new Warbond in Helldivers 2. The upcoming premium Warbond is called Force of Law, and it comes with a wide variety of weapons, armor, and other items. Fans who choose to don the new armor will benefit from the Ballistic Padding passive effect, which offers higher resistance to chest damage, explosive damage, and damage from bleeding. Gamers who purchase the Warbond will also have access to the new AR-32 Pacifier assault rifle, which has a large ammo capacity. Those looking forward to the new Warbond will be able to purchase it on June 12.
Fans looking to show off their love of the popular shooter may be happy to learn that Dark Horse Comics will be making replica Helldivers 2 helmets. While the helmets won't be available until 2026, gamers can pre-order the collector's items right now. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Helldivers 2.
