November 1, 2024

Key Takeaways

Superstore prices in Helldivers 2 are increasing, causing frustration among players over the expensive Doubt Killer armor set.
Players have to pay 925 Super Credits for the armor set and banner when the full Truth Enforcers Warbond has a 1,000 price tag.
Players have also questioned the absence of Heavy Armor in the Superstore rotation.

Fans of Arrowhead Game Studios’ co-op shooter Helldivers 2 have flagged a notable increase in Superstore prices, and the community is also questioning the lack of Heavy Armor. Helldivers 2 hit the ground running after its February 2024 launch, taking the gaming industry by storm thanks to its satirical tone and adrenaline-fueled gameplay. It became Sony’s most successful PC release, but there are still a few kinks in the game’s cosmetics that fans want to see ironed out.

Serving as a direct sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter of the same name, Helldivers 2 lets players pilot the titular shock troops to eradicate Terminids and Automatons from previously colonized lands in a fight for “Super Earth and Democracy.” Helldivers 2’s recent patch contained noteworthy buffs for Sentry Stratagems, allowing players to try new weapons and get creative with their loadouts. Additionally, the game’s player count continues on a steady trend, and the shooter also has a shoo-in for 2024’s Game of the Year.

What to Expect from Helldivers 2’s Truth Enforcers Warbond

Players of Helldivers 2 should get ready to fight for the truth’s sake, and the new Warbond centered around it comes with some interesting content.

Posted on Reddit by N-Haezer, a screenshot of the shooter’s Acquisition Center was posted in the Helldivers subreddit, highlighting the rise in Superstore prices. “Is it just me or are the Superstore prices getting more and more ridiculous?,” was flagged within the community, referring to the release of the new Doubt Killer armor set accompanying the arrival of the Truth Enforcers Warbond. Helldivers 2’s Superstore rotation continues to impress regarding variety, but paying 925 Super Credits for the armor set and banner, when the full Warbond has a 1,000 price tag, is a frustrating offer. Players can essentially pay 75 extra Super Credits to buy the entire Warbond, exposing the Doubt Killer cosmetics as a steep cost to only obtain a set of armor and a banner.

Helldivers 2 Players Are Frustrated by the Doubt Armor Superstore Prices

The Reddit community made their voices heard on the issue, with one user suggesting the Superstore costs be mentioned in the next feedback survey. With previous armor sets costing around 600 Super Credits, the user thought fans could persuade Arrowhead to rethink the cost of capes or keep expensive armor sets, like the Doubt Killer armor, within the Warbond. The original poster also questioned why the Truth Enforcers Warbond offered no Heavy Armor, even though Helldivers 2 has had an impressive Heavy Armor closet in the past. Fans are hoping for more Heavy Armor cosmetics in the next Superstore rotation, but many are worried it’ll cost an arm and a leg.

Helldivers 2 players can earn free Super Credits from normal gameplay, making the task of saving currency for hefty, Superstore purchases more attainable and increasingly rewarding, rather than forking out real-world money. Arrowhead has been extremely receptive to constructive criticism from the player base in the past, so here’s hoping the developer addresses Superstore prices in the immediate future.
