Since Helldivers 2 download developer Arrowhead submitted the opening part of the first-ever game – with a PlayStation shooter Killzone – yesterday, the prices that players are being asked to pay for this new material have been causing a serious backlash. Now, CCO Johan Pilestedt has confirmed that the gear was originally released as a warbond, before the studio announced that it would be individual supermarket items.
Like us reported yesterday The players have a big bugbear about this Killzone Gear is the fact that the level of super credits that are being built individually for the new assault rifle and weapon set is very high. You are looking at a total that is about half to 6/10 of a full Warbond for each of them.

Naturally, one of the big questions immediately raised by disgruntled players about this item is why it wasn't released as a Warbond, which would have at least meant people could get their hands on it. all Killzone stuff in one package and easily quickly judge how much they were paying in total. Even if – like some on Reddit admittedly – this probably wouldn't have stopped people from complaining about the real issue, as that is the high price of credit being charged.
Well, as it turned out, those leaks that had suggested that the collaboration would come as a warbond, rather than individual pieces of supermarket equipment – were legit.

“Sorry you felt the price was steep, we are looking at all the feedback,” he tweeted, “The reason we changed it from warbond to precisely because there were concerns that a higher-priced warbond would create negative sentiment.” He also commented on the game's general price trends in another response, writing: “It's an ecosystem. ' must be constant we the stuff you like, we can keep the business going and make more stuff you hope you'll like….and then it continues until it doesn't work, at which point the story ends .”
Meanwhile, after going to the Helldivers 2 Discord server during the day yesterday to address some price criticismArrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani continued into the evening, answering several other people.
Among the most surprising things he said was a response to a player asking if Sony had an influence on the prices of items in the game. “Of course – it's a partnership – but we're at the helm behind the decisions,” Jorjani replied, “This one's on us.”
He also appeared as part of an explanation of his belief that the more players buy stuff like this Killzone gear, the better Arrowhead will release things like the Illuminate as free updates: “Part of To make Omens of Tyranny with joint development studios that we couldn't have done if good people supported us through supercredit purchases. “
