Helldivers 2's Killzone crossover items are now available for free after pricing backlash
techradar.comArrowhead Game Studios is now giving away Helldivers 2's Killzone 2 crossover items for free following pricing criticism.

Part one of the crossover went live yesterday and includes a Killzone-themed armor set, cape, assault rifle, player title, and banner, however, some players weren't too happy about the pricing.
The new armor itself will set you back 500 Super Credits, the cape and helmet, 310, while the assault rifle costs 615 alone. One premium Warbond is 1,000 Super Credits, which is $9.99 / £7.99, meaning the entire Killzone 2 collection would be priced almost double of one Warbond.

«At the same time, some of you are not happy with the prices of the items and we will revisit this.»
