The initial release of Helldivers 2 was very successful as players were immersed in the captivating world of the game and engaged in chaotic combat to spread democracy all across the universe. Players were ready to liberate planets and complete any mission given to them by Super Earth.
Then the PSN account controversy coupled with a few other issues dragged the game’s reputation through the mud. However, as the developers are trying to amend fixes, they are introducing a new armor set in the upcoming update that will be free for all the players.
Players Are Excited for the New Armor Set in Helldivers 2
In an attempt to rekindle the spark in the Helldivers 2 community, developers are introducing various new things in the game. The new update not only includes new enemy types along with new environments but also players will be able to get a new armor set called TR-40 Golden Eagle for free after watching the live stream on Steam.
After seeing the official announcement players are excited and frustrated at the same time. Players are excited because they are finally getting a new environment which includes a new enemy type and also a new armor set.
But many are frustrated as they still can’t access the game on Steam (even after Sony retracted its decision about the PSN Account requirement).
Reddit user, TotallyCoolUserName1, posted details about the new armor set in the forum, sharing how to get the set. This has created quite a buzz in the community as players are now speculating various things about the update and how it will affect them.

This thread highlights that players still adore the game and are always ready to spread democracy. Players are super excited to see what the new armor set will do and provide along with other new additions.
Will This Freebie Set Affect Player Sentiment?
The simple answer is ‘Yes‘. There are still many players who always wanted a free armor set, but due to the PSN controversy, it is impossible for them to even play the game. For them, this freebie may be a swift reminder of the whole controversy and will likely sting them for a long time.
Arrowhead Game Studios has been fairly active and transparent with the community after the controversy. This has created some faith in the game for the remaining players. With the past few updates, the studio has introduced many welcoming changes that have created a huge engagement in the community.
In the end, as players continue to look forward to the update, some are hoping that the recent success of the game will pave the way for a more inclusive future.
