Helldivers 2's first crossover event, featuring Killzone Helghast skins, is causing controversy due to its $20 price tag. Players criticize the cost, especially considering the game's $40 price and the availability of cheaper battle passes.
Helldivers 2 's first crossover collaboration is officially here and it’s already causing some wallet agita. The good news is the multiplayer game is getting Killzone Helghast skins as it approaches its one-year anniversary. The bad news is the entire bundle of virtual cosmetics costs $20, half the price of the paid game itself.
The development team wrote in a new blog post on Steam, “We decided a long time ago to do crossovers only if and when they make perfect sense for the game,” “So in that spirit, we’re hyped to announce our very first crossover: Killzone 2. Helldivers 2 x Killzone 2 belongs to a new tier of special Premium content reserved for collaborations and other uniquely-themed work. Our plan is to offer you something distinct and special.” The premium collaboration comes at a premium price, however. Buying everything in the set costs 1,975 Super Credits, an in-game currency players can slowly earn while playing or pay roughly $20 per 2,100 for. That makes the Killzone set the most expensive gear you can currently purchase in the Starship Troopers-inspired alien shooter, a game regularly priced at $40 with battle passes called Warbonds that include many more unlockables for just $10 each. After several years of skin-flation across popular live-service games like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Overwatch 2, $15-$20 has become the new norm for crossover skins that bring in popular outside characters and styles. But unlike those games, Helldivers 2 is not free-to-play and has already set a certain precedent for its in-game pricing system. Within that existing framework, the Helghast tributes look great but feel way overpriced. They’re also only in the shop for five days, meaning players can’t even take their time trying to grind for Super Credits across hundreds of missions. “No set should costs over 1000sc,” reads one thread currently shooting up to the top of the Helldivers 2 subreddi
