However, players have criticised their cost.<\/p>\n<p>Usually, extra content is unlocked through a Warbond costing 1000 Super Credits (\u00a37.99), which includes multiple weapons, armours, and cosmetic items. The Killzone 2 items are instead available to purchase separately, with all six items totalling 1,975 Super Credits &#8211; so two batches of 1000 Super Credits totalling \u00a315.98, essentially doubling the price.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Helldivers 2 &#8211; Omens of Tyranny | PS5 &amp; PC Games<a class=\"video\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zk0XkX0U_m0\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Separately, the StA-52 assault rifle costs 615 Super Credits (the most expensive item) and the AC-1 Dutiful armour costs 500 Super Credits.<\/p>\n<p>Players have since responded negatively on the game&#8217;s Discord server and reddit, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Helldivers\/comments\/1hgyz51\/615_sc_for_a_primary_weapon_is_straight_up\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\">one reddit user posting<\/a> &#8220;615 SC for a primary weapon is straight up ridiculous&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Helldivers 2 creative director Johan Pilestedt responded to a player on X who said the price &#8220;definitely felt steep&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sorry you felt the price was steep, we are looking at all feedback,&#8221; Pilestedt replied. &#8220;The reason we changed it from a Warbond was actually because there were concerns that having a higher priced Warbond would carry negative sentiment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"embed_wrapper\" data-domain=\"twitter.com\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Sorry you felt the price was steep, we are looking at all feedback.
