Helldivers 2 update brings ‘review bomb’ cape to all players

While Helldivers 2 launched to an overwhelmingly positive reception on Steam, things took a swift turn for the worse a month or so later, when a review bombing campaign led to thousands of negative reviews. Ultimately, Arrowhead was able to turn things around and offered to commemorate that moment in history with a ‘review bomb' cape for all players in the game. Now over a year later, that cosmetic reward is finally dropping. 

Shortly after the launch of Helldivers 2, Sony had kicked into effect a new policy mandating that all PlayStation-published PC games must require a PSN account. This meant that players who had already purchased the game on PC would need to make a PSN account to continue playing. It also meant that the game had to be removed from sale in hundreds of countries. This sparked a ton of backlash but after some discussion, Arrowhead was able to get the PSN account requirement reversed for Helldivers 2 and the review bombing stopped.

At the time, Arrowhead announced plans to commemorate the community's effort to reverse the policy change with a free cape. It has taken quite some time, but the officially named ‘Pillars of Freedom' cape is now ready to roll out to Helldivers around the world. The cape is awarded to players “in honour of unquestioning commitment to the defense of Managed Democracy”.

The reward is rolling out to all players now but the process could take a couple of days to complete. The next time you log into Helldivers 2, it should be there waiting for you to equip.

KitGuru Says: I imagine matchmaking is going to be filled with players sporting this cape over the next week.
