They added FOMO to the game basically.

Limited time items with horrible value. 10 dollars for a weapons and a piece of armor, helmet not included.
Effectively locking content that should've been a warbond for the recent killzone crossover.
Essentially an entire warbond page for 20 dollars. That's where we are right now.

I didn't think Helldivers would break their promise of no FOMO but here we are.

Some dont consider it FOMO but regardless of what you consider we can all agree that adding literal Warbond pages to the superstore that are 20 dollars each is bad for this game.
We can agree that time gating content is bad for the game.

It quite literally goes against philosophy of "you'll be able to get all the content at any point" and you'd have to wait weeks for this to show in the shop again and then wait for it to cycle out for the next page? I don't know. Reading it on the discord definitely sounds like the case based on the wording.

Did I mention it's basically FOMO? Yeah I did.

Please do no give arrow head money for this one. It's bad value and malpractice that SONY is trying to implement once more. Dont let corperate ruin another title with their dawg ♥♥♥♥ money grubbing hands.

If we ignore this now, it'll get worse from then on.

Please Review game with me to send a message to Sony and Arrowhead we don't want any form of fomo within helldivers, lite or full.
