Sony may have leaked upcoming content for Helldivers 2 by briefly selling it as a sticker in the store.
What kind of leak is this? Sony had published a new offering in the PlayStation Store: a sticker set with 13 stickers representing boosters from Helldivers 2. However, there are currently only 12 boosters in Helldivers 2, and the four-leaf clover in the third row of the store image is (not yet) in the game.
In the meantime, Sony has deleted the offer, and the former store page is no longer accessible, but some Helldivers fans were quick to post a screenshot on Reddit:
You can see the post with the stickers here:
The community of the co-op shooter now believes that this is an accidental leak from Sony. The sticker not found in the game could possibly come with a future update. The fact that the store offer has been deleted strengthens this theory.
However, take this information with a grain of skepticism. After all, this is not an official announcement. It is not certain that such a booster will actually make it into the game.
Helldivers often introduces boosters with a new war bond. Here you can see a trailer for the most recent war bond Flame of Freedom:
What are boosters? Boosters are bonuses that can be used for the duration of a mission to enhance the abilities and resources of your Helldivers.
Boosters are not consumable items and can be reselected before each mission. However, each booster can only be used once per team, and each Helldiver can only choose a single booster. Moreover, a selected booster applies to every player in the squad.
What does the community say about this? The community is quite sure that this is a potential leak and is actively speculating about what the likely leaked booster will be able to do.
- “I always think of a booster that gives you a completely random 5th stratagem. I hope that’s it. Or could it have something to do with the death probability?” (via reddit)
- “I hope it offers a higher chance of better POI loot. I need more super credits” (via reddit)
- “Lucky find – gives additional ammo from field crates. I’m curious what they could use ‘luck’ for. Maybe even additional medals, requirements, SCs.” (via reddit)
Some players are also having fun at Sony’s expense:
- “If you can’t beat the leakers, then become the leakers” (via reddit)
Do we know more about the next content update? No, there is currently no set date for the next content update. We also do not know a theme or possible content. However, the developers regularly introduce new content in the co-op shooter through war bonds.
For now, we can only wait to see if the new booster will come and what the booster will be capable of.
