Helldivers 2 Players Get the StA-X3 W.A.S.P. Launcher Stratagem
For PlayStation fans, the StA-X3 W.A.S.P. Launcher may be a bit nostalgic as it is a weapon originally fromKillzone 3. The stratagem was also revealed earlier in December as part of theHelldivers 2andKillzonecrossover, which also added new weapons, cosmetic gear, and two armor sets from the Sony franchise, like the AC-1 Dutiful and AC-2 Obedient.
While the crossover itself was received well by players, how it was being rolled out within the Premium Store was not. Pricing was much higher than many assumed, with both waves amounting to around $40 in total, essentially the price ofHelldivers 2at launch. Responding to player feedback,Arrowhead announced a change in plans for theKillzonecrossover, gifting Wave 2 to all players and doubling the amount of time that Wave 1 would be available within the Superstore.
