My feelings on the Helldivers 2: Omens of Tyranny update so far can be described in bursts of "oh this car is awesome" and "are you kidding me the Illuminate are incredible," but there was one surprise waiting for me in Helldivers 2 this morning that I wasn't happy to see: Arrowhead isn't just selling armor in its store tab anymore, but weapons too.
Well, one weapon for now. The stun baton, one of two melee options new to the shooter, can only be unlocked by purchasing it directly from the Superstore for 200 Super Credits. Unless I've been living under a rock, this is the first time Arrowhead has sold a non-armor item outside of a warbond—Helldivers 2's battle pass-like progression system. I'm uneasy about the precedent that sets for the future of the game.
