Is Helldivers 2 Super Citizen Edition Worth It?
First off, the Super Citizen Edition is priced at $59.99. That is $20 more than the Standard Edition. For that price difference, you get a bunch of new gear, some goodies, and access to a Premium Warbond. The Warbond has around 300 Super Credits in it, along with he rest of the rewards. Is it worth it?
Well, if you like the game then this is definitely something you should look up. Moreover, you do not have to decide just yet. Both Steam and PlayStation Store have the option to upgrade your Standard Edition to a Super Citizen Edition, for $20. Now, let’s see what you get if you decide on the Super Citizen Edition.
- BECOME A LEGEND – You will be assembled into squads of up to four Helldivers and assigned strategic missions. Watch each other’s back – friendly fire is an unfortunate certainty of war, but victory without teamwork is impossible.
- LOADOUTS – Rain down freedom from above, sneak through enemy territory, or grit your teeth and charge head-first into the jaws of combat. How you deliver liberty is your choice; you’ll have access to a wide array of explosive firepower, life-saving armour and battle-changing stratagems… the jewel in every Helldiver’s arsenal.
- REQUISITION – Super Earth recognises your hard work with valuable Requisition. Use it to access different rewards that benefit you, your squad, your destroyer ship and our overall war effort.
- THREATS – Everything on every planet wants you dead. That’s what we’re dealing with. Each enemy has distinct and unpredictable characteristics, tactics, and behaviour – but they all fight ferociously and without fear or morality.
