A few months after Helldivers 2 was revealed during the 2023 PlayStation Showcase, Arrowhead Game Studios announced in September that year that the game was finally available for pre-order on PlayStation 5 and PC. Like with many video games these days, the title featured several pre-order bonuses at the time. Players who purchased Helldivers 2 before its official release got access to a couple of new cosmetic armor sets, which could only be obtained in this manner. Arrowhead Game Studios did not make the armor sets available to those who bought Helldivers 2 at a later date, which seemingly made them inaccessible to newcomers forever.
