Sony Removes Store Listing

Sony has removed the store page for the sticker pack, possibly lending more credence to the theory that the four-leaf clover booster is intended to be added in a future update.

Summary

  • Sony may have accidentally leaked a new booster for Helldivers 2 in a sticker set on its store page.
  • Players are speculating that the four-leaf clover booster has something to do with drop rates or randomness.
  • Arrowhead has yet to comment on the potential leak.

A new booster could be coming to Helldivers 2, with Sony potentially leaking the upcoming addition on its store page.

Sony has added a new listing to its PlayStation Store, a sticker set of 13 individual stickers depicting boosters from Helldivers 2. The thing is, there are only 12 boosters currently in Helldivers 2. The four-leaf clover on the third row of the store image isn't yet in the game. It would be strange of Sony to make this error if there were no plans for Arrowhead to add this icon into the game via a new booster.

A Lucky Booster?

Also, to nitpick, the store listing is called 'Helldivers Stratagem Sticker Pack' when they are boosters, not stratagems.

This wouldn't be the first time Sony has unintentionally leaked an upcoming addition to Helldivers 2. Arrowhead's publisher accidentally revealed the new Commando Rocket Launcher a few months ago, confusing the new weapon with the already-released Airburst Rocket Launcher.

Have they done so again? We won't know until Arrowhead comments. Naturally, Helldivers 2 players are predicting what bonus the unnamed four-leaf clover boost could provide. As a four-leaf clover is usually associated with people being lucky, many commenters are predicting the booster will have something to do with boosted drop rates.

"Imagine if it makes you more likely to get rare samples," one commenter writes, hopefully. Another comment guesses that it could add a fifth stratagem that's completely random - sometimes helpful and other times completely useless.

Helldivers 2 received an emergency patch today to reduce the number of crashes that occurred when players killed an Imapler in a Stronghold.

Helldivers 2 received its biggest-ever update a couple of weeks ago, Escalation of Freedom. This update added a new difficulty level, new enemies and several balance changes. The update wasn't well-received by the community, prompting game director Mikael Eriksson to release a statement.

Arrowhead has yet to comment on Sony's potential leak, and the store listing remains online.

Should Helldivers 2 Have Allowed Super Earth To Fall?

It's pretty clear that there was no contingency for enemy forces actually reaching Super Earth in Helldivers 2's live narrative.  In fairness to Arrowhead, that would have been a lot of work to create content that realistically might have never been seen.  It would have been great if there was a whole storyline ready to go, but to me that's more an indictment of the cold reality of trying to create art under capitalism than any real fault on the developers' part; I'm sure the team would have loved to have a "Super Earth has fallen" campaign waiting in the wings just as much as the players would have loved discovering it.  What do you think?
