The Unforeseen Addition
The "Catalogue Expansion" ship module appeared without prior announcement, catching players off guard. Promising "new stratagem permits" in the ship management terminal, the module's description raised eyebrows when players noticed it merely duplicated the effects of a previously existing module.
Developer's Lore-Driven Warning
Reacting to the confusion, developer Arrowhead chose a creative approach to address the issue. Crafting a statement reminiscent of Helldivers 2's fictional universe, they issued an alert urging players to avoid the 'rogue item' until further notice. This narrative-style warning, shared on the Helldivers Discord, added an intriguing twist to the unfolding situation.
Community Response and Speculation
The announcement sparked various reactions within the Helldivers 2 community. While some players were left puzzled by the narrative-driven warning, others interpreted it as a subtle hint towards upcoming content additions. Speculation arose regarding potential new stratagems and ship upgrades hinted at by the accidental appearance of the "Catalogue Expansion" module.
As players eagerly await further developments in Helldivers 2, attention turns to the upcoming Premium Warbond event, 'Democratic Detonation,' set to launch on April 11.
