Helldivers 2recently released its major update called Escalation of Freedom, which introduced various new features in the game. The update’s trailer video showcased new gameplay features and even the various new enemies that players will be facing during their quest to spread democracy in the universe.
One of the standout features was the new Difficulty 10, which was designed to test the capabilities of the players by introducing tougher enemies in a whole new environment. However, one disappointing and misleading part of the new difficulty was the promised rewards, which failed to meet the expectations.

Reddit User, Huntardlulz, recently posted his rewards after clearing difficulty 10 and they were utterly disappointed. They thought that the rewards would be higher and the same sentiment was shown by the community when they saw the post.
Some players were hoping to see a higher currency drop.
While some veteran players want samples to have more uses or a completely different reward.
While others are still waiting for the promised great rewards.
This shows that the rewards were underwhelming, to say the least, and completing this higher difficulty just failed to deliver the sense of accomplishment and recognition that players anticipated.

The game itself continues to offer players a wide range of engaging content and experiences that not only meet their expectations but sometimes shatter them. Yet, players are disappointed just because of the misalignment between player expectations and the reality of Difficulty 10’s rewards.

In the end, while the update has been received positively by the players, Johan Pilestedt may need to rethink how he should present the promises of future updates.
