With Helldivers 2 leaks reaching a premium in recent days, Arrowhead Studios devs are starting to mobilize to quell some of the suspense. One such dev directly responded to the Discord community, saying that trusting dataminers might lead to disappointment.
On Aug. 15, Arrowhead Studios developer Evil-Bosse responded to datamining speculation on the official community Discord. Regarding datamined content that would undermine the CEO’s comments on “no transmog,” Evil-Bosse kept things simple but vague: “I don’t look at datamined stuff, and I would avoid falling in love with it.” They specified that most content in the game are “leftovers,” usually quite old parts of the project that are dug up and seem real, but have been retired for a while. But to keep things interesting, they made sure to specify “some are things that will pop up in the game.”
