Helldivers 2's review-bomb cape might not exist after all, even though the game's director teased

If you're unfamiliar with the cape proposition, it came about after Helldivers 2 was reviewbombed on Steam in the wake of Sony's incredibly unpopular PSN account linking mandate. Steam lets users view recent reviews in bar graph form, and so all the overwhelmingly negative user verdicts stacked up in a nice line, which players then proposed should be immortalized as an ingame cape. Arrowhead's devs were pretty game for whole concept even Helldivers 2's own director teased something earlier this month that looked strikingly similar to the reviewbomb cape that players had proposed. However, it now looks like the entire thing might have been slightly blown out of proportion, and Arrowhead isn't working on the cape after all. "No, its existence or hypothetical delivery is veiled in clouds," Arrowhead community manager Twinbeard stated in the Helldivers 2 Discord, responding to a query about whether the reviewbomb cape was actually a reality for the shooter. "Some say it was spotted on a distant rock on Vernen Wells, while some say it was never made in the first place." That's a pretty ambiguous message to deliver to a player base, and it's one that won't really help players deduce whether the reviewbomb cape is actually coming to Helldivers 2, or not.
