TheHelldivers 2community over the past week has shown what the players are capable of achieving if they come together and decide to appeal against something they don’t like. Making a giant studio like Sony back off from one of their decisions is no small deal, and to commemorate the same, every gamer has been celebrating ever since, with some even calling the negative review bombing a Stratagem.
While it is an unconventional method, it was the review bombing that ultimately helped the players achieve the outcome they wanted. The damage control for all the images ruined for the game is also in the works already, as players return to Steam to change their ratings and bring back the game back on track.
Helldivers 2Player Compares Review Bombing With A Stratagem
A little help is what the player needs at times when they are overwhelmed by the Terminids of the Automatons in the game, which is when Stratagems come in handy. These are extra war materials such as an exoskeleton Mecha suit or an Orbital Strike delivered from the player’s Super Destroyer when called upon.

However,after the recent win against Sony, players have now started terming the strategy of tanking a game’s review as a real-life stratagem, helping them accomplish something that should’ve been impossible to achieve in the first place. Auseron Reddit even made the effort of designing a patch that relates to the current context, calling the real-life strategy the “Orbital Review Bomb“, taking after an in-game stratagem.
Additionally, it is not only the players who are celebrating this huge win against the studio, as Arrowhead Studios, the one responsible for developing the game had no say in the matter, and essentially had to watch their hard work slip away like grains of sand when the controversy first began.

The cape shall be made available to the players soon, and should essentially be free to redeem. Alternatively, the game can also introduce it as a part of Warbonds in the game, making it fairly easy to obtain by those who want it.
