Helldivers 2 Community Divided Over Commemorative Cape

The issuance of a cape to honor Malevelon Creek's liberation leads to internal conflicts and team-killing among players.

The Helldivers 2 community is divided over the commemorative Malevelon Creek cape, leading to internal conflicts and team-killing of players wearing the cape.
The cape, named Fallen Hero's Vengeance, was issued to all players to honor the liberation of Malevelon Creek and remember the fallen soldiers.
Players dedicated to the battle for Malevelon Creek, known as 'Creekers,' are targeted by others for focusing on a strategically unimportant planet.
The controversy has sparked debates on the game's subreddit, with some players condemning the Creekers for wasting resources.
Despite the internal strife, there is no evidence that the controversy has affected the game's meta-narrative so far.
