Arrowhead just announced the M-103 Supply FRV is going wide in October for every Helldiver with the requisition slips and level reqs. The catch? Veterans who bled through June's Census Thunder galactic campaign to earn it early are explicitly locked out of the new handout. Their grind just became yesterday's news while the rest of the playerbase gets the ride for free.
The Supply FRV variant sports an auto-turret and eight supply boxes strapped to the back, turning it into a mobile ammo dump with teeth. It debuted as a campaign-exclusive stratagem during the Illuminate-focused operation that wrapped with Basquine VIII's liberation. Now it's shifting to permanent unlock status, but the official Steam post thanks early participants for "enabling" the rollout without extending any retroactive love their way.
Community chatter on X and Reddit splits between praise for accessibility and eye-rolls at the veteran shafting. Some call it fair progression; others label it another live-service middle finger to the folks who kept the servers alive during the drought. Arrowhead's galactic campaign system was supposed to fix engagement issues, but this exclusion clause is already breeding the exact resentment the overhaul aimed to bury.
