Helldivers 2 Malevelon Creek cape - All details

The Malevelon Creek cape has been offered in memory of the brave Helldivers who fought and lost their lives in the successful liberation of the planet. To get it, you will simply have to launch the game since the developers, or rather the President of Super Earth, have decreed that all Helldivers will be issued that special cape this week (April 1-7).

Visually, the cape does have a charm to it, with a red skull adorning the middle of the fabric. So, go ahead and adorn your avatar with the same. While you will not look unique in this outfit, you don't have to.

Instead, all of us can wear the cape to honor the deaths that paved the way for Malevelon Creek's liberation.

Malevelon Creek and Helldivers 2 history

Players had been struggling to make a dent in the Automaton's control over Robot Vietnam, aka Malevelon Creek in Helldivers 2, for some time. Coordinated community attacks and missions failed to make much progress. #rememberthecreek became a common trending phase among the community.

Then came a Major Order from the developers on X, asking Helldivers to eliminate the Automatons from the Creek once and for all. Troops were mobilized en masse, and the struggle to liberate the planet continued. After an intense battle, victory was finally declared on April 1.

The President of Super Earth marked April 3 as Malevelon Creek Memorial Day and unveiled the Fallen Hero's Vengeance cape discussed above. While the dust has settled on the battlegrounds of Malevelon Creek for the moment, the Helldivers offensive continues on other sectors and planets.
