Honor the Promise to Bring Back Past Timed-Exclusive Items

Arrowhead stated during an official livestream that they intend to bring back past time-exclusive items such as the Pre-Order armors, Creek Cape, Golden Eagle armor, and similar rewards, saying it was a matter of "when" rather than "if", while working on implementation.

More than a year later, these items remain inaccessible to players who joined after their availability window. This creates unnecessary FOMO and prevents newer players from obtaining cosmetics the developers acknowledged should return.

The issue is not that these items were originally limited, but the announced plan has seen no visible progress. Many players have supported Helldivers 2 expecting this commitment to be fulfilled.

Expected behavior: Past timed-exclusive cosmetics become obtainable through a fair implementation, as stated by ArrowHead.

Actual behavior: Past timed-exclusive cosmetics remain unobtainable, with no implemented system.

Implement a permanent or seasonal "Legacy" acquisition system for previous timed-exclusive cosmetics.

Examples could include:

-High Super Credit prices. -Major Order or questline unlocks. -Warbond-style progression. -Recurring event availability. -Event interaction with OG owners. -Direct purchase.

Players who originally earned the items would still keep the benefit of early access, while newer players would finally have a path to obtain cosmetics that Arrowhead previously said would return. This fulfills the developers' own stated goal of bringing these items back in a fair way.
