New biomes, weapons, armor, and enemies are frequently added into Helldivers 2 as the Galactic War develops. But OG Helldivers want to see one particular feature return to this war: The weapon upgrade system.

In a July 31 Reddit thread on r/Helldivers, poster tedge081 sparked a discussion with fellow Helldivers when he stated that the weapon upgrade system from the first game should be added to Helldivers 2. In Helldivers, this system allowed you to use Research Points (similar to Samples) as currency to upgrade weapons and Stratagems.
