Why Oshaune matters
Oshaune is a hive world and the supposed source of that delightful Gloom cloud that was menacing Super Earth citizens. The campaign to clear it out was a meat grinder; in-universe, we are talking millions of fallen Helldivers. The cape is a nod to everyone who showed up for the effort, whether you were knee-deep in Terminids every night or just popped in during the window.
The callback here is obvious
If this feels familiar, it is because last year the community had the Malevelon Creek moment against the Automatons, and Arrowhead handed out a Creek cape for players who were online during that Major Order. Oshaune was bigger and nastier thanks to the surge of new players, but Malevelon still lives rent-free in the fanbase. Consider this Oshaune reward the modern echo of that earlier war.
Bottom line
If you were online between Sept 2 and Nov 4, 2025, the Oshaune Liberation Cape is yours, free and clear. Throw it on, salute Managed Democracy, and try not to get mulched on the drop.
