The Dota 2 Collector’s Cache offers players a plethora of treasures containing exclusive, non-tradeable cosmetic items, but this year it looks like avid MOBA fans will only get one Valve chest instead of the usual two.
Starting in 2018, players can receive two different collectible stashes during the year. Last year we had Aghanim’s 2021 cache as well as the Nemestice iteration, whereas in previous years the caches were simply named after that year’s respective TI.
This year we only had one stock, Diretide, which is already available in stores. According to Valve’s official blog post, it was supposed to be retired on December 18, but players noticed that instead the devs just extended it, bringing us into the next year with the same cache (the cache is now decommissioned). in January). 13).
This seems to confirm that there will only be one iteration of the chest full of treasures this year, leaving players frustrated and hungry for new rare cosmetics.
“No Cache 2 is a villain,” one fan wrote on the game’s subreddit. “Bad update,” another commented.
However, one fan points out that the new dates for the cache are December 22 to January 13, which means that Valve may release the second cache and related details. Unfortunately, the announcement bar uses the same splash screen as the original cache in the Reddit screenshot, so it could be, as one eagle-eyed fan put it, “hopeful.”
Many players were quick to criticize Valve for being “lazy,” with one saying, “They don’t seem to care about finishing the second preorder.” As we previously reported, this feeds into the growing perception that Valve has abandoned Dota 2 and has instead focused its efforts on the new Neon Prime. While rumors suggest that Neon Prime is set in the Dota 2 universe, Valve’s apparent lack of interest in Dota is concerning; After all, what’s a new game if it’s not played by the community?
If Valve decides to release a second cache, we’ll make sure this part is updated to reflect that. In the meantime, we’ve got a list of the best Dota 2 custom games to keep you entertained in your holiday grind, as well as a roundup of the best Dota 2 heroes for beginners.
