Game news There is no PVP in Helldivers 2 to avoid toxicity…But players still manage to spoil the atmosphere
Although focused on cooperation, Helldivers 2 faces new enemies. Players come to ruin the atmosphere of certain games.
While Super Earth continues to be threatened by the Terminides and the Automatons (a race of extraterrestrials present in the software), a new threat hangs over democracy. More and more players are complaining about toxic behavior in certain parts of Helldivers 2. A shame when we know that the developers have done everything to avoid this kind of situation. “ We will never add a PvP mode. This is to reduce toxic exchanges in the community. We want an environment that is positive, fun, and where we are all fighting on the same side! » said Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios in a post on X (ex Twitter).
“ I played a mission just now where the host killed me as the shuttle landed to take my electromagnetic rifle, revive me, let me into the shuttle and kill me again with my own weapon then escape without me » deplores a first player on the subreddit r/Helldiverse. “ I literally got kicked out of a game for allegedly stealing samples. It’s amazing how quickly the community’s IQ collapsed » shouts another. A fairly natural reaction since the title was made to be cooperative, which means that all the resources found such as samples, super credit or even medals are shared with all members in a game.

Players propose solutions to solve the problem of toxic behavior
Faced with this situation, more and more people are asking for reporting to be put in place to report problem players and ban them from the title in the event of a repeat offense. Others also ask the impossibility of evicting players when the extraction countdown is started to avoid losing everything at the near end of a mission. At the moment the only viable way is to not have a problem and therefore to play with friends or to be the host to exclude those who do anything.
A behavior which would be more and more present, particularly on the most difficult missions of Helldivers 2. In the software, you have access to a plethora of stratagems to help you in the propagation of democracy. As you progress, you will be able to unlock new ones which are more or less powerful, making it easier for you to exterminate multitudes of enemies. However, some smart people exclude players who do not use the most powerful stratagems, for fear of not achieving the objectives.
