The Helldivers community is known for being dedicated and creative, they always think of innovative ways to gain an advantage in battles. But sometimes, they come up with new ideas which starts a heated debate and discussion in the whole community.

This recently happened as a Reddit User, TommyDG, showed off their creativity in the form of an image, showing a helldiver fighting an Automaton (Like a Mortal Kombat select screen). This sparked an instant buzz as players now want CEO Shams Jorjani to take the inspiration and add the Fighting mode in Helldivers 2 or even Helldivers 3.

With the recent decline in the playerbase, Arrowhead needs to take some ideas from these fan-made ideas (create a new mode or add it as a mini-game). This will not only bring new content to the game but also will make players more engaged.

Arrowhead Game Studios is renowned for its passion and dedication towards Helldivers 2. The studio has shown that it cares about the player’s feedback and takes every chance to improve the player experience.

Even tho, the idea of introducing a whole new fighting mode in the game is just one fan thinking out of the box. Yet, it is a good idea and has the potential to bring back the player’s affection for the series. CEO Shams Jorjani and Johan Pilestedt (Chief Creative Officer) can even implement these ideas in their next sequel, Helldivers 3 as well.

In the end, players can only wait and see if the developers are willing to bring any change to their beloved game.
