However, fans have now pointed towards one shocking stat about the game. A lot of players have not completed one important objective in Helldivers 2 and there is nobody else to blame for this other than the game itself and Arrowhead Game Studios.

Many Helldivers 2 Players Have Not Completed the First Achievement

Helldivers 2 players have been busy fighting bots and bugs to spread managed democracy across the galaxy. However, it seems like before Helldivers dived into the war they did not think it was important to complete basic training before they can go on to the battlefield.

One player on the game’s subreddit has shared that only 95.4% players have got “The Real Deal” achievement. They wondered why all players do not have this achievement. The Real Deal is the first achievement that players get in the age for completing the basic training, basically, completing the tutorial.

Players are taught to walk, run, and crouch as well as how to use items and weapons in the game. The tutorial also teaches players how to use stratagems. These are all basic things that players need to know before they are ready to go head to head against bugs and bots.

Server Issues and Bugs Are the Reasons Behind This

Many not having the achievement is quite shocking to see as all players need to go through the tutorial to get a better understanding of the game. But not all players have and players have said there are several reasons behind it and only the game itself is to blame.

While Helldivers 2 currently has more issues than ever, the game also suffered from a bunch of bugs and server issues upon launch. Fans have said that the server issues and bugs resulted in the achievement not recording for many players and that’s why some do not have it.

Some players said that the game crashed while they were doing the tutorial and were later on the ship so they never completed it.

There were also some who skipped training as they could not wait to play but say that will try to complete it later to get the achievement. There are also many players who may have bought the game and never played it.

This also affects the achievement percentage. Some players said that they are required to do crawl under an obstacle. Many did not do that and it could be the reason behind the missing achievement for many.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you have The Real Deal achievement? Let us know in the comments.
