The gaming community grew to become observant and noticed even the most minute detail. The developers are committed to delivering an authentic, realistic, and immersive gaming experience but the fans caught one error that goes directly against everything they stood for.

Arrowhead Game Studios were caught off guard to see how well the game resonated with the gaming community. The players are doing their part to keep the game afloat not only by playing but by throwing creative suggestions for the developers to hear, and the most recent one is a jetpack to give the players of Helldivers 2 another great option for traversal.

The ideas and suggestions may benefit the game but the developers must meet the players halfway. Game development is not for the faint of heart and the game’s current state is far from desirable which ruins immersion.

How come our armor is the only thing getting stained with blood? Is our skin just THAT democratic?

Casualties and losses on either side will never veer too far from warfare and blood will be spilled all over the battlefield. Some players can’t help but notice the stain only attaches to the armor while the skin remains clean which makes it unrealistic.

It wasn’t long ago when the game and the developers were nominated for a handful of awards which makes it ironic since one of them is for Best Technical Innovation and director Johan Pilestedt took a sarcastic jab but is grateful for the nomination. The game has seen better days and the developers will most likely find a solution for the blood stain bug.

The developers were getting the fans excited for the last major update and it broke more than it fixed. Perhaps this new bug is spawned out of the instability errors that most players are experiencing.

The gaming community’s attention to detail is a testament to how well the game was received and can spot even small errors and inconsistencies. These issues might go unnoticed by casual players but can be bothersome to dedicated fans who value realism and immersion.

Arrowhead Game Studios has proven time and time again that the studio is capable of fixing any mistake. It would be unwise to bet against the developers and undermine their game development skills.

Director Johan Pilestedt envisioned the game to be the perfect live service experience for the world to share and these are merely minor setbacks. It will only be a matter of time before the developers perfect the game with little to no issues.
