It remains possible that players of Helldivers 2 will be studied in a few years, with psychologists and the military trying to find out what is their source of dedication, and if it can be weaponized. Starting with the server issues, players have stuck around for Arrowhead Studios to fix their game time and time again, and a similar opportunity has risen once again, with the transport ships refusing to take off under certain conditions.

Players are now posting about the new glitch in the game

Super samples remain an essential part of Helldivers 2, as players require them to upgrade their ships and add modules. It also remains a painstaking task to collect all of them as they are scattered throughout, and players have started dreading going after them even more ever since it has become practically impossible to carry them back due to the glitch.

As showcased via this user on Reddit, the ship that takes the player back ultimately refuses to take off at all if the soldier happens to carry with them the said sample, causing the enemy factions to eventually overwhelm any defense the helpless helldiver might have.

When you’re finally the one with the honor of carrying the Super Samples… this glitch happens 🙄

However, it would only be fair to remain lenient with the game for now, bearing in mind how Arrowhead Studios is still recovering from the loss of a huge chunk of its player base. For those who have been living in a cocoon, Sony, the company that holds the publishing rights for the title, earlier took a step in the wrong direction, prompting a huge backlash from the players.

Sony received huge backlash after they took a disastrous decision

For added context, Sony decided to mandate a PSN account for every helldiver playing the game on PC. While the decision was retracted shortly, the effects stayed, as one of the brutal ways used to force the company’s hand was putting in negative reviews on the game’s Steam storefront.

Unfortunately, another move made by Sony was to delist the game from the countries where the PlayStation Network was not available, taking away access from the likes of Egypt and Belarus. Not only has this caused the title to lose a huge chunk of its player base, but there remains no update on when the game will be available in these nations once again if it is made available at all.

Helldivers 2 is available to purchase on Steam.
