The Galactic Freedom Radio 97.1 FM sounds like it could pass for an official in-game radio station feature for Helldivers 2. The playlist could be used for loading screens or in the menu when players are waiting to get into a game match. Johan Pilestedt is getting the recognition he deserves in public and was greeted with a salute, this playlist does the same manner of honoring the man with a musical twist.

These tunes can get the players in the correct mind space with a little background music that allows them to be mentally prepared and comprehend the dangers they are about to face. Other than the fact they are just insanely good parodies that fit the themes of the game, they add more depth and elevate the sense of immersion.
