However, a player recently revealed in a Reddit post that the studio appears to be mocking its own players through the design of one of these missions. This user posted an image that clearly shows jammers aligned in truly impossible positions, preventing the use of any stratagems.

This has made the initial phases very positive, attracting many more players to this democracy-fighting game.

Despite the positive relationship Arrowhead Game Studios has with players, they have noticed that some mission designs are unnecessarily complicated.

In a recent Reddit post, a player noted how a mission included three signal blockers to prevent calling stratagems, forming a sort of Bermuda Triangle. Clearly, the community is not pleased about this.

Upon noticing this, a Helldivers 2 user voiced a clear complaint, questioning why the studio would design missions in this manner. Quickly, many other users joined the complaint, saying they had encountered this before and that it’s not the first time the development team has done such things.

They always seem to provoke the community by creating more complicated-than-usual missions. Beyond this complaint, players are well aware when facing different missions. As a result, the community consistently strives to communicate with and inform players about these issues.

Fans of this title always unite to achieve a common goal, as evidenced by their completion of all Major Order-type missions. Helldivers 2 has a generally high difficulty level, and undertaking such missions can be quite challenging for any player, even the most veteran ones.

Therefore, the fans’ complaint is valid in this case, as the absence of stratagems makes completing any mission quite challenging. Despite these new mission designs, players will adapt and continue spreading democracy.
