Helldivers 2 is a fun multiplayer shooter experience but will greatly depend on who players are teamed up with. Each individual has unique characteristics and attitudes that can be drawn from their upbringings and the results are downright offensive and cruel towards fellow players.

Toxicity in gaming is not unheard of but some players can get too worked up over something as simple as in-game builds. Some players will resort to verbal abuse to convey what they believe is right for the game when it is quite the opposite and goes against everything it stands for.

Some of These Helldivers 2 Players Are Getting Out of Hand

The Helldivers 2 community needs to dial back on the verbal abuse.

Arrowhead Game Studios is doing everything humanely possible to give the gaming community the best live service experience possible and not everyone is satisfied with the efforts. Some players are not too keen on the greatly reduced spawn rate of enemy patrols for solo sessions in Helldivers 2 which can be easily remedied by the developers. Unfortunately, the technical side of the game is not the only problem the developers need to focus on, and should check on the human element.

People often pick on those who are different or who act in a manner that is not common. It is an unfortunate hand for players who fall victim to this kind of treatment to be dealt with but the developers should also exert more effort in mitigating these kinds of situations.

The gaming community has forgotten the core and theme of Johan Pilestedt’s vision for this game which is to be kind to one another. It is easy to stoke the flames of toxicity but there is no version of it having a positive outcome and will only encourage bullies to carry out this sort of behavior, the community managers need to get ahead and put an end to it swiftly.

Players should allow bullies to push them around and dictate how they wish to play the game. This rude and unruly behavior should not be condoned by any gaming community and the developers need to have a firm stance against it to protect those who are playing to have a good time.

Arrowhead Game Studios needs to act quickly before this kind of behavior will continue to grow out of hand. Perhaps the moderators should be more vigilant, strict, and observant of how the community interacts with one another.

The whole point of being provided with different weapon options is to improve the variety and encourage the gaming community to think outside the box and experiment with these items. Discovering newer and more efficient methods to handle a combat scenario.

Weapons do not define the man who uses it but how it is used, other players fail to recognize that and are too uncomfortable seeing unconventional methods in a game they think they know. Both new and old players share the same stratagem perks and it all comes down to how they use it to determine who is better regardless of levels.
