About Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is a game where players work together to shoot enemies, made by Arrowhead Game Studios and released by Sony Interactive Entertainment in 2024. It's the follow-up to Helldivers, which came out in 2015. You can play it on PlayStation 5 and Windows, starting from February 8, 2024. Critics liked it, and it sold over 8 million copies in just two months.

Helldivers 2 Plot

Helldivers 2 happens 100 years after "Super Earth" won against the Cyborgs, Terminids, and Illuminate. They found out that when the Terminids die, they make something called E-710, which is very valuable. People set up farms on planets, but the bugs get out and cause a lot of problems and damage.

At the same time, another danger comes up: the Automatons, a bunch of robots that want to wipe out humans. The game starts with a video asking for new Helldivers, who are super soldiers sent from space to take back the colonized areas. As you play, you can find lots of stuff that tells stories about the world, like notes and messages.

Helldivers 2 Gameplay

Helldivers 2 is different from the first game because it's a third-person shooter, not a top-down one. It still has 'stratagems,' like cluster bombs and sentry guns, from the first game. In this game, you can accidentally hurt your friends, as friendly fire is always on.

Helldivers 2 doesn't have split-screen co-op like the first game. Instead, it allows up to four players to team up online. There's no single-player story mode, but you can play with friends across PlayStation 5 and Windows. At the start, the game developers watched players and changed things as they played.

In the game, there's a battle pass that lasts forever. Players earn in-game money like war-bond medals and requisition slips by finishing tasks. As players level up, they unlock new weapons and tactics. Plus, completing missions helps free planets, shown on the Galactic Map.
