Helldivers 2,for the most part, is an extremely fun time with your friends. And sometimes, it can just turn into a lesson about what you shouldn’t be doing in an online game when sharing the platform with strangers. Especially when the team has a mutual objective, it would benefit everyone to act nicely.

In a recent turn of events, a group of Helldivers stepped into a match with a fellow random player. One of the group members decided to act rudely in their actions, which led the stranger to act violently, eventually costing the team an entire match’s worth of victory.

Frustrated, the player, in turn, killed the team and disconnected. There are a lot of lessons to be learned here, and it’s disheartening to see another great game being a victim of toxic players. If you ever decide to have fun inHelldivers 2, please do so without crossing some obvious boundaries.
The community has been responding with equal concern, asking the OP to simply find new friends rather than take this as a personal lesson. On a positive note, this behavior is rather uncommon, and most players find cooperative gamers to have a great time with.

Have Fun, but Not at the Expense of Others
The post’s comment section is filled with players who are sharing an equal sentiment: making the best of one’s time inHelldivers 2without resorting to any kind of trolling. Whether it’s a new player or a veteran who’s been playing the game for a while, it goes without saying that others should be treated fairly.

After all, the very point ofHelldivers 2is to make the most of thegame’s ridiculously fun engineand objectives, with mechanics that build a strong foundation between players. But all this makes little sense when a player intentionally tries to give someone else a tough time.
This is a common thing among online games, and it’s sad to see another great title be a part of this kind of toxicity. While there are no concrete laws as to howHelldivers 2is supposed to treat friendly fire, players can take advantage of this in the wrong ways.
