Helldivers 2 is a cooperative third-person shooter in which squads of up to four players are deployed from orbit onto hostile planets to complete strategic missions. Players select loadouts of weapons, armor, and stratagems that allow them to call in orbital strikes, supply drops, vehicles, and turrets during combat. Friendly fire is always active, requiring coordination between teammates. The game features a persistent galactic war where community-wide performance determines which planets are liberated or lost.

The story

Set a century after humanity's victory in the First Galactic War, the Federation of Super Earth harvests a valuable resource called E-710 from insectoid creatures known as Terminids across colonized worlds. When containment of the Terminids is breached, they overrun multiple planets. Simultaneously, a mechanical army called the Automatons emerges with the goal of destroying humanity. Players serve as Helldivers, elite shock troops deployed from orbit to reclaim lost territory and repel both threats in an ongoing galactic conflict shaped by the collective actions of all players.

Publisher's content notice

HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of blood and dismemberment as players exterminate the alien forces or players and squad mates are hit by environmental explosions or friendly fire. Enemy encampments and battlefield environments depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses.
