On the battlefield of _Helldivers™ 2_, the most dangerous is often not the ferocious sworm or the ruthless robot, but the teammate around you who shouts “for freedom” and holding 500kg bombs in his hand. This shooting game with teamwork as the core has unexpectedly become the best hotbed of friendly firepower, and the player community has turned all this into a grand online carnival with a unique sense of humor.
“For the super earth!” This originally passionate slogan is now full of irony in the player’s highlight video. Whenever a player accidentally injures an entire team with a grenade, or sends the mission target to the west with his teammates by air raid, this iconic shout will always be heard in the dubbing. On this chaotic battlefield, the way of spreading “freedom” seems to be a little too free.
“The price of democracy” has become the most common black humor used by players when facing the corpses of their teammates. When you accidentally smash your teammates to pieces with a magnetic cannon, or are accurately blown in the head by your teammates’ supply warehouse, a sentence “This is a necessary sacrifice” can solve all the embarrassment. In this game, the most common cause of death on the death list is not the enemy’s attack, but the “friendly greetings” from behind.
The most hilarious thing is the community’s obsession with the 500KG bomb. Whether the mission goal is to destroy the worm’s nest or occupy the stronghold, there will always be players who think that “tonnage is justice”. Therefore, there are often such scenes on the battlefield: four teammates were exchanging fire with the enemy fiercely. Suddenly, a beautiful parabola crossed the sky, and then the screen went blank — the task was completed, although the teammates also completed it together. This philosophy of “:opening the smallest lock with the largest key” has become a unique consensus among the hidden soldiers of hell.
On this chaotic battlefield, every player has experienced such a moment: you were concentrating on aiming at the enemy in the distance, and suddenly there was a familiar whistle behind you; as soon as you called for air raid support, you found that the bomb mark ran to your feet at some point; you ran to the supplies thrown by your teammates, but you were The lowered equipment box was smashed straight. These ridiculous moments eventually turned into hilarious short videos in the community.
Perhaps the most successful thing about _Helldivers™ 2_ is not its exquisite shooting feel or shocking battlefield picture, but that it unexpectedly reveals the true meaning of teamwork: the real tacit understanding is not to never make mistakes, but to face every mistake with a smile together. After all, on the road of spreading democracy, there are always a few good men must be accidentally “democratized”.
What ridiculous wounds of friends have you experienced in the game? Was it accurately sent away by the artillery fire of the teammates, or was it sent away by all kinds of strange ways? Welcome to share your “battlefield troubles” in the comment section!
