Super Earth needs every volunteer to fight evil. New players on Xbox are warmly welcomed by veterans of the galactic war.
After a week of continuous attacks from all sides, fresh recruits have joined Super Earth. Helldivers 2 is available on Xbox, which has slightly disrupted the balance in the galaxy. But this has not spoiled the morale of the veterans — on the contrary, they are actively helping newcomers.
On Reddit, the Helldivers 2 community is filled with gratitude from Xbox players who were greeted in a friendly manner and provided with the necessary equipment and mechs. Veterans from PlayStation and PC are descending to lower difficulty levels to support newcomers.
I pre-ordered the game and waited for it like a child on Christmas. I even set my alarm for 3 a.m. to start training. During the first match, I pressed SOS. In less than 15 seconds, two more people (above level 100) joined me and immediately left some great stuff (...). And the most interesting thing? They both wrote in the chat: "Hey, dude, try these," and helped me for the next three hours.
Considering how toxic online games are, such a launch is a breath of fresh air, and the community is simply wonderful. I realized they were good people when I accidentally pressed a button on someone's backpack, and they hugged me, writing: "Hug me, brother," and we all rushed into the light of freedom together.” — shared DrifterzProdigy.
I'm in my early thirties, and I enjoyed Halo 3 and Reach the most. The old team doesn't have as much time as they would like, but we try to get together to play at least once a week. This week, we got together to play Helldivers 2. It was a leap into the unknown, and we had no idea what we were doing. We rushed through missions, just completing the main tasks and collecting things. We felt the difficulty even on the "easy" difficulty level.
Then a player Chad level 127 appears. He left us jetpacks, mechs, and new weapons, saying we should try them out as a greeting. He explained how side quests and sample collection work, and then told us to RUN after he initiates a napalm strike, dropping a bomb. We had a real blast.
In an era where online communities are full of toxic people and interaction with random players is uncertain, this reminded me of the times when we helped newcomers. I want to thank this legendary player. Communicating with him convinced us to stay in this game for months to come. I'm glad to be here, hell divers. Let's save democracy together” — wrote MaximumCashew0.
Even in the age of toxic online communities, such interactions restore faith in players. Arrowhead Game Studios also encourages helping newcomers. Players not only have fun, but also experience a sense of civic duty.
