You Can See Helldivers 2 Players Using Their Stratagems From Space In Real-Time
10.02.2024 - 18:59 / thegamer.com / You Can / Space
Helldivers 2 proves that it's showing the Galactic War in real-time by letting you see other players using their Stratagems from your space station.
The past few weeks have been huge for gaming thanks to releases like Persona 3 Reload, Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but it looks like things aren't slowing down anytime soon. Helldivers 2 just launched a few days ago and, while it had a bit of a rocky start on Steam, the developers have quickly fixed things up and it seems to be a hit with players.
One of the most interesting things about Helldivers 2 is how it portrays the Galactic War, the main conflict between Helldivers and the bugs and robots they're taking on. As you complete missions on different planets to try and liberate them, you'll see percentage meters going up representing how much of the planet has been helped by the efforts of you and other players, which is meant to show off the always-online world and the work everyone else is putting in.
Although it might be easy to assume at first that the Galactic War is just a bunch of smoke and mirrors designed to keep you playing and jumping back to different planets to tackle percentage metters, it really does appear that the game is rendering it all in real-time. Over on Twitter, zrd92490 pointed out a really cool detail that you might have missed that makes it clear that there are a ton of other Helldivers out there fighting the same fight as you.
Before you jump into a mission and start trying to gun down bugs, you'll find yourself in your own space station. If you head over to the viewing platform and look down at the planet below you, there's a chance that you'll see other players using their powerful Stratagem abilities, like being able to call in airstrikes and ask for ammo, all the way from space. You can also see lasers being fired down, Helldivers being dropped on the planet, and even some firefights if you look close enough.
Another cool detail noted in the thread is that moving to a new planet actually causes your ship to start flying in that direction and hover over the location, proving that it's not just a menu.
It's hard to tell until you've put a bit of time into the game, but the blue and red beacons that you see scattered across the planets are all Stratagems that have been thrown out by players as they call in to ask for supplies and backup. It's a neat detail that a lot of people will likely overlook, and one that adds a lot to Helldivers 2's persistent online world.

Your Least Favorite Helldivers 2 Enemy Is Actually The Game’s Best
has a lot of enemies that can be frustrating to fight, but one of the most annoying to encounter is actually interesting in a way that none of the others can claim. Enemies in can be divided into two factions – Terminids, which appear as insectoid alien creatures, and Automatons, which are robotic and heavily armored. Both draw on classic science-fiction tropes, with Terminids in particular invoking the Arachnids that show up in, an obvious inspiration for the satirical jingoism of
