In the popular shooter “Helldivers 2”, players must work together with their team to be successful. However, some users apparently did not receive this memo.
There is probably no new game currently struggling with such a rush of users as “Helldivers 2” from Arrowhead Game Studios. The title was released for PlayStation 5 and PC at the beginning of February and struggled with problems with matchmaking or login in its first few days.
Now the server capacity increased to 700,000 concurrent players. With so many users, it can apparently happen that you come across other players who want to hoard all the resources for themselves and literally kill themselves in the process. This is despite the fact that samples, super credits and medals are actually shared with all members of the team.
Some players are apparently too keen on resources
There have been increasing reports on social media lately about players killing members of their own team in order to secure resources. In the “Helldivers 2” subreddit you can often read about team kills or kicks out of the party because of loot. Some users blame streamers of the game for this behavior. “I have never seen streamers do so much damage to a player base,” wrote one user on Reddit. “I just got (team killed) and kicked out of a group for stealing samples.”
“I picked up a rare sample and a guy immediately shot me with a grenade launcher and grabbed it,” complains another player. “I dropped about 20 feet away and killed him right back. Bro, we can do this all day or we can kill bugs, stop wasting my time.” Other users complained that they were killed by their fellow players for loot that they “already have” or have to discuss shared resources with their team, only to be riveted or kicked out of the group.
While the players of “Helldivers 2” have to sort out the problem with the loot among themselves, the shooter is still in great demand. Most recently, the Arrowhead title set another new record on Steam with 458,709 simultaneous players. Even if there is no precise information about the PS5 versions, sales in Europe are expected to increase Share of 50:50 between Sony's console and the PC.
