Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 is an online cooperative third-person shooter built around four-player squads fighting for Super Earth across a persistent Galactic War. Each deployment sends Helldivers into procedurally generated planetary missions where teams complete objectives, destroy enemy positions, gather resources, call down weapons and support through Stratagems, and survive long enough to extract while friendly fire remains permanently active. Long-term progression comes from unlocking Stratagems, upgrading the Super Destroyer with Samples, earning War Medals for Warbonds, customizing equipment, and contributing to community Major Orders against the Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate.

Gameplay and setting
Players serve as elite Helldivers fighting for Super Earth in a persistent Galactic War against threats including the Terminids, Automatons, and Illuminate. Missions begin from the Super Destroyer and send squads into procedurally generated planetary battlefields to complete primary and secondary objectives, destroy enemy positions, gather Samples and other resources, and reach extraction. Operations can contain multiple missions, while Major Orders and Galactic Campaigns connect individual deployments to shared community progress. Stratagems let players call down support weapons, ammunition, orbital attacks, Eagle airstrikes, sentries, vehicles, and other battlefield tools by entering command sequences. Friendly fire is always active, so positioning and coordination matter as much as firepower. Long-term progression uses Requisition to unlock Stratagems, Samples to improve Ship Modules, and War Medals to unlock items from Warbonds. Super Credits can be earned during play or purchased and are used for Warbonds and other supported acquisition routes.
