Joel, Helldivers 2‘s benevolent God, has been missing from his heavenly observatory above the frontlines and took with him the free Strategems he used to give out. And now the masterless Helldivers are wondering: Where did he go?

“Whatever happened to Joel giving us free stratagems to use,” asked Reddit user TheQuixotic6 in a thread published on May 17. They detailed the freebies Joel used to hand out to Helldivers participating in the game’s initial Major Orders, such as four 500Kg bombs per run, a fifth Strategem slot, or unique Support Weapons to help Helldivers push through the trenches. However, they also pointed out how Joel seems to have ceased doing that and has slowed down his benevolence, which some say has to do with “balance.”
