Helldivers 2 is and has always been one big parody of itself narrative wise, with Arrowhead playing into the absurdity that comes with all of its Starship Troopers-esque declarations of patriotic fervour. The game’s community has bought into this in pretty hilarious roleplaying style plenty of times, but its latest instance might be the most unexpected yet.
First of all, you’ve no doubt heard about the whole backlash that’s been going on to some of the the Escalation of Freedom update’s balancing changes, which Arrowhead’s now issued a whole plan in response to. Well, that snowballed into an in-game protest from frustrated players attempting to let the Automatons reach Super Earth in the game’s galactic war, and said protest’s now taken on a whole life of its own.
If you head to the Helldivers 2 subreddit today, you’ll likely see a bunch of posts mentioning a group known as the “Chaosdivers”, with this seemingly being the name players have come up with for the movement among them which wants to see Super Earth fall, having lost faith in the original Helldivers’ cause.
