Helldivers 2 Community Are Organizing a Campaign In Fallen Diver’s Memory

One of the main reasons Helldivers 2 managed to get through a rough patch in 2024 was its positive community. Toxicity is a part of almost every multiplayer game. However, the way the Helldivers 2 community deals with it is what makes the game so special. The game strongly promotes teamwork and it seems like the concept is beyond just the game for the community as a siege of Vernen Wells has been organized to honor a player who lost their life in a car accident.

Recently, a player revealed that they lost their squad member in a motorcycle accident and the comments were filled with positive messages from the community. The way players honor the fallen soldiers is what makes the community so special and is one of the main reasons why Helldivers 2 has managed to become one of the best co-op games in the world.

A Helldivers 2 player on the r/helldivers2 subreddit has revealed that they have lost their friend, Colin Keough, in a car accident. The player revealed that Keough loved to fight the bots and to honor him, a siege of Vernen Wells has been organized. At the time of writing, Vernen Wells has been roughly 65% liberated as players are fighting hard to take over the planet in his memory.

Players quickly filled the comment section with cheerful messages and promised to show up on Vernen Wells to wipe out all the bots on the planet. Undoubtedly, no game community in the world honors its fallen soldiers like this and this is what makes the game so special.

This is not the first time the community has showcased such kindness as recently the players paid their respects to a fallen soldier who lost their life in a motorcycle accident.

Since day one, Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 has promoted teamwork and it’s certainly exciting to see that players are applying those same concepts in real life by honoring their teammates. Like many other multiplayer games, Helldivers 2 also has some toxic players, however, the way the community deals with the negativity is what stops toxicity from ruining the gaming experience for everyone.

The game faced several setbacks, especially after Sony tried to impose the PSN account linking policy on PC players. The game lost a significant part of its player base and was on the verge of dying. Arrowhead’s decision to prioritize players’ feedback saved the game as unnecessary nerfs and a lack of fresh content were the primary reasons why there was a drop in the active player count. Once again, Helldivers 2 is one of the most popular games in the world, all thanks to the loyal players who trusted Arrowhead.
