Is Helldivers 2 on its Final Breath? Bug Missions are Leading to Quiet Extracts and Fans are Not Happy

Arrowhead Game Studios is determined to make Helldivers 2 popular again and so far, the studio has managed to improve many elements of the game. The game was losing its fanbase at an alarming rate, so Arrowhead came up with a 60-day plan to completely fix the game using players’ feedback.

Well, the battle to make Helldivers 2 better continues for Arrowhead as players have found another issue in the game. A player on Reddit has complained that some Terminid missions suffer from a problem called “quiet extracts.” After completing objectives and clearing the map, players have to wait three minutes for extraction, making things less chaotic than they were.

A viral post on the r/Helldivers2 subreddit has pointed out that Helldivers 2 has become less chaotic. The player claimed that Terminid missions on level 10 become boring after calling in extraction. While waiting for three minutes, there are no bugs to kill apart from the ones that are guarding any locations, making the game less chaotic. The rest of the community also shared its input on the matter.

Quiet extracts are really disappointing

Indeed, chaos made Helldivers 2 a very exciting game. However, Arrowhead Game Studios has not tweaked this gameplay element since its release. The only reason why Terminid units spawn less while waiting for extraction in some missions is because the extraction is close to the map edge. It has been like this since February 2024.

At one point, Helldivers 2 was one of the most popular games in the world, but very soon, the game lost most of its fanbase. The lack of new content and unnecessary nerfs frustrated the community, even the hardcore fans. To undo the damage, Arrowhead Game Studios came up with a 60-day plan to fix the game.

As for quiet extracts, if players are looking for action, then they should do more Automaton missions as they show no mercy. There are rumors about a new unit joining the Automaton faction, so things are about to get a lot more chaotic.

Arrowhead has improved many fan-favorite Stratagems and weapons. By giving these weapons a buff, the game is slowly becoming how it initially was and that’s exactly what the community wants. As of now, it’s safe to say that Arrowhead is on the right path and they have promised to do more in the future.
