Helldivers 2 is a third-person cooperative tactical shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Set in the 22nd century, players assume the role of elite Helldivers, soldiers of Super Earth, a satirical "managed democracy."
Gameplay
The game begins in 2184, a century after the First Galactic War, as the containment of genetically engineered Terminids fails and the Automaton mechanical army emerges. Players deploy from a Super Destroyer starship via Hellpods to reclaim colonized planets through missions involving combat, objective securing, and extraction. The gameplay emphasizes teamwork for up to four players, featuring always-on friendly fire. Core mechanics center on "Stratagems"—powerful support abilities like airstrikes and turrets activated through directional inputs. Players earn resources to upgrade equipment and ship systems, with no pay-to-win mechanics.
Forklifts
There are forklifts scattered across the game world. The game's environmental storytelling includes a news story on in-game monitors featuring a joke about the "Voteless" showing a strange brain-activity spike and affection toward forklifts.
