Gameplay

Helldivers 2 is a live service player versus environment (PvE) shooter game played primarily from a third-person perspective. It features cooperative multiplayer with up to four players, and does not include a dedicated single-player campaign. It provides optional cross-play. Players complete operations consisting of 1-3 procedurally generated levels (missions), conducting tasks within the missions (objectives), while facing hordes of enemies. Players choose the difficulty level of their operations, ranging from level 1 ("Trivial") to level 10 ("Super Helldive"). Players enter missions by dropping onto planets from their Super Destroyer starship in a transportation device called a "Hellpod". A core gameplay feature carried over from the first game is the use of Stratagems, powerful equipment which must be called in from their Super Destroyer by executing a sequence of directional button or arrow key inputs. Players may select up to four stratagems in advance to bring into the mission, as well as a "Booster" which affects the whole team. Friendly fire is always on during missions.

Players can obtain in-game currency which may be discovered in the environment during missions, or awarded by completing operations, missions, and objectives. As players gain experience and progress in levels, they unlock different weapons and Stratagems. Players gain experience points toward their overall level. Upon initial release, the highest level a player could reach was 50; this was subsequently increased to 150 in April 2024, and to 300 in August 2026. Players can collect samples during missions, which are used to upgrade the player's Super Destroyer, providing advantages during gameplay. By completing operations, players contribute to the collective progress of "Major Orders", which are mass-collaborative missions that directly affect the outcome of the Galactic War in-game. Players can also complete daily challenges known as "Personal Orders" for lesser rewards. Introduced in June 2026, the "Control Center" within the Super Destroyer allows players…
