The popularity ofHelldivers 2is hidden from any gamer right now. Most people are currently playing this surprise hit nowadays, and those who are not playing it are interested in trying it out. One reason for its elevated player count on both the PlayStation 5 and PC is the fact that it has a co-op mode. This means most players are playing with their friends.
Developer Arrowhead Game Studios is not hiding their happiness either. They are enthusiastically fixing any issue that this game might be facing. And they have also been working on expanding the server capacity ofHelldivers 2, but there’s one thing they have vowed to never do, and it is somewhat surprising.
Helldivers 2developer suggests the game might never receive a PVP mode
Call of Dutyis one of the most successful first-person franchises on the market. Gamers everywhere wait enthusiastically for this title to launch every time a new installment in this series is announced. The main pull of these games is their multiplayer mode, in which teams of players compete against each other, trying to win several rounds of different games.
Helldivers 2 Server Issues May be a Thing of the Past with New Feature AND It’ll Give Us a Chance in the Fight for Democracy Too
They shoot each other, stab each other, and blow each other with air strikes. And if its success is any evidence, this never gets old. And so this series continues to grow at an exponential rate, year by year.
Elden Ring, on the other hand, is a massive role-playing game that players mostly explore and complete alone. Players are allowed to invite their friends into the game and help them with boss battles that might be too hard for them. But some players dedicate their lives to just raiding other player’s games and eliminating them.
This is called invading; on the other hand, FromSoftware has also given fans access to something called the Colosseum. In this large area, players can duke it out with each other as much as they want. While this feature is not the main focus ofElden Ring, it makes the game a bit livelier.
ButHelldivers 2 fans would never know how it feels to kill their fellow players. This comes after Arrowhead CEOJohan Pilestedt repliedto a Twitter post asking for a PVP with“Hey, we’ll “never” add a PvP mode. This is to reduce toxic elements in the community. We want an environment that’s supportive, fun, and where we all are fighting on the same side.”

Some suggest that the inclusion of PVP mode might make games a bit toxic for newcomers. And it’s a good thing ifHelldivers 2never gets this mode; it would only make the game more approachable. This makes sense and confuses me at the same time. Because games with PVP modes do not automatically end up being toxic.
But still, go on with them for trying to keep their community as clean and refined as they can. But if a community has to be toxic, sometimes co-op games can also end up forming a toxic community. Here’s hoping this never happens andHelldivers 2players always remain friendly.
Helldivers 2fans do not mind not getting a PVP mode
Fans all over have heard this comment. Some are in support of it, and others are just giving their own two cents about this situation. Nevertheless, theHelldivers 2community keeps growing into something the developers themselves had never expected.

This might not mean the arrival of a PVP mode, but it can mean that a DLC is incoming or maybe a larger and better-looking sequel.
