The chaotic PvE co-op experience inHelldivers 2indeed feels like a scene from an action blockbuster hit. The chaos on the battlefield is indeed one of the best parts of the game, however, some players like to keep things subtle. Having a silent and sneaky approach can be fun sometimes, but the game just doesn’t allow players to do so.

Some may argue that this should be an option in the game, however, it wouldn’t make sense because all the enemies in the game are “very sensorily aware.” The Automaton and Terminid enemies are clearly not humans, they have strong powers that make it impossible for a Helldiver to get close to them without getting noticed.

Stealth Gameplay Is Never Coming ToHelldivers 2

Earlier this year, Arrowhead Game Studios’ CCO, Johan Pilestedt, playedHelldivers 2withOperatorDrewskiand talked about the popular co-op third-person shooter. During the conversation, Pilestedt made it clear that stealth gameplay is not coming to the game because it wouldn’t make sense,

It’s not really that we have stealth gameplay, it’s just that everything just has to make sense. All of the enemies they have hearing, sight, they also have like an approximation of smell within a close radius. It’s just like if you’re in proximity to some of the units that are very sensorily aware, like the Stalker, they will detect you no matter if they can see you.

The enemies in the game are just too advanced to fall for Helldivers’ sneaky approach. It just wouldn’t make sense that an enemy faction that is capable of carrying out clever plans to take over planets wouldn’t sense it coming.

Pilestedt confirmed that enemies can smell players, making it clear that there’s no way players can sneak up on them.

When Pilestedt appeared for that interview, he was certain that the game’s future was bright, however, just a few months later, the game lost most of its fanbase. It all started with the PSN account linking policy, forcing many PC players to uninstall the game. The hardcore fans tried their best to stay but the game was doomed by nerfs and Arrowhead managed to ruin its perfect PvE co-op game.

Arrowhead is nowtrying its best to fix the messit made by fixing all the weapons it nerfed. As of now, the community is happy with the changes but things can still get bad if the community doesn’t get some new content. Pilestedt has made it clear that stealth gameplay is never coming to the game, however, the studio still can somehow integrate that idea into the game, giving players new kinds of missions that require only a stealthy approach.

This would certainly boost the active player count, setting upHelldivers 2‘s strong comeback. The community is eagerly waiting for new enemies, weapons, and Stratagems, so Arrowhead must start planning the next phase.
