It’s no secret thatHelldivers 2is going through a rough patch, with the game facing several controversies in the last few months regarding weapon balancing changes and the PlayStation account link situation still lingering unresolved. Many of the players who aren’t happy with the current state of the game have taken toreview-bombingHelldivers 2, boycotting the game, or both. However, one growing group of players has taken a more creative approach to protesting the recent changes to the game.
Despite some of the controversies the game has faced,Helldivers 2has still retained a following of dedicated fans. Among those who still regularly playHelldivers 2is a large portion of players who enjoy role-playing, leaning into the game’s military sim elements. One such fan community that has become a hot topic acrossHelldivers 2’s social media groups is the Chaosdivers.
Helldivers 2’s Chaosdivers Fan-Made Faction Explained
Players who are involved in some ofHelldivers 2’s social media groups or the game’s official Discord server may have seen mention of the developers responding to players' requests to add a clans/platoons feature to the game. While the possibility of this feature coming to afuture update forHelldivers 2remains uncertain for the time being, some players have already begun forming organized groups outside of the game. One of these new fan-made factions, the Chaosdivers, has become a relatively hot topic within the game’s community, partly due to some bad apples that have given this group a poor reputation.
So far, there has been no official confirmation of whether a clan-like social feature will be introduced toHelldivers 2. However, developers in the game’s official Discord server have mentioned that it is being considered for a future update.
Chaosdivers Are Against Griefing and Friendly Fire in Helldivers 2
Over on the many community Subreddits dedicated to the game, Chaosdivers have become a trending topic after a few players shared experiences where Chaosdivers disrupted missions byteam-killing inHelldivers 2. Despite the Chaosdivers having a strict policy against intentional friendly fire and griefing, posts like this on the r/Helldivers2 Subreddit have given the Chaosdivers a misleading reputation.
While it’s unclear if these are truthful stories of Chaosdivers purposefully griefing, as mentioned, Chaosdivers explicitly denounce any kind of griefing, including intentional friendly fire. According to the r/Chaosdivers Subreddit, Chaosdivers are a roleplaying community who share a resentment forHelldivers 2’s recent balancing changes, yet they continue to play the game despite its flaws.
Chaosdivers Make Their Own Major Orders in Helldivers 2
As a lore-accurate way of protestingHelldivers 2’s controversial weapon nerfs, Chaosdivers intentionally avoid participating in the current Major Order to show their distrust of Super Earth’s high command. There is an important distinction to make regarding the Chaosdiver’s signature brand of in-game protests though, which is to say that they aren’t griefers. Instead of purposely failing the currentMajor Orders inHelldivers 2by griefing public lobbies and/or intentionally failing missions, Chaosdivers have been known to make their own Major Orders to still do their part and play a unique role inHelldivers 2’s Galactic War.
Since its release, it’s become clear thatHelldivers 2has grown far beyond the studio’s expectations, so the creation of groups like the Chaosdivers likely comes as a big surprise to both fans and developers alike. In hindsight, groups like the Chaosdivers are all the more reason whyHelldivers 2should bite the bullet and introduce an in-game clans feature. However, even without proper in-game methods for organizing, the overallHelldivers 2community is still packed with some seriously dedicated, hopeful fans despite all the recent controversies the game has faced.
