Whenever that happens during playtests, Beroshi states it’s always a laugh that follows rather than annoyance. “We don’t want death to feel like a vast loss. In the universe, Super Earth doesn’t care about your lives enough. They are just throwing human bodies into the meat grinder. So it also supports the satire. Like this idea that you work for a society that you have been brainwashed into perfectly and wonderfully loving, and yet this is how it treats its soldiers.”
Luckily, each mission in Helldivers 2 has you packing with plenty of revives, so if your fellow player does get caught up in your weapon’s fire, they can be brought back — the levels we played during our preview session each had roughly 20 revive tokens for the team of four to use. Will you make sure your friends “accidentally” get caught in your line of fire? Kill them off in the comments below.
