Helldivers 2 community manager has confirmed that taking Martale will win the Charon defense mission.
Polar Patriots also comes packed with new emotes, capes, and sidearms.
Already the 7th highest grossing Sony published game in history.
Helldivers 2 is already a bigger success in the US than Horizon and The Last of Us.

It’s a part of it maybe. PS players had other (bigger) choices IE FF7R
But… FF7R underperformed too. So if PS players weren’t buying that OR Helldivers… what were they buying?
@Jeb
Hasn't FF7R2 outsold Helldivers II though? So that's plenty of impact to helldivers 2. And on top of that you'd expect big games to reduce each others totals simultaneously.
In other news FF7R2 is continuing to sell well.

To add clarity, Mat of NPD announced that sales of the PS5 version by itself sold more than any other game on all platforms in 2024. Same for the PC version. This means that it sales are at least 2x of second place. That would be MW3. Each version is a massive hit on its own.
2 platforms. Almost half on PC. Then where would the other half be?
Author thinks that the game would be as successful without PS5 sales? Really?
The game is played by and enjoyed by players on both platforms. The matchmaking is great. Why try to make a divide over some silly metric like "sales on a specific platform?"
Over half are on PC, not almost half.
So yes, it would be successful without PS5
Don't know why people keep saying this is the proof of every PS game is coming to PC day 1 as it's an anomaly as all the other PS games on PC sell significantly less. Live service games day 1 on PC is what's happening from now on and i believe was already confirmed.
But i was surprised that ghost of tsushima was in the top sellers list just below spider man and god of war games. I didn't know it sold more than horizon and last of us in the US. Go sucker punch.
Multiplatform trend goes both ways. Games like Diablo, Baldur's Gate which used to be primarily designed for keyboard and mouse, are now selling pretty well on consoles too, I don't hear people saying console is eating up pc.
We are all gamers regardless of the platform. Instead of dividing ourselves we should stay as one community so that greedy publishers can’t take advantage of us
With all the rage concerning recent nerfs in Helldivers 2, one player proposed a contraverial take.
I totally agree with the reddit user. I stopped playing the game because the weapons I enjoyed using basically rendered me useless against bile titans and I don't have fun using the 'meta' because I don't enjoy being a conformist.
It's not fun when I want to use the arc Blitzer and then getting completely outclassed by a sickle user. I found myself constantly on the run using certain weapons and being more of a burden to my team than a helpful asset. Balancing just killed the fun for me. Hopefully the weapon customizations make everything viable and not just certain weapons.
Make the ems strike great again!
Obviously I'm speaking pre patch. The point still stands, bringing a stalwart renders you useless against heavies and same with laser Canon. You are forced to play a certain way at higher difficulty and to deny this is to deny reality.
Changes are going to continue happening. Some buffs some nerds. Eventually they will find the right balance but it takes time. Sickle had a lot of mags taken away but if you use it right it doesn’t matter that much until get to level 7+ and then it sucks !
Haven’t used Blitzer since patch I’ll have to see how much better it is
