In one of the healthiest video game stories of the year, veterans Hell 2 Players who saw and did everything on PC and PlayStation 5 are helping Xbox Newmers, with player numbers reaching new heights.
Arrowhead's Sony-Publy published third-person collaborative shooter launched this week on Xbox Series X and S, and according to the developer's CEO, agreed to hit an incredible 500,490 players on all platforms.
But the Helldivers 2 community is celebrating another milestone: the gathering of all the players to help recruits on Xbox. Helldivers 2, as anyone who plays it for more than a few hours will know, will be a panic-causing experience, intentionally picky control and a certain complexity that can make it start as an easy-going task that will quickly get into chaos.
The Helldivers 2's focus on physics-driven gameplay and friendly fires could also bring a daunting experience for newcomers. That's what fans of the game love it, and new immigrants through Xbox are getting to grips with.
So it's great to see stories from other players scattered across Helldivers subreddit, Discord and social media channels that either thank others for their collaborative mastery or just provide the community with a whole.

“I quit training for the first time and I immediately called the machine gun and noticed a 'SOS beacon', so I called it too.” “Not even 15 seconds later, the two joined (both at level 100+) and immediately dripped onto the ground with something painted on the butt. Quasar, Mech Suit, Mech Suit, other things I don't know yet when it comes to the ordnance aspect. Is the best part the best part of the chat? They both said in the chat, “Welcome brothers, then try these games and guide me in the next three hours of gameplay.”
“Now, the community is absolutely great with how toxic online games can be fresh air. Interact with it. When I accidentally pressed a button on a boy's backpack, I knew I was in a good community and all he did was give me a hug and typed “Hold my brother” because we shine with glorious liberation.”
Experienced players are now looking for Xbox players to help, scan for low-level tasks and view player levels before joining. At the time of this article, the 1-15 players are usually Xbox players, but of course, the series will fluctuate as the Helldivers 2's Xbox launch head enters its first weekend.
“I called the mecha and they always came in like puppies after tennis.” Redditor themostoneshow says. “It’s really cute.”
“I always avoid the mechas where high-level players are falling because I don't want them to think they are stealing it,” the awkward Split-71 answered. “I’m an Xbox player.”
Then, continuing the wholesome communication, Therealpitabred explained: “If they ping, they want you to get into it. Source: me, level 150 with toys.”
It was a particularly good moment for Helldivers 2, after the Halo: ODST Crossover event, it had some compelling new gaming experiences. An unfair update to be released on September 2 will bring the Hells into Hive Worlds, which includes towering buildings built by terminals below the planet's surface.
