Helldivers 2, the new multiplayer title developed by Arrowhead Game Studios and distributed by Sony Interactive Entertainment It is without a doubt one of the greatest video games of the moment. With almost 500,000 players active at all hours, the war to save the super earth of the powerful Automatons It has generated a lot of cooperation in this enormous community. One of the most recent missions managed to unite more than 180,000 people to liberate the planet Veld How did this happen?
The organization of Helldivers 2 players is surprising
One of the most notable mechanics of Helldivers 2 are its “major orders”, in which all the players in the world, connected through the Internet, are ordered to come together to achieve a common goal. On this occasion, the order was given to liberate the planet known as Veld of a swarm of enormous insects known as Terminides. This would not be an easy task, due to the combat difficulty of these insects and the fact that the mission took place on a single individual planet. But the reward was very tempting, since they would be granted 45 medals (The currency of the game) to everyone involved.
All Helldivers 2 players in the world needed to work together in an orderly manner if they were to overcome this dangerous Greater Order. That is why a global call was made, since it had been estimated that around 300,000 players simultaneous to save Veld. After all, the planet’s recovery rate was 7%, which indicated that it was going to be quite difficult. After the initial call, the players were able to organize themselves through numerous social networks, such as Twitter either redditand they even connected through the Discord game official. This was a process of global cooperation done at a truly astonishing level and speed.
All of this could be seen on the data collection site, Helldivers.io. Although they did not manage to accumulate the necessary 300,000 players, around 120,000 were accumulated in record time, which would later grow to more than 180,000. In just a few hours, this group of Helldivers 2 players managed to free Veld completely, ensuring the reward for everyone. Then again, there was another factor at play: Someone at Arrowhead was playing with the numbers, changing Vald’s recovery rate from 7% to 3% and then to twenty%.
Johan Pilestedtthe CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, once spoke to the site PC Gamer and told how the multiplayer experience of Helldivers 2 is very inspired by Dungeons & Dragons. This is due to the existence of a developer who fulfills a function similar to that of a “Dungeon Master” in the famous role-playing game. His name is simply joel and he is in charge of adding different unexpected twists to the missions to impact the players. According to Pilestedt, Joel takes his job very seriously, so everyone should be careful with his tricks.
However, on this occasion, more than 180,000 Helldivers 2 players managed to beat Joel at their own game and liberated Veld in record time. We congratulate you, and hope you all enjoy the juicy reward from it.
