The Deep Rock Galactic Gameplay Feature We Need in Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 and Deep Rock Galactic are two of the most beloved co-op shooters in recent memory, each offering a unique take on the genre. While Helldivers 2 tasks players with spreading democracy across the galaxy through intergalactic warfare, Deep Rock Galactic sends them on thrilling adventures through alien caves.

But what if we told you that there’s a feature from Deep Rock Galactic that could elevate the Helldivers 2 experience to new heights?

No, we’re not talking about adding dwarves or mining to the game (although, let’s be real, a Helldiver with a pickaxe would be pretty awesome). Instead, we’re referring to a seemingly small but incredibly impactful addition that could make fighting for Super Earth even more satisfying.

The Button of Patriotic Fervor

The feature in question? A dedicated button for expressing sheer enthusiasm and camaraderie, as suggested by a recent post on the r/Helldivers subreddit:

At first glance, this might seem like a trivial addition. After all, Helldivers 2 already has a plethora of iconic warcries that players hear their characters shout during the heat of battle. From the classic “How ’bout a nice cup of liber-tea?!” to the ever-popular “Democracy is non-negotiable!”, there’s no shortage of ways for the game to showcase your Helldiver’s love for Super Earth.

But there’s something undeniably satisfying about having a single, dedicated button that lets you unleash a burst of pure, unadulterated patriotism. In Deep Rock Galactic, the “Rock and Stone!” button has become a

of the game’s culture, a way for players to celebrate victories, rally their teammates, and express their love for the game.

And as it turns out, Helldivers 2 players are already imagining how this feature could be adapted for their favorite game:

Picture the satisfaction of completing a particularly challenging mission, only to hear your fellow Helldivers erupt in a chorus of “FOR DEMOCRACY!” at the press of a button. It’s the kind of small but meaningful addition that could make the game’s already immersive world feel even more alive.

More Than Just a Meme

Of course, the idea of a dedicated “Democracy Button” (or perhaps the “Liberty Bell,” for those who prefer a more historical flair) isn’t just about memes and catchphrases. It’s about giving players a way to express themselves and connect with their teammates in a way that feels organic and true to the game’s world.

In Helldivers 2, this could take the form of a variety of different voice lines, each one tailored to the game’s unique brand of satirical, over-the-top patriotism. Players have already started brainstorming ideas:

From “Democracy is the only way!” to “Taste the freedom!”, the possibilities are endless. And who knows, maybe we’ll get whatever user StayAtHomeDadVR has apparently been clamoring for quite some time now:

At the end of the day, the idea of a dedicated patriotism button in Helldivers 2 might seem like a small thing. But it’s the kind of small thing that can make a big difference in terms of player engagement and immersion. It’s a way to make the game’s world feel more alive, more responsive, and more fun.

So what do you think, Helldivers? Is it time to bring a little bit of Deep Rock Galactic‘s energy to the ****** for galactic democracy? Let us know in the comments below!
