Stop Listening to Helldivers 2 YouTubers Who are Sucking the F Out of Fun in the Game

In the vast expanse of Super Earth’s galactic war, Helldivers 2 has captured the hearts of millions with its chaotic, over-the-top action and *******-in-cheek humor. But as with any popular game, a new breed of “experts” has emerged, ready to tell you exactly how you should be playing.

These self-proclaimed Helldivers 2 gurus flood

with clickbait titles along the lines of “You’re using X *******/stratagem all wrong!” and “You’re literally jeopardizing your team if you’re not doing this!”

But here’s a ******** thought: what if the best strategy in this game isn’t about min-maxing your loadout or following some arbitrary meta? What if the best strategy is simply to… have fun?

“Experts” and Their Fun-Sucking Ways

If you’ve spent any time browsing Helldivers 2 content on

, you’ve probably come across videos with thumbnails featuring exaggerated facial expressions and titles that scream, “You’re playing Helldivers 2 ALL WRONG!” These self-appointed experts seem to have forgotten one crucial aspect of gaming: it’s supposed to be fun.

Take, for example, the age-old debate about how to properly use the MG-43 Machine ****. Some YouTubers insist that controlled bursts are the only way to go. But as one

Let’s be real here: when you’re facing down a horde of bugs or bots, is your first instinct to carefully measure your shots, or is it to unleash a torrent of hot lead while cackling maniacally? If you chose the latter, congratulations! You’re playing Helldivers 2 exactly as the Super Earth *********** department…err, Ministry of Truth intended.

In fact, the game itself encourages this kind of unbridled enthusiasm:

That’s the sound of democracy being spread, folks. And it’s beautiful.

Here’s the thing about Arrowhead‘s sci-fi shooter: it’s not a competitive esports title. It’s a cooperative horde shooter where the fun comes from working together to overcome overwhelming odds while everything explodes around you. Trying to apply strict, competitive strategies to this glorious chaos is like trying to organize a mosh pit—it misses the point entirely.

As one wise Helldiver pointed out:

Exactly! When you have the power to unleash 900 rounds per minute of freedom, why would you hold back? The bugs and bots certainly aren’t showing any restraint, so why should you?

And let’s not forget the recent buffs that have been introduced to the game courtesy of Arrowhead’s “60-day plan.” These updates have effectively leveled the playing field, making almost any loadout viable. There’s no need to chase some arbitrary “meta” when you can succeed with whatever combination of weapons and stratagems tickles your fancy.

Indeed. In a game where the goal is to chew bubblegum and spread managed democracy across the galaxy, min-maxing seems like a waste of perfectly good ammo.

So, the next time you drop into a mission, ignore those

“experts” telling you how to play. Instead, embrace the chaos, let loose with your favorite weapons, and most importantly, have fun. After all, nothing says “For Super Earth!” quite like a Helldiver laughing maniacally while turning aliens into swiss cheese.
