Honestly I didn’t even know this was something people were clamoring for.
The premise of the first and second game is built off friendly fire. You can’t have Helldivers without friendly fire.
Friendly fire isn’t.
I remember the first time I learned this lesson. Cluster bomb called in, killed the other 3 of my team. I learned it again on the 120mm HE, and the 380mm HE. The mortar sentry.
Bouncing a 500kg off something right into your face will never not get a hearty laugh from me. We can send beacons into space, but we can’t mark a location without being in dangerously close range.
Half of the fun and challenge of this game is trying not to tk your squad lol
And the other half is seeing them die in an airstrike.
Mortars are tk machines, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Teslas are even better!
Yup. Nothing like queuing up the arc thrower, fail to pay attention to where you’re stepping, fall and smoke your friend.
My brain has a bit of trouble comprehending every time I see this headline. Of fucking course friendly fire isn’t going anywhere. It’s in several PvE games and was a crucial part of HD1. Why is this even a sentence that was spoken? The bizarre effects of niche things becoming popular.

I have to be honest, i prefer friendly fire to be off in all multiplayer games. Helldivers 2? No, that shit has to stay on
It’s hysterical being sent hundreds of meters in the air by your teams explosions, most fun I’ve had in years.
Good. It’s an integral part of the game.
The game would trivial with no friendly fire. Just take 4 eagle stratagems and throw one at your feet when it gets hairy
people that ask for things like this should receive in game penalties… cosmetic restrictions at least…
Make em wear a cape with a bullseye on it. And have chat say what ring you shot on it.
I’m thinking maybe I should give this game a shot… but I don’t typically enjoy FPS. Will need to consider things.
It’s third person with optional first person ADS.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this 40 dollar game. It’s got the least offensive mtx I’ve seen in a long, long while and it’s honestly a GaaS done mostly right.
Hell yes. Mad respect.
