Helldivers 2andDeep Rock Galacticare two of the most beloved co-op shooters in recent memory, each offering a unique take on the genre. WhileHelldivers 2tasks players with spreading democracy across the galaxy through intergalactic warfare,Deep Rock Galacticsends them on thrilling adventures through alien caves.
But what if we told you that there’s a feature fromDeep Rock Galacticthat could elevate theHelldivers 2experience 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 2already 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.
Enough Jungles, Helldivers 2 Needs Suburban Warfare in Ruined Cities
But there’s something undeniably satisfying about having a single, dedicated button that lets you unleash a burst of pure, unadulterated patriotism. InDeep Rock Galactic, the “Rock and Stone!” button has become astapleof 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 2players 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.
After A Glorious Comeback, Now Is The Perfect Moment For Helldivers 2 To Introduce Super Earth’s Greatest Threat
InHelldivers 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 inHelldivers 2might 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 ofDeep Rock Galactic‘s energy to the fight for galactic democracy? Let us know in the comments below!
