InHelldivers 2, where teamwork is essential for spreading managed democracy across the galaxy, a new breed of players has emerged. These ne’er-do-wells seem to revel in nothing but chaos, turning what should be a thrilling co-op experience into a frustrating nightmare.
Team killing has become a rampant issue, and it’s time to address how these players are ruining the game for everyone.
As players dive into the action-packed missions ofHelldivers 2, they expect camaraderie and support from their fellow Divers. Instead, some players have taken it upon themselves to ruin missions for others, feeding off the annoyance and anger of their teammates. This behavior is not just annoying; it’s a problem as old as online gaming itself, and it’s time we talk about it.
Helldivers 2: A new era of team killing
One Redditor recently voiced their frustrations in a post on theHelldivers 2subreddit, sharing a gameplay video that perfectly encapsulates the issue. The clip shows them landing into a match only to be team-killed right from their very first spawn. They constantly get taken out by their own teammates, only to be called back in as reinforcements—only to meet the same fate again:
Watching this video is infuriating for any democracy-loving diver; it almost feels likeArrowheadhas introduced a new free-for-all PvP mode without telling us! Or maybe those pesky Illuminate have now started taking over the Helldivers’ minds too.

Some players have even suggested more drastic measures:
While this may sound extreme, it’s hard not to sympathize with those who feel betrayed by their own teammates during high-stakes missions.
