Developers Address Unfair Kicks in Helldivers 2 Missions

Recently, players of Helldivers 2 have been facing a frustrating issue where they are unfairly booted from missions. This can happen during extraction, which is crucial for completing the mission successfully. Some players have even reported being kicked during the extraction cutscene, leaving them stranded and unable to complete the mission alongside their team.

Arrowhead Game Studios, the developers behind Helldivers 2, have acknowledged this problem and are working on a fix to address it. Community manager Twinbeard shared on the Helldivers 2 Discord channel that a “solution” is in the works to deal with situations where unfair kicks occur. This response comes after a player suggested keeping a percentage of the samples collected if they are kicked by a malicious lobby leader.

While the specifics of the solution are not yet known, the community has been brainstorming various ideas. One suggestion involves taking inspiration from another co-op shooter, Deep Rock Galactic, where kicked players receive a portion of the XP and resources they collected. Another proposed solution is the implementation of a reputation system, where players can rate each other at the end of missions. This system would pair well-behaved players with similar individuals, while grouping trolls and griefers together.

The Helldivers 2 community has been actively engaged in discussing and providing feedback on how to tackle the issue of unfair kicks in missions. By sharing their ideas and concerns, players are contributing to the development of a system that will hopefully prevent future instances of griefing and trolling.

The developers at Arrowhead Game Studios are aware of the problem of unfair kicks in Helldivers 2 missions and are actively working on a solution. The community’s input and suggestions play a vital role in shaping how this issue will be addressed in the game. By fostering open communication and collaboration between developers and players, Helldivers 2 can continue to provide an enjoyable multiplayer experience for all participants.
