Helldivers is not an extraction shooter. Extraction only exists to feel cool.

Extraction only exists for spectacle.

This isn't an extraction shooter.

Extraction becomes totally optional as every resource it provides is something you will potentially no longer need.

There is no permenance to failing to extract, you still gain resources if you fail to extract unlike in actual extraction-based games, unless your team is astonishingly incompetent.

I think the people calling this an extraction shooter are just coping because they're too bad to play an actual extraction shooter and deal with permenant consequences to their gameplay.

Extraction shooters are a genre where the great majority of your gear/currency is looted from maps and can be lost permenantly upon death, be it pve, or pvp, or both. If you fail to leave the map with it, you don't get to keep anything and you lose everything brought with you too.

Rainbow 6, since that needs you to leave to get rewards I would assume.

A better comparison would be Tarkov/Hunt Showdown. If you want something singleplayer focused, Zero Sievert and Quasimorph are good.

This is true for a lot of games. Its called failing the mission. Gen z and their need to label everything to death lol.

Your right, we should just start calling everything "thing" down to it's very subatomic quark-matter state because it would be less confusing.
