No PVP?

[Gee]

PVE shooters don't last long...

Imagine multiple helldivers/teams fighting each other for bases/objectives using strategems against each other.

Lorewise you could even make them a helldiver faction gone rogue.

yes just turn it into another pvp extraction shooter thats what everyone wants

[The Questing Truck]

Helldivers 1 and deep rock galactic say you are wrong.

Edit: and probably alot of other games.

*ahem*

Warframe
DRG
PayDay 2
Single player games that people still love decades later.

PvP already exists in this game -- just hop on a random match and start shooting your own team. :')

[Dawnminatrix]

The devs have specifically stated there will NEVER be pvp in helldivers 2 because they dont want the toxicity.

Its not like the PVP would replace the PVE modes in this game. It would just supplement it alongside the current version of the game. Why is that a bad thing?

you just listed three lame ass games

[Kuree]

Warframe is a PvE shooter and it's been out for a decade. I'm sure this game will do just fine as long as they keep the content updates flowing and add more depth to the game.

I recommend battlefield for you

true they did, which makes me sad that dev's clearly capable of making an amazing game are afraid of mean words on the internet and are willing to sacrifice something(a small, optional pvp mode) that would guarantee a longer life span for the game.

[Canis.Lupus.Arctos]

NOPE, nobody wants it, nobody needs it... just play PvE or find yourself something else to play, plenty of PvP games out there buddy, just pick one...

[Sylix]

Just no.

[McDinglefart]

No. Get your PvP out if here.

It would take time away from PvE development. Go play your crappy rust instead. How are you going to balance guns, strats around it so people stop abusing one or two same op pvp build?
You think it's going to be fun playing pvp with 4 deployed artilery turrets ragdolling you all over the map?
It would affect whole game balance and hurt pve development. Get the foo out if here with your stinky toxic pvp.

Two of the top 5 selling games are Helldivers 2 and the upgrade, I think everyone except you is having a lot of fun and pvp being added WILL impact the rest of the game. Devs already said theyre hiring for the continued development so do you want them to hire even more devs to work on pvp? Which will either end up with pve suffering as a result of senior devs being moved or pvp being dead on arrival due to it being shoved in after launch by junior devs?

I understand wanting pvp etc but the game is a pve experience and the devs have hardline said no to pvp so stop asking.
