Helldivers 2 Developer Aims to Resolve Discord Gun Disputes

Mar 03, 2025 10:30 AM

Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has made headlines after implementing a new guideline on their official Discord server, aimed at reducing heated debates fueled by datamined weapon stats. The proposal to stop sharing links to datamined content in the "The-Armoury" channel has sparked significant pushback from players who rely on these spreadsheets for gear comparisons. The community manager emphasized the need for a more welcoming environment, as the constant disputes had become alienating. A compromise now allows users to share unofficial stats as long as they clearly label them as such, aiming to maintain informative discussions without misinformation.

What changes has Arrowhead made to the Helldivers 2 Discord about datamined content?

Arrowhead has banned the sharing of links to datamined content in the "The-Armoury" channel to minimize debates and ensure a more welcoming environment. However, users can still post unofficial stats if they label them appropriately.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative top-down shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, set in a satirical science fiction universe where players take on the role of elite soldiers fighting against alien threats. The game emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and constant updates to keep its community engaged in an ever-evolving galactic war. As players rally to tackle challenges, keeping communication respectful and productive becomes crucial to the gaming experience.

It’s cool to see Arrowhead trying to keep the Helldivers 2 Discord chill while still letting players geek out over stats. Labeling unofficial info is a smart move—hopefully it keeps the debates fun without turning into a spreadsheet warzone.

It’s interesting to see Arrowhead trying to strike a balance between fostering a welcoming community and allowing players to engage with datamined stats. Labeling unofficial info seems like a fair middle ground, though it’ll be fascinating to see how the community adapts to the new vibe.
