HELLDIVERS 2 Standard Edition

HELLDIVERS 2 turns the top-down original into a third-person shooter and keeps the joke intact: you are an expendable soldier of Super Earth, spreading managed democracy across the galaxy by killing bugs and robots, and the propaganda around you never once acknowledges the casualty rate.

Missions drop four players onto procedurally arranged maps with objectives, a timer and an extraction. The gear comes from Stratagems, called down by typing directional codes under fire — orbital strikes, turrets, resupplies and mechs — and friendly fire is always on, which is where most of the stories come from. A persistent Galactic War tracks what every player is doing and shifts the front line week to week. Playable solo, but not built for it.

The Standard Edition is the full game: every mission type, the whole Stratagem arsenal, the persistent Galactic War, all free content updates and warbonds earned through play, and four-player online co-op with crossplay. Nothing about the ongoing war content sits behind a higher tier.
