Arrowhead Game Studios is planning a significant overhaul of the reward system in their action-packed shooter 'Helldivers 2' after acknowledging issues with the distribution of medals following major orders. Announced in the game's Discord server by community manager Twinbeard, the update aims to enhance the reliability and timely delivery of awards to players. Amidst this, a playful discussion on Reddit showcases the community's creative, albeit impractical, strategies against the game's mechanical foes, demonstrating the spirited engagement of 'Helldivers 2's player base. This revision of the rewards is expected to ensure that players feel appropriately recognized for their in-game achievements and valor.

Will the rewards overhaul in 'Helldivers 2' affect players' existing medals?

The overhaul is intended to improve the distribution system for the rewards, but existing medals that players have already earned will remain unaffected.

'Helldivers 2' is the sequel to the popular cooperative twin-stick shooter 'Helldivers,' a game known for its challenging gameplay and satirical take on militaristic sci-fi tropes. Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, the franchise features procedurally generated levels, a wide array of weapons and upgrades, and cross-play across multiple platforms. The series has cultivated a dedicated community that appreciates the depth of strategic gameplay and the game's unique approach to player cooperation and contribution to the war effort against an array of extraterrestrial threats.
