Helldivers 2 developers are giving away free shields to combat DSS friendly fire

Key Takeaways

  • The democracy space station is being bombarded constantly, killing friendly squads.

  • Arrowhead offered a temporary solution, more lives and more shields.

  • Democracy is alive.

Helldivers 2's Democracy Space Station (DSS), a triumph of super-Earth engineering that required several key orders to be fulfilled to accelerate its construction, was not well-received among players. The DSS was created to provide air support to Helldivers fighting beneath the planets they are stationed on. The DSS is clearly raining destruction down on the planet's surface, but the problem is… it's just too effective.

Unfortunately, the hellfire fired from the DSS is destroying extremities, automata, and helldivers alike. In this case, the power of democracy is not to distinguish between allies and enemies. Players were dissatisfied with the performance of DSS and felt it was more of a hindrance than a help. There were also reports that entire teams were wiped out due to DSS' merciless orbital bombardment. In retrospect, constant bombardment was never going to be the safest support option, considering how often helldivers blow each other up.

Arrowhead Studios has heard the pleas of players and is offering temporary bonuses to players to alleviate some of the downsides of DSS. The developer's post reads, “Temporary DSS Augmentation. High Command has approved an augmentation to the Helldiver loadout while Planetary Bombardment Tactical Action is active to improve unexpected spikes in Heroic Sacrifice. This is a temporary change, but full evaluation The optimal number of sacrifices is as follows: See the DSS interface on the galaxy map for details.

Effectively, this enhancement increases your health by +1 per squad member, and all loadouts now include the FX-12 Shield Generator Relay stratagem. If your new “Weapon of Mass Liberation” accidentally rains devastating bombs on you, at least you'll be able to take cover under a shield, and at worst, a new Helldiver will be waiting to replace you. . .

DSS is an exciting addition to Helldivers 2, and having the community vote on where DSS should be placed is a great way to increase player involvement in the galactic war. Sure, it's currently destroying squads around the galaxy, but who knows how useful DSS could be with a few tweaks?
