Inhale Dangerous Fumes in Helldivers 2's Chemical Agents Warbond on PS5, PC

God they're really milking these Warbonds. Being honest i deleted the game not long back, haven't played for ages as fed up with the nerfs and the slow slow drip feed of new content that isn't Warbonds.

Well this is good news for the individuals that aren't part of the 93% of all time peak players that have since dropped off and stopped playing this ("live service success"), in a few months post launch. 👍

@DennisReynolds They are introducing a lot of buffs with the warbond and it does seem like they are changing the way their content works with the freedom of escalation. I hope the buffs are good but I would definitely like more updates like Freedom of Escalation.

The gameplay loop is dope but this game really needs something new and fresh right now....

@KundaliniRising333 Peak player counts is a nonsense metric for judging how many people are still actively playing. The game is still in the top 10 on Steam in NA for monthly active users and weekly active users every single month.

That means millions of people still play the game every month, they’re just not playing 10 hours a day constantly and not all overlapping.

@KundaliniRising333 it still has a massive player base. Granted it has dropped off but its still one of the most populated online games at the moment.

Also I love how these helldivers 2 articles always state "on the pc and ps5" because xbox owners really need it rubbing in their noses a bit more 🤣

@Northern_munkey what about nintendo owners?

@KundaliniRising333 it still has a sizable playerbase , while most single player games would have been “one and done’d” by now & never played again , just only talked about here and there

@ChrisDeku really? Can you point me to the data that backs Up: "The game is still in the top 10 on Steam in NA for monthly active users and weekly active users every single month."

@KundaliniRising333 Yea, it’s published every month by Circana(which used to be NPD) and is widely reported on every website like here and VGchartz, game industry.biz etc.

@nomither6 who?

This thread posts the whole data for July.

In July Helldivers 2 is the 5th most played steam. In June it was 3rd. August data will be available soon, that was the month of the first major title update

@ChrisDeku thanks. Was having trouble finding it. As there isn't a dedicated page anywhere for those stats and the articles that contain it are often arbitrarily Titled something based on one random stat. Made it much more. Difficult. To find monthly Circana data, as I guess it's dependant on leaks?

@Northern_munkey nevermind , hahaha 😂

Great more pay to win which should already be in the base game, two warbonds base and then having the rest of the game behind a paywall or insane grind is criminal.

I love how the fanboys totally lied through their teeth about this game too "you can unlock everything for free" leaving out the part where it would take literal years for a normal person to do so unless you no pife the game because I'm rank 50-60 played a lot of matches in the span of two weeks a few weeks ago and i only made out with 100 supercreds.

@Deityjester you can unlock everything for free if you are willing to grind out the credits in game. Pay to win? This isn't a pvp game so how is it pay to win?

@Deityjester What exactly is the paywall?

Buff patch has landed today as well most weapons are now powered like they should be, Napalm Barrage is so awesome just the 4 kin cooldown is a bit higher than expected more than the Railcannon strike which should have had a nerf a little

@Deityjester No it isn't you can warn the credits in game via a gring they just lowered the amount you can get a lot that's all. I've never bought any credits with real money at all I've got them all from just playing
