[QUOTE="Admin, post: 62203, member: 1"] Are you playing [URL='https://www.ign.com/games/helldivers-ii']Helldivers 2[/URL] and wondering if the developers will ever add a player versus player mode? Don’t hold your breath — the boss of developer Arrowhead Game Studios has said it’s never going to happen. [URL='https://twitter.com/Pilestedt/status/1757804756666339420']Responding to a user on Twitter/X[/URL], Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt said the developer will “never” add PvP to Helldivers 2 in order to reduce “toxic elements” from the community. “Hey; We'll ‘never’ add a PvP-mode,” Pilestedt said. “This is to reduce toxic elements from the community. “We want an environment that's supportive, fun and where we all are fighting on the same side!” Helldivers 2 is a co-op third-person shooter in which players squad up to take on alien bugs and automatons across big maps packed with over-the-top action, explosions, and a generous number of epic moments.
