Helldivers 2 Multiplayer Online Game

Before we discuss the possibility of Helldivers 2 being played single player, it would be a good idea to discuss the overall gameplay first. Yep, this game has undergone many changes from its predecessor title.

Yep, this franchise initially carried the top-down RPG game genre like Diablo titles, you know Vicigers! However, looking at current industry trends, Arrowhead as the developer dares to "gambling" and change the genre!

Not only that, different from most shooter games, Helldivers 2 also features a matchmaking-based mission gameplay system. This is a sign that every mission has an objective that needs to be carried out collectively.

The available missions are played in multiplayer, and can be initiated by up to four people. And make no mistake, each mission has a different level of difficulty.

The higher the difficulty level of the mission, the more demanding the micro and macro capacities of each player will be. So, don't make the mistake of choosing difficulties if the gameplay you want isn't too challenging!

The main selling point of this game is the presence of 'liberation' and defensive aspects: a unique feature that records the game results of all players collectively.

As a result, the more players who successfully complete missions on that planet, the more/decreased the liberation/defensive meter bar will be. From there you can of course see the multiplayer emphasis.

So it's not surprising that most of the current Helldivers 2 players (coming from the platform Playstation 5 and PC) want this game to appear on other platforms, such as Xbox for example. That way, increasing/lowering the liberation/defensive meter of each planet will also be easier!

Can Helldivers 2 be played single player?

Now let's get to the main discussion, namely the topic of single player in the game Helldivers 2. So, is it possible?

If the single player in question is a separate mode (dedicated mode), Vicigers seems to have to "bite the bullet". Yep, Helldivers 2 doesn't have that mode feature.

All missions can only be done through 'Galactic War' in (online) multiplayer. There, all console and PC players will meet to promote 'democracy'.

But that doesn't mean you can't play it! Quoted from the page gamesradar+, there are several ways you can try to replicate single player mode.

What you need to remember is that because this replication effort is only an alternative (not intended as such), the gameplay you play will be much more difficult.

This is because this mode is intended for playing multiplayer, while you play it solo. Here's how:

• Make sure you are alone in the Destroyer, so that no one joins the mission.
• Open the Matchmaking Privacy menu option, and make sure you change it to 'friends only'. That way, the system will not match you with global players (even though the SOS beacon is active).
• If so, select operation on the planet map as usual. Don't choose the quickplay or SOS beacon mission, then you will definitely enter the mission solo.
