Headless Helldivers 2 Player: A Testament to Super Earth’s Tenacity

Headless Helldivers 2 Player: A Testament to Super Earth’s Tenacity

Praise be the Headless Helldivers! Things are looking up. Well, not for this guy. The fight for Super Earth stops when you’re dead, but not for this Helldivers 2 player. After weeks of a bug left their soldier in a headless state, one player has become the Headless Horseman of the sci-fi game, fighting across the universe with 8% of their body left behind.

Legends of the Headless Hero

For the past two weeks, one Helldivers 2 player has wandered planets filled with Tyrannid scum and Automaton heretics without their head. After a recent update made their helmet disappear, the player has battled across the universe with only a stump atop their shoulders. With the Helldivers 2 Chemical Warbond update now available, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has yet to fix the bug. Whether they’re using the best strategems and weapons or farming super credits, the equipped helmet doesn’t appear.

• Headless Helldivers have become legends.
• Community praise for the headless warrior.
• Players share tales of dedication to Super Earth.

Player's Perspective

The headless Helldivers 2 player even explained their condition in-universe suggesting that there are rumors of headless Automatons infiltrating Super Earth vessels. “My character has been headless for 2 weeks. I'll never change my helmet again, as I have become a legend,” the player stated.

“Fellow ordinary humans! Do not fall prey to misinformation about headless Automaton agents infiltrating loyal Super-Earth forces. Headlessness is a completely normal thing that could happen to anyone – especially everyday people! There is no need to report this to the Democracy officer,” they added, highlighting the unique situation.

Rising Player Numbers

Things are looking up. Well, not for this guy. Following the most recent Helldivers 2 patch, player numbers have skyrocketed. With so many buffs even Arrowhead forgot to list them all, the game has returned to the bombastic, cinematic showcase it was on launch. New difficulty modes are being considered for those who enjoyed the game’s more punishing state, while more players are enjoying Arrowhead’s awesome multiplayer game right now.
