"Helldivers 2 Dev Prioritizes Community Well-being Over PvP in Latest Release"

Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt stated that Helldivers 2 will "never" add a PvP mode to reduce toxic elements from the community, emphasizing a supportive and fun environment for players. The co-op third-person shooter, known for its friendly fire mechanics, has established an unspoken co-op etiquette, but occasional griefing incidents occur. Pilestedt recommended Escape from Tarkov for those seeking a PvP experience, while highlighting Helldivers 2's successful sales and ongoing popularity despite matchmaking issues.
