"Helldivers 2 Devs Stand Firm: No PvP, Embrace Tarkov Instead"

Johan Pilestedt, the creative director and CEO of Arrowhead studio, has stated that Helldivers 2 will "never" add a PvP mode in order to maintain a supportive and fun community environment, recommending players seeking PvP gameplay to try Escape from Tarkov instead. Pilestedt emphasized that Arrowhead focuses on providing a challenging PvE experience for players and is committed to building Helldivers 2 into a long-lasting and successful game.
