Helldivers 2
About Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 is Arrowhead Game Studios' third-person cooperative shooter. Squads of 2-4 players fight for Super Earth's managed democracy against alien Terminid bugs and robotic Automatons. It's known for its dark, propaganda-satire presentation, chaotic squad gameplay where friendly fire deals real damage, and its strategic orbital/air-support calling system (Stratagems), making it both tense and genuinely funny. Its simultaneous 2024 PS5 and PC launch was one of PlayStation's first major same-day cross-platform releases.

How can I get more FPS in Helldivers 2?
In large open-world and story-driven games, the biggest gains usually come from lowering draw distance, volumetric effects, shadows and ray tracing, while keeping texture quality as high as your VRAM allows. Helldivers 2 recommends 16 GB of RAM, so check your memory before changing any other setting. Keep your graphics card drivers up to date, lower a few graphics settings (shadows, reflections, draw distance), close unnecessary background apps, and try disabling V-Sync.
