Developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, Helldivers 2 is a shooter video game packed with action and intensity. The game takes you to the world of Super Earth filled with tough aliens that challenge your skills and patience.

You have the option to take on your enemies solo or team up with your friends for better chances of winning. When everyone talks and plans together, you can attack the aliens smarter and defend better. While location markers and quick commands help with communication, activating push-to-talk is the best way to communicate with your squad in Helldivers 2. This handy feature allows you to speak when needed. Luckily, enabling the push-to-talk feature in Helldivers 2 is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through it.

How to Turn On Push to Talk in Helldivers 2

Push-to-talk is a useful feature in Helldivers 2 that allows you to press a button when you want to talk to your teammates. It helps you avoid extra noise, as you can simply press the button and talk only when you need to.

Follow these steps to enable the push-to-talk feature:

  • Open the menu window and head to the “Options” tab
  • Go to the “Audio” option and look for the “Voice Chat” option in the list, second from the bottom.
  • Choose the push-to-talk option by clicking the arrow icon.
  • Activate this option on PC by pressing Tab. PlayStation users can switch to push-to-talk by hitting Triangle. If you're on an Xbox controller, simply press Y to get the job done.

Once you have successfully enabled the push-to-talk feature, it’s important to know how to use it. Even though it's enabled in the settings, you will have to activate the push-to-talk feature by pressing a specific button. On PC, hold Caps Lock to push-to-talk with your teammates. As far as PlayStation 5 or Xbox controller users are concerned, they need to follow a couple of steps to assign a button:

  • Open the menu and navigate to the ‘Options’ tab.
  • Head to the “Controller” tab and click on “Select Bindings.”
  • Next, go to the “Communication” tab.
  • Select “Voice Activation(PTT/PTM)” and assign a button by pressing it.
  • Choose keys on your controller that are not currently in use.

With the updated settings, you can now communicate with your teammates by using your assigned push-to-talk button. You also have other options, like Open Microphone and Push-to-Mute.
