Helldivers 2 is the game every Starship Troopers fan dreamed of when they saw the movie for the first time. While the game takes great inspiration from the cult classic, it does not take into account how some players may not want to play fair. Fortunately, Helldivers 2 has a robust system in place to prevent toxic players from ruining the experience for others.
Helldivers 2: How To Find and Kill Shriekers
Find and kill Shriekers in Helldivers 2 with ease by following this detailed guide.
If you come across a toxic player or two, you will be pleased to know you can report and block them. Unfortunately, many players do not know how to report and block in Helldivers 2. Keeping this in mind, this guide will cover everything there is to know about reporting and blocking players in Helldivers 2, along with other useful information.
Steps for Reporting and Blocking Players in Helldivers 2
You can report players in Helldivers 2 by following these simple steps:
- Return to your ship.
- Access the Social tab.
- Select Recent Players.
- Select the player you wish to report.
Currently, you can only report players who have been toxic or abusive in the in-game chat. However, this could change in a later update. If you want to report a toxic teammate who did not use the in-game chat, your only option is to block them instead.
You can block players in Helldivers 2 by following these simple steps:
- Return to your ship.
- Access the Social tab.
- Select Recent Players.
- Select the player you wish to block.
After blocking a player, they will not be removed from your list of Recent Players, meaning they can’t join your parties or communicate with you in any way. Blocking is an effective way to eliminate dealing with toxic players for good, thus ensuring you have the best gaming experience possible.
It is worth noting, though, that since combat missions can become quite gruesome, even more so at higher difficulties, friendly fire is to be expected. For this reason, you should save the option to block players for those that actually deserve it.
Now that you know how to report and block toxic players in Helldivers 2, make the most of this feature so that you enjoy everything the game has to offer without rage quitting ever again.
