Helldivers 2 Shuns PVP to Avoid Toxicity, Focuses on Player Camaraderie
- Arrowhead's CEO says Helldivers 2 will never get PvP to avoid encouraging toxic behavior in the multiplayer community
- They want to create a "supportive, fun" environment where players "are fighting on the same side"
- Arrowhead isn't scared of competing with other PvP games, they just don't want the toxicity PvP can bring
- The game has friendly fire which can lead to accidental hilarious player deaths, designed to amuse not enrage
- The developer hopes the premise of banding together to survive will lead to an enduring, happy community culture
