Until recently, the entire playerbase was divided into bugdivers and botdivers, occasionally some players called themselves MOdivers. Overall, the division was clean and simple, based on the player’s enemy preference. Now, some Helldivers 2 rebels are identifying as a whole new faction, the Chaosdivers.
Who Are the Chaosdivers Rebels?
You are probably aware of all the recent drama surrounding the update and the Warbond, In all that chaos, the bots used the opportunity and made huge progress toward Super Earth. They are only one Sector away, and, at the time of writing this article, valiant Helldivers are trying to subdue them and free Curia.
Well, at first, a small faction of Helldivers refused to join their fellow soldiers and stop the Automaton forces. This movement snowballed and the rebels formed a new Helldivers 2 faction, the Chaosdivers. Now, since this isn’t an official faction, but a community-made one, it’s important to note that isn’t particularly well-defined.
As you might have expected, some hardcore Helldivers didn’t react well to the rebel faction. YouSuckAtGameLOL noted: “Rebel Helldivers? Traitors. That is all they are”. We can see why some players would be annoyed by the unofficial new faction, especially as the community is already annoyed by all the recent changes.
Rommy9248 stated: “They are players who actively sabotage missions. They feel like they are some edgy cool guys. But in reality, they are like your 6-year-old little brother throwing a tantrum deciding to ruin the game if he doesn’t like it”.
Does the New Faction belong in Helldivers 2?
Aside from the extremist Helldivers, it seems that the majority of Helldivers 2 players are glad to see a new faction of rebels. The community respects the players who decide to take matters into their own hands and steer the storyline in another direction.
JuicySpaceFox said: “They are spending time on something they enjoy, that’s why they are here. They are trying to steer the game away from a path they think is wrong. If that doesn’t scream care for a game for you then idk what u would consider it. Blind faith in the devs isn’t it either”.
Another player, mogura_writes, offered a great take. They noted: “I do like that the melodrama is going down that route tbh. It’s completely on brand for Helldivers 2 that a splinter faction would emerge due to dissatisfaction from the ruling class”.
Other players, like GoofieNewf, already have plans for the future. This player suggested: “I don’t think they should be a whole faction that starts taking over planets. But, maybe, on certain planets, there could be some traitor resistance. I feel like fighting traitors with the same weapons would be cool every so often”.
Honestly, we love it when the player base takes initiative, as it shows the true dedication that they have for the game. Hopefully, the developers will recognize that dedication and add some rebel missions to future updates. Until it’s official, you’ll definitely find us on Curia, with our trusty Commando. For Super Earth.
