One of the best parts of theHelldivers 2community is the way that the developers are always listening to the requests of the community. This means that players can sometimes request a feature to be looked at for a future update, but sadly, that doesn’t mean it is guaranteed to make its way.

However, for the creative side of theHelldivers 2community, there is some potential good news, according to Johan Pilestedt, there is the possibility that competitions may be a feature that could come into the community, which will allow players to design their own items to put into the game, but sadly, this could take some time and has a few issues ahead of it.
Community Competitions Could One Day Make Their Way to Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2is famous for beingdirected by its community,whether it be by their choice of planets to defend/liberate or by their choice of weapons; there will always be some form of choice for gamers to choose from that could ultimately change how the game can be played.
Oh yes! That’s a great idea!Some legal hurdles to go through, but we should really do it.

During a recent post from Johan Pilestedt on Twitter/X teasing a new cape that was created by a fan to bring light to the recent PSN linking situation, a user commented, asking whether or not more opportunities like this will arise to give the community a chance to compete and bring more creations into the game.

In response to this request, Johan Pilestedt responded by saying, “Oh yes! That’s a great idea! Some legal hurdles to go through, but we should really do it.” which is a good sign that it is at least being thought about, but sad news that it could take some time before it finally makes its appearance.
This wouldn’t be the first time that a company has put out a competition to bring in new ideas and content for its game. Games likeMonster Hunter, Warframe, Disney Dreamlight Valley,and more constantly release competitions that bring the community together to decide on new features that could eventually come to the game, and with theHelldivers 2community, it is likely this will be an amazing decision.

Plenty of Interesting Creations Could Come From the Helldivers 2 Community if These Competitions Went Ahead
Since this is only an idea and hasn’t been discussed properly, we do not know in what form these competitions will take, whether they will only be based on customization features like armor or capes, weapon designs, or even stratagems.

Understandably, stratagems will likely be a harder situation to put into a competition as only a select few gamers will be able to design and, as a bonus, animate the stratagem. But if it follows the root ofWarframe,in which it takes concept art, effect lists, and other information, it could potentially be a unique system.
However, the simpler decision would be to have a competition related to the customization and weapon aspects of the game, allowing players to design different armor types with different colors, different traits, and even special perks.
