One nice thing about Helldivers 2 is that you can join random sessions with strangers all night and never find a bad egg. Emerge from the cryostasis transportation pod on another diver's ship and you're likely to be greeted with a salute, handshake, or hug emote. That's just how Helldivers roll.
The community's been on its extra-best behavior this week with an uptick of fresh recruits, as Helldivers 2 became the first Sony-published game to come to Xbox. It's been one big welcoming party: Xbox players are sounding off on Reddit to thank the veterans helping them, walking them through confusing missions, and not freaking out when they accidentally blow the whole squad up. I've been playing with my fiancée every night this week, and it's been fun to join Xbox lobbies and show them the ropes (insist on driving the car and then flipping it repeatedly).
