Helldivers 2 players ask for better UI with in-game info but joke it "would break 50% of the game," director says "that's mean... and also sadly true" but "we are working on an improved system"

Helldivers 2.

Fun though it is, protecting Super Earth in Helldivers 2 often isn't helped by the UI. Less than graceful and not always intuitive, it's been a bugbear within the multiplayer shooter’s community since it came out back in early 2024.

In discussing their hopes for an improved system, players commented that doing so would cause a lot of problems elsewhere within the game's structure. Johan Pilestedt, creative director of Helldivers 2 and CCO of Arrowhead Games Studio, responded to this jab on Reddit, offering agreement and teasing improvements in the pipeline.
