In Helldivers 2's clearest 'are we the baddies' moment yet, players can remove safety systems protecting the community's favorite character just to buff Stratagems

It might not be very democratic to say it, but it's always been pretty obvious that Helldivers 2's prosperous planet of Super Earth might not be the kindest place in the universe.

While the question of whether or not we're actually the bad guys has already come up plenty of times before within the fanbase, patriotic Helldivers are usually pretty quick to shut it down.
