How co-op works
Four-player online squads choose complementary loadouts and complete planetary objectives while calling weapons, turrets, supplies, and airstrikes through Stratagems. Friendly fire is always active, so positioning and communication are essential whenever the team deploys its heaviest support.

The combat is fast and unforgiving. You'll call in airstrikes, resupply drops, and heavy weapons while dodging friendly fire and swarms of enemies. Communication is essential because one wrong step or poorly timed stratagem can wipe the squad. The frantic pace and over-the-top explosions make every mission feel like a desperate last stand.
HELLDIVERS 2 supports online co-op only, so you'll need an internet connection and a crew ready to coordinate. The game thrives on voice chat and quick thinking, creating intense sessions where success depends on how well your team works under pressure.
