It took GantztheDemon 10 days to be able to play Helldivers 2 again. On Feb. 21, TikTok user AJGaming shared a video featuring Gantz killing them. The sequence went viral overnight, garnering 4.8 million views as of this writing. A subsection of the Helldivers 2 community, hung up on the politically charged satire theme of the online shooter, labeled the player as a “traitor” and began inciting others to shoot on sight. Alongside dozens of TikToks campaigning for a witch hunt, Gantz’s PlayStation account was temporarily banned after receiving hundreds of reports.

    I’ve got 20 hours in and the only issue i have run into is getting kicked when joining a game.

    It’s good fun and i play by myself. I imagine if i had friends who played it would be an absolute riot

      Assuming you’re in Australia from the instance, so time zones might suck but I’m always down to play HD2 with others.
