    I’m really keen to try this game out and the fanatical loot box might just be enough to get me over the line.

    The thing holding me back is how there are still lots of multiplayer / server issues. For a predominantly multiplayer game, that seems like a deal breaker until they can fix it.

    • +3

      For what it's worth I've been playing since Day 1 and haven't had a single issue. The game is absolutely fantastic. (I've got about 12hours total playtime now)

    • Been playing with randoms since launch and had only minimal issues.

  • +3

    Already have 41 hours in this game. Yes the multiplayer is 'buggy', but nothing i can't live with.

    If buying, turn crossplay off and it'll be able to find multiplayer games. If left on, you'll constantly have failed attempts to connect to other.

    Looks like a kickass game from the streamers on YouTube
    Don't have mates to play with which seems like the fun part so I'll pass for now I think

    • +5

      Don't have mates to play with

      Username checks out.

    • +4

      I don't play with mates but the solo experience is great, but it's also easy as can be to join another squad or leave your game open to have others join. Also I've found that no one uses mics anyway - and you don't even need to, the UI and the way the game works accommodates really well for no voice communication

      • I've found the teaming up with randos experience quite ordinary (though I'll admit I've not played as much as I might have wanted yet). Usual stuff too. Teamkilling you or their friends laughingly wasting reinforcement tickets, running off in the opposite direction and doing their own thing, etc.

        I had one guy who I accidentally TKed because he Leroy Jenkinsed onto one of my grenades, who then proceeded to TK me like seven times 'for killing him' before I gave up and went to make a sandwich.

        I think it'll be decent once it settles down into the people who actually really love the game, but there's a lot of water to go under that bridge yet.

    Same price at GMG btw. https://gg.deals/game/helldivers-2/

    gg.deals is a great resource for cheap games to those who don’t know

      If you have gold XP membership with GMG, you can claim a 19% off coupon for Helldivers 2 on their XP page via the XP February Bonus Pack.

    • Thank you @NuttyGoodness I used this as fanatical.com is out of keys, grabbed from Greenmangaming for the same price, it's installing now

  • Bought it yesterday spewing i missed this deal. Game is really fun

  • +1

    I got a code for Hero of the Kingdom: The Lost Tales 2 if anyone wants it

  • So much fun! Haven't encountered any bugs at all so far

    • Sounds like you're not spreading enough DEMOCRACY if you haven't encountered any bugs to kill yet.

  • I'm really not clear on what the Super Citizen version gives you. Some bits of gear and.. what? I assume a warbond is in-game currency, but Super Citizen Status isn't explained at all.

    • super citizen is just a title beside your name, and the premium warbond is basically a paid battle pass.

    • +2

      tl;dr you get some cosmetics and can speed up earning equipment, but you can unlock it all just by playing the game so there's nothing you're missing out on.

      It's a little confusing, what they call a warbond is what most games call a battlepass.
      The main differences are that warbonds are your primary method of unlocking new weapons and equipment, and unlike battlepasses they never expire.
      While playing the game you earn medals, which are the currency you use to unlock things in the warbond.
      There's a 'free' warbond which is unlocked for everyone, and (currently) a single premium warbond which you can unlock either by buying the super citizen version or by spending premium currency. To get premium currency you can either pay real money or earn it by playing the game.
      Anecdotally, I earned enough premium currency to buy the premium warbond after about 20 hours of gameplay.

      The key takeaway is that you can earn everything gameplay related (i.e. excluding cosmetics and titles) just by playing the game, spending money only speeds it up (and even then unlocking the premium warbond only allows you to spend medals in it, you still need to play the game to earn those)

    I'm tempted but I cant deal with games that charge you a purchase price then also include free to play micro transactions like battle passes etc =\

    • +1

      The "battle pass" can be purchased with in-game currency.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece! For anyone looking to join the Australian (and NZ) community it's called "Divers Down Under". Here is the discord invite: https://discord.gg/bqhGMZKP

    Anyone else having trouble checking out? I keep getting "We could not reserve an item in your cart - HELLDIVERS™ 2"

    • Seems their key supplier is temporarily out of stock https://support.fanatical.com/hc/en-us/articles/169601374556…

      • Crap, guess we have to wait. Thanks for the link.

      • +1

        I put a support ticket in last Sunday and they told me to wait 24 hours. I guess they are still having supply problems. Ended up going with GMG instead.

        • Just tried again today and it went through

  • Is this game any good for cantankerous middle-aged tw@ts? Asking for an {imaginary} friend…

  • Absolutely fantastic game. They really followed up the first one and knocked this out of the park. Yes there are lil things to iron out still but some of the small glitches are part of the ridiculous fun. Play with a party of 4 and let the chaos ensue!

  • +2

    It's $47.77 AUD @ Green Man Gaming if you are an XP member and have a '4% extra off PC games' voucher you haven't used.

    • Didn't work for me. Said "The voucher code entered appears to be invalid, please copy and paste the code exactly otherwise contact Customer Services for assistance"

      There was another one that gave 19% off though which brought it down to $48.56

      • +1

        I also got that note after trying to stack with the 19%. Add the game to cart @17% off, then copy+paste the 4% off code.
        https://ibb.co/wzBXgVb

        • I tried both 17% and 19% and neither seemed to stack with the 4%. Could it be you're a silver or gold? I'm only bronze.

          Seems ridiculous arguing over 79 cents but this is on my pride as an OzBargainer lol

          Edit: GOT IT! Thanks, mate!

    I'm selling for $45 each on classifieds

    admin please remove this comment if inappropriate.

    • I think the item is back in stock, I just had my purchase go through

      • yep confirmed just bought

        • Did you get your key already? I ordered around 8pm but getting an error saying problem with key please wait.

          • -1

            @stratbargain: They've told me their supplier is out of keys and i can have a refund or wait till next week.
            I'll take the refund

            • +1

              @stratbargain: I ordered around Fri, Feb 16, 9:55 PM(thats what the recipt email says) and I got the key instantly

              • @Whatsabinga: Huh. I got a refund and got an instant key from gmg but sounds like it might have just been a glitch with my order. Glad it worked for others though

  • thanks Dude! confirmed I ordered this morning and got the key instantly as well.

  • Not working again

    • Was just about to buy it as well.

      The Super Citizen version works though.

      • Got it from GMG for the same price instead

        • How? I keep getting invalid code..

          And checking the exclusions, Helldivers 2 is on the list.

          edit. Fanatical started working again. Got it there.

          • @dunnoz: Just needed to log into your GMG account and and it automatically changed the prices for me
