Key Takeaways
- Helldivers 2 fans want to see the Deep Space Station to be visible during fights for a more immersive experience.
- Failing that, some even suggest that it could be visible while on the Super Destroyer, or during loading screens while dropping onto planets.
- While we don’t know if this is possible, it would definitely be nice to see the space station that is blowing off our limbs.
Helldivers 2 players have been through it this past week. After complaining that the Galactic War was going nowhere, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead finally delivered a giant Deep Space Station that we’d been building for months, only for that exact same station to start bombing the daylights out of players, in what can only be described as a catastrophic own-goal.
Arrowhead very quickly gave everyone shields as a temporary solution, and promised that the DSS would be “tweaked and evolved” in the future, and now the general sentiment towards the giant floating death machine is that it’s a very practical weapon in the fight for managed democracy. However, it seems as though quite a lot of players wish that the station was more of a spectacle.
Helldivers 2 Fans Want The DSS To Be Visible During Fights
In a very popular post on the Helldivers 2 subreddit, user Meta_Night22 calls on Arrowhead to make it so that players are able to see the DSS “warp in, fill up the sky, rain hell down on the enemies, then warp out to the next mission” while fighting, sharing a picture of the Death Star overlooking Scarif in Star Wars: Rogue One as a reference.

Players are just going in circles waiting for something worthwhile to happen.
Another user then suggests that the game could even give players a warning for when it’s about to warp in, so everyone can turn their attention skyward to see this massive weapon arrive to help fight. We can already see different planets while on the surface of others. so it would be pretty dang cool to see a giant ominous space station in orbit. One user even suggested that it could blare the Super Earth anthem, though that would have to be eardum-destroyingly loud for everyone to hear it.
Failing that, another user called JHawkInc would just like it to be visible while on board Super Destroyers, so that you can actually tell whether DSS support is around, or to just give the game some flavour. Another suggestion is that it could be visible during the loading screen while dropping onto planets. In any case, it seems as though Helldivers want to see the fruits of their work affecting the battlefield outside random explosions, even if it isn;t firing in the right direction most of the time.
