Talk:Helldivers Wiki

The War mechanic needs to be altered so that all home-worlds are much easier to conquer. Otherwise players, like right now, will spend weeks only playing against the illuminate home-world; progress resetting every 48 hours. Shorter wars are better, especially for newer players. The mechanic as it exist and low player population is creating a toxic entry experience. Get the game designer to accept this, and you can increase sales and player numbers.

People are stuck at home right now and will be until June. Get more out of this asset.

CSS causing stutter + lag

I am new to wiki.gg; apologies if this is the wrong thread to bring up this issue.

There are two lines in the helldivers theme (the default theme), that are causing considerable amounts of stutter and lag (tested on chrome & Firefox, likely affects more.)

backdrop-filter: blur(10px); in classes .mw-footer and .mw-body. This is a very resource intensive function, instead we could perhaps used an already-blurred background, or forgo the effect altogether (or perhaps make helldivers not the default theme.)

It creates a barrier for new people that are looking to join or use the wiki, as this is the default theme.

I'm not sure how to edit the CSS, or if I am even able to, though I would appreciate it if this is fixed

Non-roleplay lore adding

When i come to a wiki like this, I just want to understand the actual lore of the game. I don't want to have to deal with all the annoying roleplayers who change the lore and fake it so they can "prove their devotion to Super Earth". I want to know the actual and non biased lore of the game so I can understand stuff like why are the illuminate are invading, or where did the automatons come from. Yaegerheim (talk) 13:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

That’s actually what our goal is for the wiki. We strive to get as much direct, neutral lore written for our pages. Or as neutral as the games allow since they presents literally everything from Super Earth's pov.

Unfortunately, Helldivers 2 has a very vast scope, which combined with the semi-randomized delivery of dialog lines and lore pickups makes auditing lore a bit challenging. If you see something on our pages that looks like someone was roleplaying, please feel free to edit it out or mention it on the pages talk page, and we'll take a look.

Thank you for relpying. Yaegerheim (talk) 13:48, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

Idea: A Theory Page

This comes from the fact that when i look and the newer warbonds, i think there is a connection with how the war is progressing. Just an idea. Yaegerheim (talk) 21:56, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

I could certainly see this as an interesting idea! We would not be able to have it in the main namespace however, as we make it a standard that anything in there is 100% verifiable. That being said, you could certainly use your user namespace for it! This way it could still be found on the wiki for anyone interested, and it would not be within our locked down namespace where all of the extra content rules apply.

In order to use the user namespace, all you need to do is create a page and name it in the following format: User:Yaegerheim/PAGE_NAME_HERE.

If you need any help with this process please let me know! Betta7776 (talk) 02:11, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Allow more people to edit this page

While I understand preventing vandalism, the homepage is often outdated and behind on major orders because only a select few can edit it. Please give more trusted users edit permission RapiIsMyWife (talk) 00:42, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

The latest major order isn’t edited on this page, it’s inside the {{Active Major Order}} template. TauCetiV (talk) 14:30, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

Sources for weapon and enemy stats

I can't find the sources of information on where the numbers for the weapon and enemy stats come from (besides patch notes). I could go and spend the hours necessary to extract the data from the game, but presumably there is a source already? Where is it?, and could a refernce to it be added somewhere? Murk (talk) 10:08, 24 October 2025 (UTC)

Stats available at the helldivers.io website. Murk (talk) 18:56, 27 October 2025 (UTC)

I think some people also datamine a lot of helldivers 1 and 2. EthanTheGreat (talk) 19:33, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

All stats are datamined. Primus Deus (talk) 20:33, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Data mining is also not supposed to happen and might be illegal (I'm not sure) so that is why Eravin's video about the leaked warbond was taken down because that content was leaked from datamining. EthanTheGreat (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

For the Helldivers wiki, datamined stats are allowed. It’s how we fill out weapon and enemy stats.

However, anything unreleased is entirely off-limits. Spiders Mod (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Yeah laws differ. Though really the data is public once is released, so I doubt there is a big problem with things in the public. It's just nice to know where it came from, so I/we can see it check its correct, and or report bugs etc, that is why I was interested. I am not interested in "unreleased content" as it were. Murk (talk) 20:30, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

I would like to put together a team of people to write a section about strategies, loadouts, and farming tactics.

I find that there is a lot of Solid info here, but not a lot on things to get better at the game Crimson Haze (talk) 15:49, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

I might join EthanTheGreat (talk) 20:59, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

cool, so how exactly to we make an entirely new catagory Crimson Haze (talk) 16:35, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

We could put it into one main page that is under the Game Mechanics category that goes to several pages that are different strategies. For example, we can put a page for super credit farming. Then we put it into one main page. EthanTheGreat (talk) 17:01, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

I've created the main page for it Advanced Gameplay Techniques. Should prob have a general section for all factions and then tips specific for all factions Sumace (talk) 23:40, 4 December 2025 (UTC)

holy cow nice job Crimson Haze (talk) 16:42, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I added some extra stuff Crimson Haze (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2025 (UTC)

I can help with that (my editor name is the same as in the discord) Sumace (talk) 23:39, 3 December 2025 (UTC)

Hey Crimson! If you are able to join our discord server it would help communication a ton. We can get everything set up and get you guys moving! https://discord.gg/NHjpnddR9y Betta7776 (talk) 16:40, 4 December 2025 (UTC)
