Learn how to get the Super Citizen status in Helldivers 2. We explain the requirements and what to do if you don't receive your bonuses.

Hey there, Helldiver! So you've seen some folks running around with that fancy 'Super Citizen' title next to their name and you're wondering how to snag that for yourself, right? It's not some secret unlockable you get from a tough mission, but it does involve opening your wallet a bit. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward!

What's Super Citizen Status?

Basically, Super Citizen Status is just a cosmetic title that shows up next to your name. It doesn't give you any in-game advantages or make you a stronger soldier, but hey, it looks cool! The only way to get it is by picking up either the Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2 or the Super Citizen Edition - Upgrade pack. You can grab these from the PlayStation Store or Steam.

What if I bought it and didn't get the bonuses?

You're not alone if you've bought the Super Citizen Edition or the upgrade pack and haven't seen the status, the Steeled Veterans Warbond, or any other cosmetic bonuses pop up. This has been a known issue for some players, even after playing for a while. The best advice right now is to just keep playing the game and maybe restart it every now and then. Some players have reported that the bonuses eventually showed up after a few hours. If it persists, don't sweat it too much – the devs at Arrowhead Game Studios are aware of these kinds of issues and will likely patch them up in an update soon.

Quick Tips for New Helldivers
  • Pinging is Key: Don't forget to use your ping system! On PC, press Q to ping what you're looking at. On PS5, it's R1 + D-Pad Up. This is super helpful for letting your squad know what's important, especially if you're not using voice chat.
  • Marking the Map: Want to point out a specific spot on the minimap? On PC, open the map with Tab, hold the right mouse button, move your mouse to the desired spot, and click the left mouse button. On PS5, open the minimap with the Touchpad, use the joystick to navigate, and press X to place a marker.
  • Don't Give Up: If your Super Citizen bonuses don't show up immediately, be patient. Keep playing and check back. It usually resolves itself or gets fixed in an update.
