Progression & Unlocks Overview

Curious about Super Citizen status in Helldivers 2? Learn how to get it, what it offers (and doesn't offer!), and what to do if you don't receive your bonuses.

Hey there, Helldiver! So you've seen some folks rocking that 'Super Citizen' tag next to their name and you're wondering how to get in on that? Totally get it. This guide will break down exactly what you need to do to snag that status for yourself.

What is Super Citizen Status?

Think of Super Citizen Status as a fancy title that shows up next to your name in-game. It doesn't actually give you any in-game advantages or buffs – it's purely cosmetic. So, while it looks cool, it won't make you a better shot or tougher against those alien bugs.

How to Get Super Citizen Status

The only way to officially unlock Super Citizen Status is by purchasing 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, depending on your platform.

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

You're not alone! Some players have reported not receiving their Super Citizen status, or other bonuses like the Steeled Veterans Warbond, even after purchasing the relevant edition. It seems to be a known issue that Arrowhead Game Studios is aware of.

What should I do?

• Keep Playing: Some players have found that the status eventually pops up after playing for a few hours.
• Restart Your Game: A simple restart can sometimes do the trick.
• Be Patient: If the issue persists, it's likely that a fix will be rolled out in a future patch. Keep an eye on official announcements from Arrowhead.

Don't worry too much if it doesn't appear immediately. As long as you've made the purchase, you're entitled to those bonuses, and they'll likely show up eventually or be fixed in an update.
