Curious about Super Citizen Status in Helldivers 2? Learn how to get this title and what it entails, plus troubleshooting tips if you haven't received your bonuses.
Hey there, Helldiver! So you've seen some folks running around with that fancy 'Super Citizen' tag next to their name and you're wondering how to snag that for yourself, right? Don't worry, it's not some super-secret mission or a crazy high-level unlock. It's actually pretty straightforward, though it does involve opening your wallet a bit.
How to Get Super Citizen Status:
Alright, so here's the deal: Super Citizen Status is basically a badge of honor that shows up next to your username. It doesn't make your guns shoot straighter or give you an extra life. The only way to earn it is by buying one of two things:
- The full Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2.
- The Super Citizen Edition - Upgrade pack if you already own the standard edition.
You can grab these from the PlayStation Store or Steam. Think of it as a little bonus for showing extra support for Super Earth!
What if I bought it and didn't get the status?
Sometimes, especially after a big update or launch, things can get a little wonky. A bunch of players have reported not getting their Super Citizen status, or the other bonuses like the Steeled Veterans Warbond, right away. It's super frustrating, I know! The good news is, you're not alone, and it seems to be a common issue.
- Keep Playing: Some people have found that the status eventually pops up after playing for a few hours. Just keep diving and doing your part for managed democracy!
- Restart Your Game: A simple restart can sometimes fix things. Try closing Helldivers 2 completely and launching it again.
- Wait for a Fix: If it's a widespread problem, the devs at Arrowhead Game Studios will likely patch it up in an upcoming update. Keep an eye out for those!
Even if you don't see the status immediately, as long as you've purchased the correct edition or upgrade, you're entitled to those bonuses. They'll likely show up eventually.
- Use the Minimap: Seriously, this is a lifesaver, especially when playing with randoms. Learn to ping objectives or enemy locations.
- PC Pinging: Look where you want to ping and press Q. It'll show up for about 6 seconds.
- PC Marking: Open the map with Tab, hold right-click, move your mouse to the desired spot, and left-click to place a marker. This marker stays until you place a new one.
- PS5 Pinging: Press R1 + D-Pad Up.
- PS5 Marking: Open the minimap with the Touchpad, use the joystick to find your spot, and press the Cross button to mark it.
- Friendly Fire is On! Be mindful of your squadmates. A stray shot can ruin someone's day (or mission).
Good luck out there, Helldiver! For Super Earth!
