Wondering how to get Super Citizen status in Helldivers 2? We break down the requirements and what you get with the Super Citizen Edition.

Alright, 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? Don't worry, it's not some super-secret unlock that requires a legendary quest. It's actually pretty straightforward, though it does involve opening your wallet a bit.

Basically, the Super Citizen status is just a cosmetic title that shows up next to your name in-game. It doesn't give you any special powers or gameplay advantages, but hey, it looks cool! The only way to get it is by either buying the Super Citizen Edition of Helldivers 2 from the PlayStation Store or Steam, or by picking up the Super Citizen Edition - Upgrade pack if you already own the standard version.

If you've bought either of these and haven't seen the status pop up, or if you're missing out on the cosmetic bonuses and the Steeled Veterans Warbond, you're not alone. This has been a bit of a bug for some players, even after playing for a while. The best advice right now is to just keep playing. Some folks have reported it appearing after a few hours and a game restart. If it's still not showing up, don't sweat it too much – Arrowhead Game Studios will likely patch it up in a future update.
