People are even using the new-found ability to freely place stickers on their weapons tospell out racial epithets.

30fps issues need addressing - while PC’s lack of DLSS and FSR 2 is baffling. Helldivers 2is one of the most refreshing - and straightforward - multiplayer games I’ve played in a while. But does all that multiplayer chaos come with strings attached? There’s a typical mix of modern graphical staples, but they are deployed effectively. Volumetric lighting is heavily used, for instance, with shafts of light shooting through rocks and trees....
