A Helldivers 2 fan showed off their new tattoo celebrating the game, revealing just how dedicated they truly are to Arrowhead Game Studios' record-shattering title. This tattoo is a recreation of a popular Stratagem in the game, one of the many tools Helldivers 2 players have at their disposal during missions.

No one could have predicted just how big Helldivers 2 would be during and following its initial release earlier this year. Developer Arrowhead released Helldivers 2 in February, launching off the success of its original Helldivers title from 2015. The original Helldivers offered sci-fi fans a colorful, top-down arena to fight all kinds of enemies in, equipping them with the tools needed to take on some of the universe's most terrifying foes. While Helldivers 2 continues this carnage, it transforms the experience into a thrilling, third-person shooter. Helldivers 2 was met with exceptional critical and commercial success upon release, quickly spawning a massive and dedicated fanbase.

This dedication carries over into a variety of different hubs and interests, with Helldivers 2 fans creating jaw-dropping cosplay pieces and fan art. However, Reddit user SignificantWeb9 may be one of the most dedicated members of the fandom, showing off their new Stratagem tattoo to the Helldivers 2 community. The tattoo represents the Eagle 500KG Bomb, one of many offensive aerial Stratagems players can call in during battle. Stratagems are a crucial part of the Helldivers 2 experience, acting as a way for players to quickly turn the tide of a match. A limited number of Stratagems can be used on each mission and require specific, combo-like inputs to pull off.
