Cooperative Shooter
Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 is controlled chaos in the best possible way. Third-person cooperative shooter where friendly fire is always on and the difficulty is genuinely punishing. It's hilarious and tactical at the same time.
Mad Bomber's Take
Honest Opinion
Helldivers 2 is what happens when game developers actually respect their players. The difficulty is real, the teamwork requirement is real, and the satisfaction when a mission goes right is real. The fact that you can accidentally kill your entire squad with a bad stratagem call? That's not a bug. That's the game.

Gear for Helldivers 2
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro
Dual-wireless, active noise cancellation, and a hot-swap battery system. This is the headset I actually use. The audio positioning in Squad is genuinely better with this thing.

Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2
60 grams. HERO 2 sensor. Zero drag cable (because there is no cable). If you're still using a wired mouse in 2024, here's the problem.

LG 27GP850-B 27" 1440p 165Hz
1440p at 165Hz is the sweet spot for tactical gaming. High enough resolution to see threats at distance, fast enough refresh to track movement. This is what I run.
