There is absolutely nothing wrong with some light roleplaying. It makes the game more immersive and therefore more fun. However, given the extreme conditions Helldivers 2 players are put in, it’s hard to stay fully immersed and still use swear words. Thus, some players suggested some creative ways to modify everyone’s favorite swears.
Helldivers’ Guide on How to Swear
By now, we are all aware of sayings like “Sweet Liberty” and “Holy Liberty”. Although these are quite versatile and players gladly use them, there are ways to personalize your experience.
One player, beardlaser, suggested: “Combine the ship name columns with a new column of things like great, sweet, by the, oh the, etc… so like, ‘great glory’s guardian!’ or ‘by the blade of patriotism’”. This will create some quite unique exclamations, and enrich the roleplaying.
Another player, siamesekiwi, gave a popular suggestion. They noted: “Take old-school blasphemy, and replace god/Jesus with liberty/democracy and you’ll have plenty to work with. Like, ‘Liberty Damit, stop throwing 500s at me’”.
Keeping up with the trend of switching a swear word with a term from the game, ZacTheRipper713 offered some ideas. They stated: “Instead of saying “f**k” I switch it out for “freedom” – GO FREEDOM YOURSELF, CLANKER TRASH”.
Of course, you can always go for a classic “For the love of Liberty/Democracy”. We also find exclaiming “Sweet Lady Liberty” quite relaxing. One player, MtnNerd, shared their favorite exclamation: “How can I liberate in these conditions?!”.
However, we have to admit, Zankastia made our favorite compilation. They suggested: “I hope you choke on a cup of liber-tea. By liberty! Clanker traitor! Roach lover! May your cape never flow”.
It’s important to keep things lighthearted even in the most tragic of times. We hope these suggestions will bring some laughter, while we all mourn Moradesh and hope for a better tomorrow. While we wait for the new Major Order, try joining the HellDads’ community event! For Liberty and Super Earth.
