Cheaters have been a top topic in player feedback since launch, and today we are united in dealing a hefty blow to their undemocratic ways!
Greetings, Helldivers.
You've told us that cheaters and exploiters ruin the experience that it feels unfair when someone games the Super Credit system while you're out there earning yours the hard way. We heard you, and we're starting to implement changes that will tackle issues like this...
Today we’re improving our monitoring methods for suspicious Super Credit activity. Here's exactly what that means for you.
If you earn credits at an unreasonably high rate (substantially higher than the highest players earning ever recorded) there are now steps in place to counter this. This will not affect legitimate players, only the bad apples cheating the system.
If you're playing the game grinding maps, clearing POIs, looting bunkers you will never experience any change. So keep on liberating with your squad on a marathon grind, or even a full weekend of play. The cap exists to catch bad actors, not to slow you down.
Cheaters. Botters. People using automation and duplication exploits to hoover up Super Credits at rates no human Helldiver could ever reach legitimately. Those are the targets and now we have radically improved the tools to stop them at the source, before they can do damage to the economy you play in.
By drawing a firm line, we can:
Catch and stop cheating at the point of exploit not after the harm is done.
Keep earned rewards meaningful, so your Super Credits actually feel worth having.
Level the playing field across every planet and every player population.
And of course allow you legitimate players to keep as many super credits as you earn, forever!
These changes will be rolling out for all reward currencies including Medals, Samples, and Requisition
This is a win for the community. A healthier economy means the Super Credits you earn through honest service to Super Earth stay worth earning.
We know changes like this can raise questions. The player support team is ready to review your case.

You told us the fight wasn't fair. Today marks a big step towards eradicating pesky cheaters. We'll keep listening and keep communicating openly as we continue to improve the game.
For Super Earth. For Democracy. For a cheat-free galaxy.
