High Command, we've got a problem: Helldivers 2 players have embraced the "Chaosdiver" life after rebelling against Super Earth, and they've even designed a cape

gamesradar.com:

A group of treasonous Helldivers 2 players branding themselves "Chaosdivers" are full-on rebelling against Super Earth, and in case you're wondering just how severe the situation has become, they've even designed their own logo and cape.

Seemingly in response to recent balancing changes deemed unsavory by the community, there's now an increasingly concentrated movement to simply ignore High Command's authority and give way to the Automatons and Terminids. The group has been gaining traction on social media, with the top of the Helldivers subreddit at the time of writing largely dominated by memes and discussion surrounding the mutineers. There's even a whole Chaosdivers subreddit with 365 current members.

It's unclear precisely how much of this whole campaign amounts to tongue in cheek bluster and how much actually translates to in-game behavior, but if it is all one big act, its actors sure are committed to the bit. Right now, the unofficial Helldivers 2 Galactic Map website paints a pretty grim picture, suggesting  all of this negative momentum is indeed having a significant impact on the liberation front.

Reddit user spikywobble shared their own experience with the Chaosdivers, saying their game host "would purposely kill whoever joined while typing traitorous stuff in chat and grief."

"I am fine with people expressing their opinion to AH but please do not take it as an excuse to ruin the dive of working people who only have a couple hours a week to play," said spikywobble.

In contrast, a Chaosdiver going by hitman2b on Reddit explained their own in-canon motivation for turning against Super Earth in response to a player appalled by what they were seeing on the battlefield: "To put it simply if we have to go with a lore explanation it would be Super Earth betrayed us Helldivers by making our weapons worse."

Chaosdiver organizers have even started sharing advertisements to recruit new members, and I'll be completely frank with y'all, they're pretty compelling.
