Stims are a very simple tool in Helldivers 2 and it is about time they got a change. Every game has its basic healing item. You use it when you are in danger and it keeps you going through the hard times. Elden Ring has the Crimson Flask, various games have med kits, and Helldivers 2 has stims. Just when you thought a change couldn’t come to this tool in Helldivers 2, a recent poll in the Discord server has hinted at a rework coming in the future. There is no guaranteed date for this addition but players seem to be fully on board with the idea. So what is this stim change for Helldivers 2?
A recent poll in the Helldivers 2 Discord server asked the question, “Would you like to be able to stim while at full health to replenish your Stamina?” To this, over 30,000 players responded with an astounding 84% of them saying yes to the poll. Only 16% of the players who responded or around 4,800 people said they would not like this to be a feature. On the reverse side, around 25,000 players said they would like the feature to be added to the game.
There is currently no information as to if this will ultimately end up being added to Helldivers 2 but the team has been known to get feedback from the community and implement it in some way. For instance, back when the devs were handling all the balancing issues, they listened to the players when decided how to buff certain weapons. This ultimately ended up being a massive patch with over 100 changes and fixes which was well-received by fans of the game.
Since Arrowhead is listening more to the community, we could possibly see this feature implemented in the future. We think it would be nice to have some sort of tool that replenishes your stamina quickly and we don’t always use all of our stims so it would make sense for them to have both a healing and stamina replenishment effect.
