| GAME ENGINE |
HELLDIVERS 2
The development of HELLDIVERS 2 was a massive and complex process that took nearly eight years. This project proved to be an ambitious one for Arrowhead Game Studios, a studio known for its ability to create exciting and fast-paced games. The key point of development was the desire not only to repeat the success of the first part, but also to significantly deepen and expand the gameplay, which required careful consideration of many aspects, from mechanics and plot to design and user interface.
One of the most important aspects of development was the integration of a new strategem system that allowed players to call for support on the battlefield. This system was inspired by real-life military technology and the studio's previous experiences, adding realism and novelty to the game. The developers actively interacted with the community, collecting feedback and suggestions that helped make the gameplay deeper and more interesting.
HELLDIVERS 2 graphics
The graphic design of HELLDIVERS 2 deserves special attention. Unlike the first part, the developers have significantly improved the visual effects, using the latest advances in computer graphics. The main attention was paid to detailing the world and characters, which allowed us to achieve a new level of immersion in the game. The game uses advanced lighting and texturing technologies, making combat and interaction with the environment look much more realistic.
The team also worked to optimize the game for various platforms, allowing HELLDIVERS 2 to look great on both powerful gaming PCs and the latest generation consoles. This was made possible by working closely with hardware manufacturers and using customized versions of game engines that maximized the potential of each platform.
Game engine HELLDIVERS 2
HELDIVERS 2 was developed based on an improved version of the game engine that was used in the first part. The new version of the engine allowed the developers to significantly expand the game's capabilities, including more complex AI opponents, improved physics and detailed weather effects that directly affect the gameplay. The integration of modern technology has also improved the animation and interactivity of the world, making it more alive and realistic.
| DIFFERENT QUALITY MODES |
In-game graphics settings at minimum reduce the level of detail and disable various graphics functions to improve performance, while settings at maximum enable all possible effects, providing the highest quality and detail of the image.

Our video cards were tested at resolutions of 1920x1080 , 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 with maximum graphics quality settings.
| GPU TEST |
In the video card test, the default resolution is 1920x1080; other resolutions are added and removed manually. You can also remove and add any positions of video cards. You can also select any of our test processors from the list in the drop-down menu, comparing its performance with the given video card tests (by default, the most productive solution is selected). The test is carried out on the most powerful CPU in this game and is scaled to other processors, taking into account their testing on NVIDIA and AMD video cards.
At a resolution of 1920x1080, an average FPS of 25 frames was shown by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A minimum FPS of at least 25 frames can be provided by video cards of the Radeon RX 6600 or GeForce RTX 2060 level . A comfortable average FPS of 60 frames can be provided by Radeon RX 6600 XT or GeForce RTX 2060 solutions .
