The Helldivers 2 community has been talking about a certain Joel for a long time. The game master, who determines the fate of players defending Super Earth, is the topic of many discussions about the morality of developers - not all players are happy that one real person is responsible for events that are unfortunate for them.

It's hard to deny Arrowhead Game Studios' creativity. Liked or not, Joel has become a "cult" figure for the world of Helldivers, and judging by recent reports, making soldiers' lives miserable isn't in his nature.

The game master enters the fray

The events in question took place last Monday. A YouTube user named Ardy shared a clip of a Helldivers player who, before leaving the game, left behind a large APC transporter for the team.

We aren't talking here about an ordinary player, nor even about a gift. The vehicle from "Joel" isn't yet available in the actual game - so far it is not known when transporters will actually be introduced in Helldivers 2. Hence, there is a high probability that the mysterious guest was the game master himself.

Mods predicting the future?

Certainly, with Arrowhead developers in mind, no one will openly acknowledge that Joel from the clip is the real deal. There is a high probability that the surprise came from a modder who dug into the game files concealing APC. Then appropriating the "divine" name would only be a prank directed at the fans.

Whether it's a joke or not, there was quite a stir among the fans, tinged with a bit of excitement. The video has been shared by larger social media accounts, including Helldivers 2 Media on X.
