In Helldivers 2, a single developer named Joel serves as the "Game Master," controlling large-scale aspects of the solar system-wide war against bugs and bots, and directly influencing the player population. Joel can adjust difficulty levels, reinforce planets, and provide temporary equipment to the community. Players have jokingly blamed him for recent losses, and are curious about his next moves in the ongoing conflict.
