WHAT IS IT?HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a squad-based third-person shooter where players fight alien threats using a variety of weapons and special abilities. The game features intense action, graphic violence, including blood, dismemberment, and environmental hazards like explosions. It also offers a first-person view for better accuracy. WHAT WE SAY: Avoid. HellDiver 2 is an exciting, fast-paced multiplayer game that lets you team up with others to dive into perilous missions on alien planets. However, as with any online game, there are risks involved. Whether you’re new to online gaming or a seasoned veteran, it's important to understand how to stay safe while having fun. Access to Inappropriate Content:While HellDiver 2 is rated for mature audiences (likely due to intense combat and violence), there may still be instances where players are exposed to inappropriate content. In games that allow chat or voice communication, players may be exposed to inappropriate language or offensive behaviour. Players may encounter unfiltered content if they are directed to external sites via shared links or community boards. Direct Messaging: Direct messaging in multi-player games with a convenient way to communicate privately. Players can receive messages from strangers that could be spam, malicious, or inappropriate. Malicious players may try to trick users into sharing personal information, account credentials, or clicking on harmful links. Online Predators and Grooming: Online predators may target younger or inexperienced players to build trust and manipulate them into sharing personal information or participating in inappropriate activities. Privacy Risks: Online games often collect player data for analytics, marketing, or gameplay improvement. Cybercriminals may target your account for hacking or identity theft, especially if you use weak passwords or share your account credentials with others. |
