Despite regular updates that improve the experience, Helldivers 2’s intense fog effects make the battlefield problematic.
Visibility in Helldivers 2 has been a concern since its launch in February. This is largely due to its thick fog effects and complicated brightness settings.
Developer Arrowhead Game Studios has continued to roll out regular updates for the title, with many featuring balance adjustments, bug fixes and more.
However, none of the patches addressed the issues with the ongoing fog, much to the dismay of the Helldivers community.
A player brought up the topic in a discussion on Reddit that attracted a lot of attention. As the user points out, seeing through the fog on Helldivers 2’s maps can prove to be frustrating, to say the least.

This is especially difficult when fighting enemy Automatons, whose abilities do not prevent them from spotting players in obstructive weather conditions.
The “very cluttered color palette”of several planets doesn’t help either. On planets like Ustotu, Helldivers often find themselves searching for the red eyes of robots while wading through dirt and thick red fog.
Aside from adjusting some visual settings, there is no real solution to this specific problem. And this has led some to wonder why players don’t have access to night vision or thermal technology.
Whether and when Arrowhead plans to diminish these effects in Helldivers 2 – or deploy another solution – remains to be seen at this time.
