The developers of Helldivers 2 are creating chaos among players with a new weapon: a flag that you can stab into your enemies

In an unexpected turn, developer Arrowhead has introduced the melee weapon CQC-1 One True Flag in Helldivers 2, which allows players to plant a flag directly on their enemies, alive or dead. Despite the eye-catching nature of this new feature, players have quickly begun reporting a serious issue: when planting the flag, the game crashes, affecting not only the player performing the action but also other members of the session.

A flag that can change the game

On social media platforms, the Helldivers community has begun to express their desire to use the One True Flag as a meme weapon. Users like Brulia_ and NotBreadyy have shared their intentions to intentionally cause game crashes while planting the flag, using the phrase “THY END IS NOW,” creating chaos in the matches. This behavior has elicited laughter among some players, although it jeopardizes the collaborative gaming experience that Helldivers promotes.

The ironic thing is that, despite the novelty represented by the One True Flag, many consider it ineffective compared to the CQC-19 Stun Lance, another melee weapon that offers better performance and does not take up valuable inventory space. Furthermore, the fact that players have to give up more lethal weapons to carry the flag will likely protect most users from falling into the more destructive trends.

Despite these issues, Arrowhead has confirmed that they are aware of the situation with the One True Flag and are investigating a solution. In a message sent to the community via the game’s Discord, the studio promised that updates will be published soon. In the meantime, players are urged to refrain from planting the flag, at least until a solution is implemented.
