Learn how to get Super Citizen status in Helldivers 2 by purchasing the Super Citizen Edition or Upgrade pack. Master pinging and marking locations on PC and PS5 for better team coordination.
Helldivers 2 isn’t a game that explains a lot to you. If you have been matchmaking with other players, you may have seen some of your fellow soldiers with the ‘Super Citizen’ status. This guide explains how to get it and how to use the ping system effectively.
How to get Super Citizen Status in Helldivers 2
Super Citizen Status is a title that appears next to your name in-game and offers no gameplay benefit. The only way to earn Super Citizen Status in Helldivers 2 is by purchasing the Super Citizen Edition of the game or the Super Citizen Edition - Upgrade pack from the PlayStation Store or Steam. If you have purchased either of these and have not received your status or associated bonuses, keep playing and restarting the game; it may appear after several hours. If the problem persists, a fix is expected from Arrowhead Game Studios.
Pinging Enemies and Objectives on the Minimap
Pinging locations on the map is crucial for alerting your fellow Helldivers to specific enemies or objectives, especially when playing online with strangers. If you’re not fond of using voice chat, marking things on your minimap or pinging them is the next best thing.
Controls for Pinging and Marking Locations on the PC
To ping a location, face the objective or enemy and press Q. A brief ping will appear for about 6 seconds. To mark a specific location on the minimap, press Tab to open it, hold down the right mouse button while moving the mouse to explore the map, and click the left mouse button to place a marker. The marker will remain until you place another one.
Controls for Pinging and Marking Locations on PS5
To ping a location on the PS5, press R1 + D-Pad Up. To mark a location, open the minimap via the touchpad, navigate to the spot using the joystick, then press the Cross button to mark it.
These commands are essential for improving communication in Quickplay parties and can be handy even when using voice chat, as they provide a quick visual tool.
