The Hidden Fun in Helldivers 2: Rock, Paper, Scissors

Helldivers 2 is known for its intense co-op shooting action, but did you know that you can also engage in a lighthearted game of rock, paper, scissors? In this guide, we'll show you how to unlock and play this fun little diversion in the game.

To play rock, paper, scissors in Helldivers 2, you'll need to access the Emote function. This function offers a range of hilarious and celebratory actions that Helldivers can perform. The specific emote you're looking for is 'Rock, Paper, Scissors,' which can be obtained through the Warbonds acquisition track.

Unlocking this emote requires a total of 650 medals, with the 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' emote found on page eight of the battle pass. You'll need to spend 50 medals to unlock it, so make sure to complete operations on various planets and complete daily orders to earn enough medals.

Once you've unlocked the emote, playing rock, paper, scissors is easy. Only one player needs to have the emote equipped, and by pressing the emote button (left on the D-pad on PS5, B on PC), the other player can interact using the emote button as well. This allows you to choose your move by selecting rock, paper, or scissors using the D-pad or arrow keys.

But the 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' emote isn't the only interactive emote in Helldivers 2. Early on, you can also unlock the 'Explosive Handshake,' which adds a spark of excitement to your interactions, or even share a heartfelt hug with your fellow Helldivers. It's these little touches of charm that make Helldivers 2 more than just a war against alien invaders.

So, when the tension of battle becomes too much, take a moment to enjoy the lighter side of Helldivers 2 with a game of rock, paper, scissors. It's a fun way to break the ice and show off your personality in this action-packed co-op shooter.
