Helldivers 2 is the anticipated successor to the classic top-down shooter game Helldivers, which continues its legacy by offering highly immersive cooperative gameplay to the players. Furthermore, players also experience improved graphics, new exciting missions, and enhanced multiplayer functionality while playing Helldivers 2.

Ever since Helldivers 2 was released, it has gained immense recognition among gamers. However, the game's massive popularity has resulted in server capacity problems, which cause players to wait in long queues before entering the game. Luckily, this guide provides a solution for players looking for a way to skip the queue.

How to Skip Server Capacity Queue

A server capacity issue arises when every slot in the server is occupied, leaving no space for additional players. Due to this, many players will be placed in the queue and have to wait until the server reopens. This delay time annoys players who want to jump into the game quickly.

While there's no direct way to cut in line in Helldivers 2, players can try this alternate strategy to bypass the queue. However, remember that you will need at least one online friend in the game to skip the queue.

Players can avoid the queue by participating in their friend's session. If you are playing on Steam, go through your friend list, or if you are playing it on PlayStation, check the player's profile to join their session. Since Helldiver 2 offers cross-play, it will work between both platforms.

Remember that when you are in the queue, make sure your friend is on the ship and not on a mission.

Another way to join your friend's session is by accepting their invitation. Ask your friend to invite you to join their session. Wait for the invitation and accept it to skip the line. Sadly, this method will not work if you do not have any active friends in the game. Alternatively, you can also consider the options below to avoid queues in the game.

Off-Peak Gaming

Because this issue arises due to high traffic caused by players, it is better to avoid playing during peak times, such as in the evening or during weekends. Players will usually see smaller queues while playing during off-peak time.

Check Network Connection

Helldivers 2 being an online game means that players with weaker internet connections may experience longer queue times. Make sure you have a stronger internet connection before joining the game.
