Hello, Everyone,

After reviewing recent Helldivers II submissions, I’ve decided to adjust the Cluster values awarded for the game to better reflect the time and effort required across different difficulty tiers.

While the game offers a wide range of missions and objectives, recent data shows that the lower difficulties (1–3 and 4–6) complete far faster than initially projected, resulting in significantly higher Cluster returns per hour compared to other approved titles.

the following adjustments will take effect immediately:

Helldivers II

Base Values:
- Difficulty 1–3: 1 Cluster of Fire
- Difficulty 4–6: 2.5 Clusters of Fire
- Difficulty 7–10: 3.5 Clusters of Fire

Rationale:

These updated values more accurately reflect average completion times and bring Helldivers II into alignment with similar games that scale rewards based on mission length and complexity.

I understand some players enjoy running rapid missions on lower difficulties, and this change isn’t meant to discourage that playstyle, only to ensure fair rewards across all supported platforms and games as we will see more changes coming in the future as we close out the Cluster Review project.

As always, I’m open to feedback. Please feel free to reach out via email or Discord if you have any suggestions or data to share regarding these updates.
