How to Vote in Helldivers 2
Helldivers 2 players can vote by heading to the Galactic War Map on their ship, and pressing the B/Touch Pad button on keyboard/controller to access the Democracy Space Station. From this menu, hit the Location tab and choose where to use your voting token among the list of potential planets. You can also see the current winning candidate and the number of players on each planet who have voted for it.
Players can only vote every 4 hours, but in some instances, like choosing to Raze a planet, they will only be able to vote once every 24 hours. There is no way to retract a vote.
What Does Voting in Helldivers 2 Do?
The DSS Effects & Tactical Actions
Voting in Helldivers 2 is important, as it determines where the Democracy Space Station (DSS) will go. The DSS is vital to the operations of Helldivers, as it provides unique passive buffs when attempting to liberate or defend the planet that the DSS is currently stationed on.
With the DSS in orbit, players can expect a boost to Liberation Campaign progress, extra Stratagems that aren’t in their loadout, and faster cooldown/deployment times on other Stratagems. You can help to increase the aid from the DSS by hitting the Actions tab and donating resources like Common Samples, Rare Samples, and Requisition Slips that can unlock Eagle Airstrikes, Orbital 380mm HE Barrages, and Hellpod Space Optimization Boosters.
The DSS can also be stationed at a liberated planet to raze it, which will take the DSS offline for 24 hours, but also ensures that no enemies will be able to attack the planet.
