GantzTheDemon has been accused of repeatedly teamkilling all three other players from their own team just before extraction. The act of gunning down one’s team without so much as an emote is unacceptable in any game. And considering that Helldivers is a game that celebrates cooperation in the game, the player’s actions caused a lot of uproar.
The community was of the opinion that such a traitor to Super Earth and Managed Democracy should not go unpunished. As a result, game-wide manhunts were organized while threats against Gantz were also being spoken about all over Helldivers-related social media.
In a Reddit post, the player claims that they have come across multiple reports that GantzTheDemon was responsible for “killing of his own fellow helldivers for nothing more than for sick pleasure.” The player through their post advised other players to stay aware of the accused killer. The player also advised that those pairing up with the accused player must only open fire on him in return and not strike first.
