Super Citizen Status is a title in Helldivers 2. Titles act similarly to clan tags in Call of Duty. Although you aren’t able to manually type in your own unique title, there’s a list you can choose from in the Destroyer’s Armory. You can change your title on the Title tab under the Armory’s character customization menu.

How to get Super Citizen in Helldivers 2

You can get Super Citizen status by purchasing Helldivers 2‘s Super Citizen Edition. If you haven’t purchased Super Citizen Edition its status won’t be available. Players with the Standard Edition will have the Cadet title and won’t be able to change it until they hit level 15. The same is true for those with Super Citizen Edition, as only the Cadet and Super Citizen titles are available at the beginning of your Helldivers career.

Do titles affect gameplay in Helldivers 2?

Your title does not affect your playthrough. It’s practically a cosmetics item. You don’t get any combat buffs, extra resources, or weapons for being a Super Citizen. Instead, the title is only viewable to other players on board your Destroyer ship or if you join theirs. There are 12 titles in Helldivers 2. All titles are unlocked by levelling up. You can level up quickly by completing Operations, secondary objectives, clearing Outposts, and killing faction enemies.

The Super Citizen status simply shows others the edition you own. It also sounds cool, but it’s more a way to flex your support for the Super Earth.
