Helldivers 2 CEO Shams Jorjani has responded after players overwhelmingly voted to give the reconstructed city of Remembrance an absurd new name: Gun. The decision serves as yet another reminder that when given the chance, gamers will always pick the funniest option—and Helldivers 2 is no exception.

Following the recent Battle of Super Earth, the game's ongoing narrative has shifted to rebuilding efforts. When Arrowhead Game Studios asked the community to name the restored city, they offered several choices: New Remembrance, Everlasting Memory, Winds of Change, Tides of War, Peacebeacon’s Bloodlight—and, of course, Gun. While some options were serious or thematic, players decisively embraced the meme, with Gun securing a staggering 72% of the 85,000+ votes.

The sheer absurdity of the name has left some fans skeptical about whether Arrowhead will actually implement it. One player directly questioned Jorjani on the official Helldivers 2 Discord, asking if Gun City would become a reality. The CEO responded, "I really don’t know where we are with that. I personally hope we go the managed democracy route and pick something else."

Will "Gun" Stick, or Will Super Earth Overrule Democracy?

At first glance, Jorjani’s comment might seem discouraging for fans of the meme. However, he later added a crucial clarification: "The people have spoken." Given the landslide victory of Gun, ignoring the vote would go against the community’s clear preference—though, as Jorjani hinted, Super Earth is a "managed democracy," meaning the final decision may not be entirely in players' hands.

As Helldivers 2 continues to thrive, Arrowhead’s engagement strategies—like letting players shape the world—have kept the community deeply invested in the Galactic War. With Helldivers 3 still years away, the studio has no reason to rush, especially while the sequel remains wildly popular.

For now, all eyes are on whether Gun will officially become a part of Helldivers 2 lore—or if Super Earth’s bureaucrats will "correct" the vote in true dystopian fashion. Either way, the players have made their choice loud and clear.
