All extraction shooters. When you succeed by not playing its a dumb shit gameplay loop

That's how I feel about battle royales. Best way to win is to camp. At least in extraction shooters I can be rewarded for survival and carry progress across raids.

I have tried quite many extraction shooters but Helldivers 2 was the last straw for me. After that I have avoided all of them. Oh and I remember that at the time of Helldivers 2 release the community was circlejerking over it 24/7. It was cringe.

I didn't really like Helldivers that much. I played a ton of escape from tarkov when it was still good, The Hunt Showdown, and Cycle Frontier were some of my favorites. Even the COD DMZ mode was actually okay despite it being a watered down extraction game. Unfortuntely I think the only polished experience for it out there is probably Helldivers and Hunt.... but that comes at the cost of loss of excitement for surviving. In Hunt or Helldivers I can just die 300 times in a row and it doesn't matter. However in Tarkov / Cycle similar extraction games surviving was huge for the account. Really high high's and really low low's that can't really be replicated in other games.
