To change the name of your Helldivers 2 ship you need to go to the console on board and to the “Ship Management” section, where the option to reselect from the two different lists is present - one a list of nouns, one a list of verbs, to end up with a ship name that’s usually “The (Something) of (Something)”. There’s no option to freely type in a ship name inHelldivers 2, but knowing what we know about the internet, that’s probably for the best. Still, for those who want more details, here’s the process for how to rename your ship in Helldivers 2 and personalize your destroyer.

To give your Helldivers 2 ship a new name,start by opening one of the Ship Management consoles in the hangar area. Next, click the “Change Ship Name” button on the right of the screen(Square on PlayStation) to bring up the full range of name options, letting you choose an entirely new name. There’s no way to give your ship a fully customized name, however, as the two lists of words restrict you to a “X Of Y” name for your ship. Once you’re happy, click “Apply Name” (X on PlayStation) to instantly update your ship.

The whole process is free and, as far as I can tell, has no limit, so rename your Destroyer at your leisure! As previously mentioned, this can be done on any ship too, so if you’re aboard a friend’s Destroyer viaHelldivers 2 crossplay, you’ll still be able to manage and rename your own ship, including spending Requisition Slips on new Stratagems and using various samples to unlock Ship Modules and upgrades.© GamesRadar+.
