Helldivers 2 has had some server issues to put it lightly, but Arrowhead Studios has been working overtime to fix the backend problems, raise the server cap, and even institute an AFK timer.
Helldivers 2 has blown up due to its challenging and chaotic cooperative gameplay, and the community-oriented Galactic Wars that require players to always be vigilant. However, the first hurdle is often getting online and past the queues of players.
If you’re one of the lucky ones to get in the game, you’ll also need to contest with the AFK timer, so it’s worth learning how long can idle before risking being kicked.
How long is the AFK timer?
The Helldivers 2 AFK timer lasts for 15 minutes, after which you’ll be kicked back to the title screen. Once at the title screen, it asked me to make an input before I could be logged back in and placed on my ship.

The timer was added during patch 1.000.11 on February 22, as many players had abused finding a spot on the servers by staying AFK for hours and sometimes overnight.
While you’ll be tempted to game the system in some way by keeping an input active (such as putting weight on your thumbstick to constantly stay moving), I discovered that this doesn’t bypass the AFK timer, and I was still removed after 15 minutes.
Other than playing the game, the only reliable way to stay online is to make an input on your controller or mouse every ten minutes or so. So, if you’re going fully AFK for more than 15 mins, you’re out of luck.
