Overview

• Utah officials disclosed that one of four recovered shell casings bore the message "Hey, fascist! Catch! ↑ → ↓↓↓," matching Helldivers 2’s Eagle 500kg Bomb input.
• Investigators said three of the four casings were unfired, and the Helldivers-related engraving was on one of the unfired shells.
• Other engravings cited by authorities included a furry meme reference, a lyric from "Bella Ciao," and a crude taunt.
• Reporters noted the suspect is 22 years old as investigators examine the inscriptions as part of an active federal investigation.
• Helldivers players and moderators condemned real-world violence as the official Discord saw a surge of posts and the subreddit was temporarily locked.
