How to clip Helldivers 2 on PC

Updated 5 November 2026

Helldivers 2 clips are usually chaos: a stratagem dropped on your own squad, an extraction with everything chasing you, a reinforcement that lands right on an enemy. Clippy records while you play, so you press one key when it happens and keep the moment and the shouting that came with it.

Clip Helldivers 2 in four steps

  1. Download Clippy and open it once. It sits in the tray from then on.
  2. Start Helldivers 2. Clippy sees the game start and begins keeping the last minute in memory, with nothing to set up.
  3. When something happens worth keeping, press F8. That minute is saved as an MP4 named after the game and the time.
  4. Open the clip in Clippy to trim it, then press Share for a link, or export it vertical for TikTok, Shorts and Reels.

Helldivers 2 moments worth clipping

  • A stratagem thrown at the wrong spot that wipes your own squad.
  • An extraction held with seconds to spare and the whole map chasing you.
  • A reinforcement pod that lands on an enemy and kills it.
  • A big enemy taken down with a perfectly placed strike.
  • A ragdoll launched across the map by an explosion.

Good Clippy settings for Helldivers 2

Replay length 2 minutes

Things in Helldivers 2 escalate over a few minutes, and two minutes keeps the build-up to the disaster.

Frame rate 60 fps

Large fights with lots of effects are heavy, and 60 fps leaves room for the game while still looking smooth.

Separate audio tracks On (Windows 11)

The game, your squad on Discord and your mic are separate tracks, so you can keep the reactions and balance them against the explosions.

How Clippy records Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is on Steam, and Clippy knows tens of thousands of Steam games by name, so recording starts on its own.

Only the game window is recorded, through Windows Graphics Capture. Nothing is injected into the game process.

Sharing is up to you: clips stay on your disk until you press Share, and a link plays for anyone without an account. Too big for Discord? See sending clips under the size limit.

Questions

Can I keep my friends' voices in a Helldivers 2 clip?

Yes. On Windows 11 Discord is recorded on its own track, so you can keep it, turn it up or mute it in the editor.

How do I slow down a Helldivers 2 explosion?

Set the speed to 0.5x or 0.25x in the editor before you export.

Can I post a Helldivers 2 clip straight to our Discord server?

Yes. Clippy can post shared clips to your own Discord channel automatically through a webhook.
