What you need to know
- In the weeks following Helldivers 2's launch, the game's "meta" — the best armor, weapons, and stratagems to use — has settled. Though you can use anything you want and be successful in the first five or six of Helldivers 2's difficulty tiers, things get more complicated in the higher ones.
- Some players are kicking people who don't use meta loadouts from their games, sparking anger and arguments on social media sites like Reddit as well as in the game's Discord server.
- Many are looking to Arrowhead to buff underperforming gear in a balance patch. Fortunately, the studio says that it's "working on that for an update."
- We don't know when the update is coming or what changes it'll include specifically. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later.
