Helldivers 2 players are arguing over playing casually or sticking to the 'meta,' and they're both right

Helldivers 2.

Is Helldivers 2 a competitive game? It's a fair question to ask about the surprise smash hit of 2024, and one its burgeoning community doesn't fully agree on. Some are diving deep into its arsenal to suss out the most lethal guns, destructive stratagems, and best mission types to farm for medals and Req. They see Helldivers 2 as a puzzle to be cracked with the perfect meta.

Others argue that Helldivers 2 isn't meant to be taken so seriously, and that we should focus on the simple fun of surviving, or very much not surviving, the bug and automaton wars.
