A recent uproar has erupted within the Helldivers 2 gaming community concerning the rather contentious issue of “meta” loadouts and the growing trend of players kicking their teammates who don’t adhere to these optimized setups. Helldivers 2, only a few weeks old, has seen players take a stringent approach to team composition, particularly for higher difficulties. I’m looking at you Helldive!
As players progress in the game and venture into more challenging missions, the importance of selecting the right loadout becomes increasingly emphasized. Certain items, such as the SG-225 Breaker Primary weapon, Railgun, Eagle 500KG Bomb, and Shield Generator Pack Stratagems, are being deemed essential for success on tougher missions marked as “8+.” Some players are advocating for kicking teammates who do not conform to these rather specific loadouts.
The situation has ignited a passionate debate among the Helldivers 2 player base. Those in favor of enforcing strict loadout requirements argue that it is essential for success, particularly in the face of challenging missions. On the other hand, gamers say that such stringent criteria goes against the cooperative and fun spirit of the game.
Despite the ongoing debate, Helldivers 2 continues to enjoy success, boasting a record-breaking launch on Steam. But where do you land in this debate, are the trolls ignoring meta and dying on purpose, or should we batten down the hatches and have another cup of Liber-Tea? Let us know in the commments!
