"Helldivers 2 Community Divided Over 'Meta' Loadouts and XP Farmers"

TL;DR Summary
In Helldivers 2, players are kicking teammates who don't bring "meta" loadouts to higher difficulties, sparking a heated debate within the community. While some argue for the necessity of optimized loadouts for success, others believe the game should prioritize fun and cooperation. The game's developer, Arrowhead, may address this issue through balance tweaks in the future. Despite the meta build, some players are choosing to enjoy the game at their own pace. Helldivers 2 has seen significant success, becoming Sony's biggest PC game launch and reigniting interest in the film Starship Troopers.
