It seems like high-level players are getting more and more toxic as missions get difficult inHelldivers 2. A player recently shared a post for allHelldivers 2players on Steam listening out all the rules that should be normalized for 8+ difficulty level missions. They made it clear that players must meet these criteria, otherwise they will be kicked from the game.

These try-hards seem to forget that the point of a video game likeHelldivers 2is to provide everyone with an entertaining co-op experience with their friends. The high-difficulty missions are indeed very tricky to complete but not everyone would like to follow these rules. The Steam post sparked debates on social media over the growing problem of toxicity within theHelldivers 2community.
ThisHelldivers 2player wants everyone to follow these rules
In this viral post onHelldivers 2‘s official discussion page onSteam, aHelldivers 2player tried to set the standard for 8+ difficulty level missions because they believe players are trolling “high-level matches.” They made a list of things that players must use in the matches, otherwise they will be kicked.
Helldivers 2 Major Order Theory: Turning Meridia into a Black Hole is What Pushes The Illuminate to Come Out of Hiding
The player wants everyone to use the right breaker gun, railgun, grenade launcher, and shield. Anything other than these mentioned Stratagems/weapons will get you kicked if you join this player’s squad. They made it clear that players can use their “silly builds or weak guns” on solo missions or with their friends.
Toxic players are ruiningHelldivers 2for everyone
One of the main reasons why people have stopped playingHelldivers 2is the toxic fanbase. Although the majority ofthe community is very welcoming and wholesome, it is only a few players that have been spreading negativity. The players quickly started trolling the OP for their impractical and useless suggestions.

The community is what’s keeping me from buying it, was considering getting into streaming and using it as my first game but the community is toxic as hell, somehow more toxic than league

Mildly hilarious. Our group has been running helldive difficulty. We usually only take one rail gun for the team and maybe one shield backpack if we feel like it.If the OP needs the meta loadouts, they shouldn’t be on 8+ difficulty lol

People should play how they want.

Helldivers 2’s About to Change Forever if We Complete the Next Major Order
Arrowhead devs only get demotivated by all the whining and complaining as they can’t cater to everyone. If players wish to see new gear, weapons, and Stratagems, they need to be patient as they will definitely see new content when Arrowhead introduces the Illuminate, the third rumored faction of the game.
Helldivers 2is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
