Though some of the weapons in may be considered trash, they may not be as bad as they seem at face value. As the game has increased its player base, the weapons available to Helldivers have been placed into a community hierarchy. Though some guns may be marginally better than others, every weapon has its strengths and is viable for any mission. This flexibility, which transfers to most aspects of, has helped propel the game to success along with its chaotically fun gameplay.
After a chaotic first week, Helldivers 2 director says the team is "completely exhausted" but "very, very pleased" with its success

The director of Helldivers 2 says the team is "completely exhausted" by the success of the shooter, but "very, very pleased" with how it's shaping up.
After an eventful launch that saw heaps of players push the servers to the limit, Helldivers 2 director and Arrowhead CEO, Johan Pilestedt, takes to Twitter to reflect on the past week. "I am completely exhausted by the success. So is the team, many, many late nights, on-calls, emergency meetings, discussions around server capacity, shards, capacity units, CPU utilization, login rates, and CCU," the developer writes. "Tired, but very, very pleased."
Pretty soon after Helldivers 2's launch on February 8, Arrowhead was in "crisis mode" and forced to take the game offline due to server and matchmaking issues. Since then, the developers have rolled out several fixes and doubled the player capacity of its servers, but there's still work to be done - hence why the studio is about to start hiring more staff.
So, a bit of a retro of this week.I am completely exhausted by the success. So is the team, many, many late nights, on-calls, emergency meetings, discussions around server capacity, shards, capacity units, CPU utilization, login rates and CCU.Tired, but very, very pleased.February 16, 2024
While I dread this weekend from a technical perspective, the team has done a fantastic job in ironing out the kinks and I hope you all will be able to have a great time playing the game.February 16, 2024
With all this in mind, Pilestedt also said in a series of follow-up tweets that he was dreading the weekend "from a technical standpoint" but that "the team has done a fantastic job in ironing out the kinks." Giving a little more context to the current state of Helldivers 2, the CEO explains that the CCU graph (concurrent players) and icons that indicate how well things are performing are currently "glowing with a vibrant green," whereas last weekend a lot of them were bright red and "NOT OK."
In the replies to Pilestedt's tweets, several fans have thanked the team for their hard work, and asked what the future of Helldivers 2 will look like. When asked about a roadmap, the developer replied: "The team is working on it. Our old roadmap is very out of date in comparison to what we now want to do." The Arrowhead CEO also reassured concerned fans that the team is entitled to a good vacation soon.

Helldivers 2's Galactic War Is Actually Controlled By Only One Person
As players fight tooth and nail to reclaim planets overrun by Terminids and Automatons, developer Arrowhead reveals that the intergalactic war is managed by only a single person. While the core loop involves running around alien planets and gunning down various enemies, there's a much larger scale meta-game at play that sees the community fighting to take control of several endangered planets. Given that opposing factions seemingly respond to player-led pushes, many assumed it was simply an automatic difficulty setting to make the experience more challenging.
