Helldivers 2 has been out for well over a week and yet it still suffers from the kind of connection issues that would be (and were) unacceptable by launch day standards, let alone days later.”
Some Helldivers 2 missions have modifiers that make the game more difficult, but a Reddit user has suggested modifiers to make it more fun.

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)
But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"
The current Helldivers 2 Major Order grants all players access to the 500KG Bomb and many are discovering its not a good Stratagem.
When they last use bring it for free last weekend I felt really really overpowered. It's better than an Orbital Railgun if you are good at throwing. It can one-shot an entire smaller bug hole. I was getting 600+ kills easily on the harder difficulties.
Eagle airstrike will do the same with a wider radius and 3 uses vs 2 on the 500lg. The 500kg makes up for the smaller radius with height which is good for the Bile Titans.
Needs a bigger AOE. It really feels like it does not have an AOE that is anywhere near how it looks.
Precision Strike is better. Much faster cooldown, and hit quite hard if you use it right.
Lol nice one Jim. But people have already been playing the game for a while now. The people know what they have here and it turns out... they absolutely LOVE IT. The devs are also really passionate. The gamers love the experience and that same experience is only going to get better and better. Thanks for your input though Jim
...guess this isnt the kind of game for Stephanie.
Gives suicide squad 65 but this 35 (Insert mind blown meme)
“Oh, and it’s grindy as all hell to unlock upgrades and cosmetics.”
No it isn’t.
“This is compounded by several objectives in which you have to literally sit patiently while a timer counts down for ages and enemies barely spawn.”
Play on higher difficulties. You’ll be overwhelmed immediately upon entry.
“ It’s amazing to me that this game throws in multiple outfits that make you look like a medic, but they took the fucking medicine out.”
Not true. My medic comes with two extra stims, and anybody can heal anybody so long as you have them.
I understand getting frustrated with not being able to play especially that it’s an online game, & maybe Stephanie has had really bad luck with connecting.
Afaic it’s down to a 5/10. Can’t recommend a game that can only be played 5 out of 10 tries (latest attempt was last night).
The worst times are when it does work & it crashes a few minutes before extraction & you lose all rewards you would’ve gotten.
Would the devs, which I like to think are doing everything they can find it acceptable to return the money spent until the issues are fixed? If they’re asking me to wait to play, can I ask them to wait to get paid?
Bottom line I paid for a game I only were able to properly play the first few days.
