The game is absolutely not pay to win in any way. I don't know where people are coming up with this.

The "buffs" on armor are all the same (seriously, look at all the armor pieces you have), have no advantage over anything, and are more just flavor than anything game breaking or actually OP.

The paid currency can easily be earned in game.

There is nothing pay to win about Helldivers 2.

Paying to advance or get "gear" that does anything more than change looks is pay to win
