Helldivers II US sales went up yet again during its 3rd week in market. An honest-to-goodness inverse decay curve so far... (twitter.com)

It's fun, but extremely raw right now. Lots of balance issues, random disconnection issues, game stability issues, occasional game breaking bugs. More fun with friends than solo or randoms. Wait for a sale, though if $40 is nothing to you, then I guess go for it.

What balance issues are there? I want to play with some friends but they have a habit of metagaming and killing the joy.

Railgun is the best support weapon by a wide margin and many orbital strikes are just bait. Many of the primary weapons are mediocre and the secondary weapons there's basically only 1 good one.

That's said I played a lot of Helldivers 1 and trust that balance and new progression will come.

... I've already hit level cap in-game and am almost fully capped on all the samples.

Playing with friends is great imo. If they meta game I suggest just really leaning into a chaotic roleplay.
