"Helldivers 2: Battling Toxicity, Meta Loadouts, and XP Farmers"
TL;DR
Despite the absence of PvP in Helldivers 2 to reduce toxicity, players are still engaging in toxic behavior by fighting over shared resources and team-killing to steal weapons. This behavior is particularly evident in high-difficulty lobbies, leading to frustration among players. Many are now hosting their own games to avoid disruptive players and are calling for an improved report function to address the issue.
