"Helldivers 2: The Battle Against Cheats, Traitors, and Meta Loadouts"
TL;DR
Cheaters and traitors are undermining the war effort in Helldivers 2 by exploiting the game's mechanics to gain unfair advantages, such as collecting excessive samples and using hacks for infinite ammo and invulnerability. This cooperative-only game's progression is being disrupted, with even legitimate players being affected by the cheats. The developer, Arrowhead Game Studios, is addressing the issue and offering to reset affected accounts upon request.
