"Unveiling the Hidden Stats: Helldivers 2's Weapon Meta and Balance Patch"
Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt addresses the toxic "meta" culture in Helldivers 2, stating that guns have hidden stats beyond the visible four, and players should not solely rely on the meta for weapon choices. He hints at potential weapon customization in the future. While acknowledging the existence of metas, he encourages players to use what they want and not take the meta too seriously, as it goes against the chaotic and fun nature of the game.
