Helldivers 2 can be frustrating when playing solo or with randoms. I feel like it was designed to be played with your friends, communication and teamwork are very important aspects of the game. That being said, not everyone has friends to play with, and most random groups don't care about working together. The difficulty of each game scales with how many people you play with, and how long you take to complete a mission. The game forces you to adapt to changes in meta, grind for resources that prolong missions, and use stratagems best suited for the mission/ type of enemy you face. For instance, when my squad fights bots, we typically bring armor with the Fortified perk (resistance to explosive damage). It makes a hell of a difference, but most players want perks that give more grenades, or more stims. A lot of players run light armor so they can run faster but complain when the die from a few shots. People love running shield packs, but still end up dying multiple times. Everyone wants that "easy win" but don't take the time to research the optimum loadout. People always Leroy Jenkins when all it takes is sticking together and fighting as a team. (tldr; game is hard for a reason. The devs don't want players to mindlessly steamroll through the game. They want you to think and work together.)

Maybe dont play as much and come back refreshed. When i play too much of any game it becomes unfun to play.

I have about 350 hours, started playing a day after release. I take breaks often, I don’t play as much anymore, and each time I comeback missions are a drag for me, annoying and frustrating. I miss how this game was in its first month, now it seems to be unnecessarily annoying with the recent changes.

Implying there was a point when it wasn't? Gee whiz. Almost like that was the idea.

I’m not sure if I understand, but for the first month and a half, we used to play only in Helldive on both automatons and terminids (after we unlocked it) and the game felt fine. I don’t remember the last time I did Helldive bots, even bugs are a headache when there’s 4-8 stalkers chasing you, 2-6 titans strolling around and a sprinkling of chargers. But the MLG gamers will say skill issue, use stratagems and the cycle continues, same old.

Idk I don’t feel frustrated at all it’s pretty hard game and I like that especially when u get a good team to run it.

It’s still a great game, the balance changes combined with the steam/sony fiasco is putting a dent in though. About 3/4 of the people I played with for the first month are gone, we’ve had 150k people online today, we used to get 300-400k on weekends.
