Helldivers 2 has been losing players and many claim that it is thanks to a lack of planet variety, too many gun nerfs, and a lack of new mission types.
After being forced under the map with no way to escape, Helldivers 2 was an option added to force respawn so they can get back to action.

As we stand here, on the eve of the Escalation of Freedom, we reflect on the 6 months since launch. We could never have predicted how far this game would go and how many Citizens would answer Super Earth’s call to arms!"
I love that the devs talk about the game in character. Lol
On topic:
New mission types, new enemies, and new DIFFICULTY… sounds good.
Helldivers 2 players share their strangest deaths, some of them are hilarious. What is the most unusual way you died?
That's a fair assessment. Games always have a decline in player base over time. But I've "done it all" in Helldivers. I played and we collectively beat back the automatons and the bugs.
The reward? "Nah, not really." It was that feeling of accomplishment that had kept me playing. I thought this game was different.
Then, I expected, as humanity won, I would encounter terminid and automaton planets where they battled each other. That would be fun.
The polar warbond did not match the trailer for the warbond. It wasn't much longer and I decided to play other games.
Lack of variety is part of it for sure.
Currently, the game doesn't even have everything from the first game. For example, where are the bosses like the first game had? Where are the super earth defense missions? How about the vehicles? Or the illuminate.
Everything I mentioned above are in the first game. Plus with this being a pvp game, more content is always needed
Smells GaaSy
After buying all the stratagems, ship modules, and lackluster warbonds. I do feel the monotony. Still very fun when you have a group of friends together. I used to run plenty of missions with Random matchmaking and had a good time, but that seems to be winding down. I pretty much log in daily just to complete the personal orders for the 15 bonds you get, The game just needs more content. A new enemy species, and some vehicle would bring folk back quick. Like the article said. These DLC warbonds are pretty awful. I have them all and still just run with the Breaker or sickle because they are just best all around. The only 2 pieces of new kit that are useful in my opinion have been the grenade pistol, and incendiary impact.
I have almost 200hrs in that game. I'm playing Stellar Blade and FF Reunion then finishing Rebirth. I want the Illuminate. I was thinking bout playing it yesterday but ye I think it needs some different things other than weapons. New enemies and missions. I'd also LOVE if they put bosses in it, thatd be super dope.
