The new CEO of Helldivers 2, Shams Jorjani, addressed the community on Reddit, discussing transparency in gear stats. He replaced Johan Pilestedt, allowing Pilestedt to focus on game development. Players are seeking more visibility on gear stats to help with balance issues and community trust. Jorjani acknowledges the importance of understanding but insists some mystery enhances the game's experience. Future streams with him and Pilestedt are expected to address these concerns further.

Why are Helldivers 2 players requesting more transparency in gear stats?

Emphasis is on teamwork and strategy, making balanced gear crucial for successful gameplay. The new CEO transition aims to keep the game's development direction steady while addressing player concerns to improve their experience further.
