Helldivers 2 is a hit game in the truest sense. Players took to it quickly, the word of mouth scuttlebutt was great, and now it's being updated regularly with cool new content.

It's a fun time to be a Helldivers fan, with the increased level cap and the updated ranks giving players plenty to aim for (besides glory in the galactic war, that is).
The "login limit reached" error doesn't pop up as much as it used to, but no online only game is ever fully safe from server issues.
Let's check if the Helldivers 2 servers are currently down, and see how to check the server status whenever you're having trouble.
Is Helldivers 2 down?

Helldivers 2 is not currently down, with its servers fully functioning at the time of writing.
The latest server issue came on Tuesday 2nd April, following the release of a big new update.
Players experienced a lot of Helldivers 2 crashing after the update, with the developers soon identifying an issue with the Acquisitions menu.
This issue has now been patched with a small hot-fix update, and Helldivers 2 is now back up and running.
How to check Helldivers 2 server status
The best way to check the Helldivers 2 server status is by heading to the game's respective social media channels.
Arrowhead has been most active across X (formerly Twitter), Reddit and the official Helldivers Discord channel, so we'd suggest starting there.
The real-time online platform Down Detector now has an official page about Helldivers 2, as well, where players can log their own issues and see if anyone else is currently experiencing similar problems.
Between all those pages we've just linked to, you should have plenty of ways to check the Helldivers 2 server status in future.
