One such issue is the "login limit reached" error message that's currently facing many players. It appears when the servers are at their capacity, and it's stopping many a player getting into Helldivers 2.
The only way to get past this is to keep trying, but there's no point in persisting if the servers are down! Let's check if they're currently down, and see how to check 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 game was most recently taken down for scheduled maintenance on 11th February 2024, before resuming play a few hours later.
A statement was shared by Arrowhead detailing what the latest patch looks to achieve.
"The current biggest issues are the game not dishing out rewards properly at the end of missions, accompanied with the reoccurring login failures.
"This is very important for us to fix as soon as possible, and as such, we've decided to perform server maintenance in about two hours (7pm CET/10am PST/3am JST).
"As always when making changes in a live environment, we need to address this with caution and monitor the situation closely.
"The dedicated Arrowhead team will be on standby to take action immediately if we see negative effects on the player experience. Note that during this maintenance we expect there to be larger disruptions to the servers for a limited period of time.
"Sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause. Thanks again for your patience, and let's get our Helldivers back in action!"
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 latter is where details of what is happening with the next patch were detailed shortly after launch.
"The most important thing to highlight is that we've made additional improvements to matchmaking," Arrowhead game director Mikael Eriksson told fans in the channel (via Eurogamer).
"A full matchmaking solution is in the works but will take a few more days to test and deploy. Thanks for your patience as we work through the last details."
The real-time online platform Downdetector is another useful tool for monitoring outages across a variety of video games.
While Helldivers 2 is yet to officially gain a Downdetector page, we're expecting one to be generated in the coming days.
Helldivers 2 is available across PlayStation 5 and PC.
