Is this game viable to play with just 2 players?

No matchmaking, just playing with 2 players. Am I locked out of other events? I stopped playing Destiny 2 due to needing to find more people to play with and I'm worried this Live Service game will be the same.

perfectly playable with 2 people

For lower levels yes, but depends on your skill for the higher difficulties.

It'll be playable depending on your skill level and chosen difficulty, as you get better you can always try upping the difficulty to see if you can handle it.

Edit: It will be more difficult then with 4 people, since less people = less flexibility, but getting the main objectives and a handful of side objectives shouldn't be impossible

At the higher levels no, but so long as you don't go much above Hard it should be doable with 2.

If you're both really good and focus on being stealthy instead of bringing DEMOCRACY to everything in your way you can play any difficulty.

Like Zee said, pretty sure I've seen videos solo difficulties 7-9, it's all about stealth, but if you and your friends just want to blast bugs? I'd stick to 3 or 4 with two peeps.

Most important bit is this though, test difficulties and find what gives you and your friend the most fun, sure progression might be slower, but the important part is to have fun.

So how is that done? I get that certain armors help, but still most objectives require a lot of DEMOCRACY.

You can duo any difficulty without any issue assuming both of you are competent.

But with less players it typically means a difference in gameplay, higher difficulties with less people has a higher emphasis on using stealth as a mechanic whereas with 4 people you could get away with guns blazing.

idk if you want to watch it, but here's a video of me doing a Solo Stealth Helldive :/

Not locked out.

Here's an example of a solo run on Helldiver (max) difficulty.

Just don't expect to play at high difficulty levels like Rambo killing everything with ease.

Possible, yes! Easy? No.
You'd have to use baiting, stealth, and cunning to make it at the higher tiers. Honestly though, you can have a ton of fun never going above the 6th difficulty level.
