Some Players Proposed a Controversial Take on Recent Helldivers 2 Nerfs

With all the rage concerning recent nerfs in Helldivers 2, one player proposed a contraverial take.

I totally agree with the reddit user. I stopped playing the game because the weapons I enjoyed using basically rendered me useless against bile titans and I don't have fun using the 'meta' because I don't enjoy being a conformist.

It's not fun when I want to use the arc Blitzer and then getting completely outclassed by a sickle user. I found myself constantly on the run using certain weapons and being more of a burden to my team than a helpful asset. Balancing just killed the fun for me. Hopefully the weapon customizations make everything viable and not just certain weapons.

Make the ems strike great again!

Umm, they just buffed the Blitzer and nerfed the Sickle

Obviously I'm speaking pre patch. The point still stands, bringing a stalwart renders you useless against heavies and same with laser Canon. You are forced to play a certain way at higher difficulty and to deny this is to deny reality.

Changes are going to continue happening. Some buffs some nerds. Eventually they will find the right balance but it takes time. Sickle had a lot of mags taken away but if you use it right it doesn’t matter that much until get to level 7+ and then it sucks !

Haven’t used Blitzer since patch I’ll have to see how much better it is

No one deserves to deal with hate for doing their job... so fuck those people for being hateful. At the same time I think AH, or any developer tbh, owes it to thier playerbase that has done nothing wrong but played and supporyed the game given to them to implement any good idea they get no matter how it was delivered.

Very loud minority is complaining. I see people using one in every round i play and they kick ass, have to remember there are tons of kids that play this game, and they complain about every single little tiny bad thing even if there are 10 pros and 1 con. Also, this is definitely not accurate. I’ve literally seen these mechs destroy chargers and titans, in the gate defense missions with this mech it literally makes it infinitely easier to hold the gates.

What a crock of shit, whoever wrote this just sucks at the game, they’re embellishing everything for some reason. Maybe they have a chip on their shoulder against the developers. Stop playing the game if all it does is make you angry, those of use that love the game will continue to appreciate their constant updates and toys to play with.

Matter of fact this post just made me want to play around, see you on the battlefield.

Are the number of shots required to kill the enemies outlined in the article incorrect?

I haven't tested it myself but this is a snippet from the article.

"Kills Bile Titans to the head in around 40-45 shots (Way more than the autocannon sentry for some stupid reason)
Kills Chargers to the head in 10 shots
Kills Chargers to the leg in 8 shots
Kills Bile Spewers in 4 shots
Kills Brood Commanders in 2-4 shots to the head"

Some support weapons can one-shot those enemies and I believe the argument is that the mech should be more powerful than it appears.

I personally think it is about using the right weapon for each faction. This new mech is more effective against the automatons while the first mech is stronger against the terminids.

The new mech is really good against bugs

So yes I think this was basically revealed yesterday. So apparently (and mind you HD lore is really quite dark) they have Illuminate blood stored from the first war that will be used as a super weapon to destroy an entire planet. The bug blood, BTW, is also used by Super Earth to power FTL travel.

Can't wait to experience the last stand of the super bug colony. And then face the Illuminate.
