Helldivers 2 Patch 01.000.100 Brings First Major Balance Pass

ESTNN Writes: "Today we get the first major patch of Helldivers 2. The first major change is that more planetary hazards will be active across different planets, a nice way to scale up the difficulty of the game. Next up, we get changes to the eradicate mission format, which is getting slightly harder. However, the dev team notes this change puts the missions more in line with its original intention."

Ok I gave in today and bought it. It's not bad. If my friends were in PS5 we would probably play it. It's not perfect but definitely a solid 8.5, which to me is high since 9 is top score and I feel no game is a 10 (except maybe GTA but that's probably gonna anger people lol)

I'm glad it has cross play because majority of my friends plays on PC

In no hurry to buy it since I have no friends to play online with

The randoms have been friendly so far, minutes a few that love team killing.

I think it's worth a shot. What lured me in is the persistent team based world defense, causing players to attack similar goals and jobs work together

“Eradicate missions now require more kills and enemies spawn more often. The time to complete the mission was previously shorter than intended and should now usually take twice as long to complete.”

Hmm. Twice as long might be a little *too* long. Fortunately I’ve got my plat so I’m done grinding eradicate for samples and/or trophies.

The railgun became useless. Missions became harder, especially the extraction sequence, because now 10 million chargers are attacking while your all-new Railgun bullets just bounce off the chargers armor.

Also the meteor showers you have to worry about now during the hordes of enemies coming to attack you

Take off the safety and train yourself to charge it close to 95%. It should take 3 shots to remove the armor. It's not that bad.

They patched it, and the railgun is a good weapon again. Not as great as the original, but still useful.

The illuminates have been coming since the game released and I'm already bored with the faction.

If people keep giving up on the Dark Fluid missions, then we’ll never even manage to blow up Meridia…

No irreversible destruction = No alien attention

It’s doable just need to use stuff we normally don’t use as much. Spawn points could be better but not impossible

The arc thrower is my go-to to keep them off the drill.

StormSnooper21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope they make the illuminate a little less apple iPod and a little more Protos-like .

In the OG Helldivers, I sometimes felt like I’m shooting at Apple products.
