Helldivers 2 is adding new content at lightning speed, but that’s exactly what fans are now criticizing.
The stability is increasingly breaking down and that is more than frustrating.
With this harsh statement, a Helldivers 2 player concludes his appeal to the Arrowhead development studio to finally tackle the major construction sites of the multiplayer shooter.
The core message of his Reddit post: The developers should take their time with new content and get the problems under control.
Damage effects and host status
I implore you: take the time to fix your growing list of known issues.
As you can see, there is certainly no lack of quotes-worthy statements in the post linked above.
The passionate author is primarily bothered by something that has existed for a long time Bug that penalizes all players who are not the host of a server session. Because only the host can deal the damage over time, which is important for many weapons, such as the powerful FLAM-40 flamethrower.
All other participants in a battle are staring down the barrel, which is all the more annoying since fire damage has only recently received a damage increase. Whoever is the host has a not exactly small advantage in the match.

Helldivers 2 shows where other shooters fail
Or to use the sarcastic words of the Reddit user again HelldiverSam to express:
Whoa, a new thermite grenade! It’s a shame that damage over time effects only work if you’re the host.
Wow, 25 percent more fire damage! It’s a shame that damage over time effects only work when you’re the host.
Other construction sites in his opinion: Inconsistent lightning weapons and storage containers that are supposed to replenish the ammunition of weapons, but sometimes simply don’t work.
Fans even like to wait longer for new content
Other fans also agree on Reddit. The tenor is the same: Arrowhead should take more time to patch bugs that have existed in the game since its release before providing users with further content.
Because this fact is also mentioned and praised: Despite all the displeasure about the problems that have not yet been resolved, many fans point out in the linked threads that that Arrowhead has constantly added new content – the so-called Warbonds – since the release of Helldivers 2 – so many, in fact, that many players are far from completing them.
It is therefore not surprising that many fans can safely wait some time until new content continues. Whether Arrowhead will respond to the demands and address the issues remains to be seen.
Helldivers 2 certainly has no shortage of new content. Just a few days ago, the hit shooter got a new mission type with a somewhat awkward name Evacuate High-Value Assets
which brings a pinch of tower defense into play. You can read more about this in the article linked above.
Do you play Helldivers 2 yourself and if so, do you agree with the criticism above? Or do you think the situation isn’t that bad and would rather have an uninterrupted supply of new content? Feel free to write us your opinion in the comments!
