Weapon improvements, enemy redesigns and more

It’s no exaggeration to say that Helldivers 2 is experiencing its most important moment since its launch. It’s been a disastrous summer for the game, so much so that it has lost many players and the spirits of its community have been at rock bottom. Numerous Supreme Orders have failed due to this situation. However, it seems that Arrowhead Game Studios has awakened from its slumber.

The study promised improvements for Helldivers 2

And here they are: a super update focused on increasing the firepower of our weapons, redesigning the armor and life system of enemies and improving various sections of the game such as the War Table.

[Para los Terminidos] We have reworked armor penetration, anti-tank weapons, enemy armor and health values. […] As for the mechs, we’ve also reduced the Hulks’ armor, making them more vulnerable to a wider range of weapons. Additionally, to improve gameplay, the Devastator and Gunship will now have a limited supply of rockets.

The patch notes are very long and We recommend you take a look at them

to see how your favorite loadout has improved. To summarize: we deal a lot more damage and take less damage, and enemies are weaker to our attacks. Almost all primary weapons, secondary weapons, and support stratagems receive increased damage, increased rounds per magazine, and/or reduced stats that penalize them like recoil. Stratagems also receive a nice damage boost.

Finally, the update includes a rework of gas behavior for the Chemical Agents War Bonus, requested improvements to the War Table and emote wheel, changes to make environmental factors (heat, cold…) more dynamic, and a fairly long list of bug fixes. Now it’s just a matter of testing how these changes work, but on paper they look very promising.
