"Recoil has been reduced quite a lot on laser weapons."
"Yeah, we removed it."

[spartaninvirginia]

"we're not nerfing the sickle, we're bringing the assault rifles up".

Guys, I think they listened and learned.

[swittens]

In the midst of "It's so Over", I found there was inside me an unbreakable "We're so Back"

[ksalieri]

It's so refreshing to go into an update with the idea of "What weapons will be fun to use?" instead of "Okay, which weapon doesn't suck?"

[gravityawsome]

"Honey!!"

"Where's my Super Suit?!?

[guts]

General Brasch took it upon himself to recommission all Helldiver gear with his bare hands after the decline in QA at Super Earth.

[redrus]

"We've lowered armor on chargers belly, so you can kill in the belly, if you found it on the rock"
*clip of a charger standing on top of a monolith*
Classic.

[RyuShinkuuHadoken]

It is a magical experience like when your parents finally listen to you but more rewarding.

[Planterobeets]

The thermite grenades' damage from 100 to 2000 is just... Beautiful

[ammox]

"Big booms should boom big" is probably the best thing ever put into patch notes.

[Legendary_Virgo]

"People keep asking if I'm back, and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.”

[combomaster]

Automaton sees 4 Hellpods racing down the sky :
-Why do I hear boss music ?

[RadicalEdward]

This is the REAL Escalation of Freedom update! 🦅

[Waltzyy]

SWEET LIBERTY WE'RE SO FUCKING BACK

[framination]

From 15k average to 50k average, We're so back.

[noahnemec]

In that interview, I can almost GARUNTEE a lot of those buffs were going to come with the weapon upgrade system like in HD1 but the devs were like “oh shit. We need to push these buffs out NOW or we’re not gonna have any players to present this to.”

“We had a drum mag lying around, we put a duckbill choke on the shotgun, the lasers now ignite faster” sounds almost identical to the kinds of upgrades you’d see in HD1

So they just fast tracked the upgrade system and said they were buffs. Which honestly I’m not too unhappy about.

[DogsInClogs]

I think the reception to this patch really just proves how much people actually want this game to be good

[artheus]

A friendly reminder to all that this is only the 30 day part of their 60 day commitment.
Your voices DO matter helldivers, so be sure to let them know your thoughts and opinions. Liberty guide you.

[bryanr]

“So the rail gun didn’t do a lot of damage to large enemies, so yeah we kinda quadrupled that..”

We are so back
