This Is A BRUTAL Change! Helldivers 2 NERFS And A NEW Update...

There's no way around it...I F**ked Up!
Here's the latest in Helldivers 2 News!
I completely screwed up when field testing the Eruptor yesterday morning. After testing the most current version, I can confirm that it has been nerfed badly. There seems to be an internal studio struggle between using stratagems and primaries. We got another New Update aimed at handling some new crash issues. Spitz seems to be gone at Arrowhead, and I have some thoughts on the situation.
Thanks again for all your awesome support!

HELLDIVERS™ 2 is a 3rd person squad-based shooter that sees the elite forces of the Helldivers battling to win an intergalactic struggle to rid the galaxy of the rising alien threats. From a 3rd person perspective, players use a variety of weapons (pistols, machine guns, flamethrowers) and stratagems (turrets, airstrikes, etc.) to shoot and kill the alien threats. Players can also aim down the sights for a more accurate 1st person camera view. Combat is accompanied by frequent sprays of blood and dismemberment as players exterminate the alien forces or players and squad mates are hit by environmental explosions or friendly fire. Enemy encampments and battlefield environments depict bloodstains and dismembered corpses.

The Alexus guy "Bringer of Balance" destroyed the game Hello Neighbor 2 by removing key features and then bailed before the release. Had I known he was in charge of balance I would have waited to purchase HD2. He is a real problem to Arrowhead's credibility and reputation. Just google what he did to the game Hello Neighbor 2 and you'll see why this is a problem.

I had no idea it was the same guy until yesterday. The game is absolutely doomed with this person in charge of balancing who has a notorious reputation for not listening to the players and consistently making unwanted and unnecessary changes until the community evaporates. Helldivers, don't let them do it to this game too.

New Major Order: Acquire new balance officers.

Edit: Spelling

Said it before and it's worth repeating: The change from Top down "God View" of HD1 to 3rd/1st Person view in HD2 brings the player in to a much more visceral, engaged and intimate relationship with the weapons we are using moment to moment. In God View, basically every form of damage you do is "move mouse cursor to this part of screen, left click, apply damage". Regardless of source, gun, strategem, etc. It may still look cool, but you aren't feeling the rumble and thump and muzzle-flashes of ordinance spitting out of your weapon like in 1st/3rd person.

In 1st/3rd Person view you FEEL the heart-wrenching 'click click' of an empty mag, you despair when your last few rounds seem to have no effect on an onrushing horde, and you definintely feel the adrenaline rush when you pull the trigger and a big multi-legged creepy crawly turns to goo in front of your face.

Strategems are nice. Cool effects. But they are like 'magic spells'. We cast them and passively wait and watch the fireworks. It's the Guns! The guns are what we live and die with second to second. Primary, Secondary, Support, makes no difference. When we pull the trigger they have to work and be fun and effective. Because when they aren't we feel it much more keenly then when we are just a floating eye in space watching those silly little avatars get pounced on for the umpteenth time.

So no, Arrowhead, Primary weapons are not just "the default gun you spawn with". They are what we spend the most time with when spreading Democracy and they need to be awesome as much as possible in their chosen niche/role.

[maximum_effort]

What I liked most about the Eruptor is that it gave me a reason to use the Stelwart/Machine Gun

[bugtastic]

"We want you to use your primary for the little guys and use more Stratagems for the big guys."
"All my orbitals are on cooldown and I've got 6 Bile Titans chasing me down. I need an effective weapon."

[vampirenessis]

Devs "use primary for chaff enemies!"
Also devs "lover mag count and damage on primarys"

[jonahd]

can we try having someone else in charge of the weapon balancing? lol

[icata]

Guys hear me out, 4 people blinking flishlights at bile titans will give it a seizure and it will collapse and die!

[emperornero]

Idk what they expect us to do with stratagems when there's six bile titans and four chargers

[Bionimetic]

Really dislike how they nerfed it 2 days before the next warbond

[popnstoff]

I’ve never had a game change so many little things every update to where I feel like I will never know what the gun in my hands actually does I work ALOT so when I finally get a chance to play I want to use the guns I’m having FUN with but every time I’m on there’s nerfs and buffs making my loadout useless again or they break the game again and I crash again. I’m an easy man to please give me big booms and powerful guns don’t change things I’m facing ai trust me the bugs and robots will not email you complaints about how my guns are unfair.

[Donkerbb]

All these weapons nerfs just don't feel good, especially when we save supercredits to buy each and every one of these warbonds that end up having most their weapons nerfed into the ground.

[ChrisMHilton]

The balance changes feel especially bad when people PAY REAL MONEY for something they thought was cool, only to have the properties of the weapon fundamentally change. That's what has happened to the Eruptor. And to their note about "using stratagems for the big guys", they have stratagems for small guys as well. If the player wants to being a primary for big things and stratagems for small things, that should be up to them. Why limit the play styles if it works, just because it wasn't what you intended? If it's fun and interesting, it's good.

[KylewithaK]

Ok so when they say to just use stratagems, we can all hide behind rocks and wait 1-5 minutes. They should just make missions 3 hours long then.

[Jaedeok]

That reply saying the Eruptor is better off with lower consistant damage tells me that they need to revert the ammo changes they made first off. Secondly it isnt doing the kind of damage that that magazine size and reload time is supporting. You have to give us something here.

[geronimo]

The more I see them balance the game. The more Im convinced the original minds behind the weapons have been replaced. They keep completely revising the weapons every time after release. Despite having them ready to go for release for years now. All this content was made ages ago to be drip fed to us and everyone of them is janky from the start.

[mattmnx]

I'm just totally done with the anti-fun balance methodology. I was on my way back in after all the Sony politics but nah, hard pass.

[alecmaler]

There sure are a bunch of nerfs to weapons in a game that has no PvP.
I still want my railgun back, it was so much fun at first but now its damn near useless

[Rockforce]

Calling it an exploit to be able to shoot the ground under a charger ass kinda tells me all I need to know about their philosophy lol

[devinedictatorshipgaming]

Yeah the devs not looking at what weapons do. they stated primarys are suppossed to be weak yet we have support weapons that are just as weak.
