I Tested ALL The Nerfed and Buffed Weapons Helldivers 2 New Patch

The new update came with some great content updates, but we need to talk about the buffs and nerfs to the breaker incendiary, flamethrower, crossbow, slugger, and more. The primary weapon tierlist aint gonna look too hot this patch. #helldivers2

If the devs 4 manned a level 10 they'd never nerf a weapon again.

"You now get four grenades back for the grenade pistol."
Sweet! 4+4=8! It's perfe-
"We lowered the capacity to 6."
. . . that's just so obnoxious, man. Kinda just encapsulates the vibe of all the balance changes.

So flamethrower doesn't cook Chargers anymore? That's a big nerf!

[jabuga]

WOW my favourite thing in the game was to torch chargers and kill them fast with the flamethrower and now they release a fire themed warbond then kill the most efficient fire weapon. FANTASTIC

[WolfOfItaly]

So nobody noticed but in the Issues section.. The rover is supposed to overheat.. once thats fixed you will see alot more down time of it firing.

[AndJusticeforAll]

Why would I be excited for the fire resistant armor when you just nerfed the best fire weapon? These devs are on some crack I swear.

[denodagor]

My problem isn't even the nerfs, its the fact we get barely any buffs. I'm bored of the same weapons.
But yeah, I was expecting them to at least buff the flamethrower if they were going to fix this bug.... not just gut it.

[Bakemer]

OK but WHY RELEASE the primary if its going to kill your most popular bug support weapon? They're creating their own problems and im like, fix your weapons first before you release new weapons that make your old weapons fucking useless?
"We aren't nerfing fun anymore" - Fucking flat out lie.

[Olddata]

I don't understand the dev, they make many buff for the flamethrower because nobody use it at the beginning of hd 2, and, after players start to enjoy this weapon, they nerf it...

[APerson]

RIP Flamethrower... and my samples. I just unlocked the 25% increased fire support damage ship upgrade 😢

[EMPtaticz]

Grinded for the 25% more fire damage and two days later they nerf fire, very cool.

[glawfpv]

So instead of one good flame thrower, we get 3 bad ones? I'd love to know what the devs are smoking.

[Cheshirek]

Good guns nerfed again, bad guns remain bad. A possible solution to the flamethrowers is to give the support one heavy pen, primary medium pen and secondary light pen.

[vengeagrippa]

My thing with the flamethrower is what was the whole point of giving fire weapons a huge buff a few months ago. Giving us an entire ship module to grind samples for to buff fire damage even more. Then having to wait a couple months or so for them to fix DOT damage since that wasn’t working properly. To now having them just nerf the flamethrower, lol. Totally don’t understand it. But I guess they have to figure out a way for the new war bond weapons to be viable since you’re already double dipping in weapons that perform in the same function. Already having two fire weapons before the nerf that were really good at what they’re intended to do. The breaker incendiary ammo reduction doesn’t make sense either. I don’t understand the logic behind taking ammo away from guns in a horde shooter, lol. Devs acting like we’re playing a survival horror game or something.

[EP]

man, we have plenty of ammo on the incendiary breaker -the devs that play level 5.

"Don't let the nerfs ruin your fun"

That's the neat part, it does.
A lot.

[IntrusiveThot]

Pilestedt: "oh, we meant lowering enemy TTK *against players*. Helldivers were too durable." 😂

[xxfrostxx]

Yeah. Don't let the flamethrrower nerfs ruin your fun this patch. Let it ruin your fun in the LITERAL FLAMETHROWER WARBOND IN TWO DAYS. These guys can't get out of their own way.
Also, they have listed the fact that the laser guard dog doesn't overheat as a "known issue". So that is on borrowed time as well. I'm about done with this game.

[harrisonrg]

arrowhead logic “the pick rate on this gun is too high nerf it.”

community moves on to a new gun.

arrowhead “now the pick rate on this gun is too high nerf it”

a endless loop that is killing this game.
