[Jan-oecc]

Anyone else experiencing many more crashes after the most recent patch? 😅

The capacity buff and the fact that you recover all of your ammo from a Resupply is insane, the Slugger was already my favorite weapon but it lacked in ammo, this changes things massively

[tunakann]

I like the detail that they changed the breakers magazine from a double stack mag to a single stack to reflect the update

[altzard]

I'm so happy the buffs applied to the slugger too, it feels so good now

[matthewm]

I really want them to add saved loadouts. Very surprising it’s not already a feature, unless I’m missing it

[InAVanByTheRivr]

Really sad all the assault rifles are not buffed. Even handling the automoton bigger double chainsaw armed enemies take multiple mags.... That alone puts them in trash tier. Assault rifles need to do at least 75 damage, and penetration damage needs to be adjusted. Currently its never worth it to factor in against raw damage.

[shaunflinn]

I don't mind most of the nerfs, what I don't enjoy are the meteor storms, getting killed out of nowhere after or during a big fight is not fun at all. And they happen very frequently

[Savior]

As the SAW gunner on my team, I already liked to rock the Punisher as a primary, since I could keep it topped off without wasting ammo, always ready to pull it out in a pinch or when assaulting nests. This change made me one happy camper.

[Citizen]

The spray and pray is literally the breaker incendiary minus the incendiary. There’s still no place for it imo

[TFFR]

"I like to keep this handy, for close encounters."
I also loved the Punisher while leveling up. I didn't think the Breaker was as fun, but it was a straight upgrade. Plus you never have to worry about wasting ammo if you panic reload with half a clip.

[BriggityBroocE]

Running armor with +2 Stims like the physician set with flame thrower and spray and pray vs the bugs was super fun tonight. More stims so when you inevitably step in your fire you can heal up, and the Spray and pray to pepper enemies on your team mates.

[ivanfranebijelic]

So I found some tech that makes the slugger and punisher essentially not have magazine capacity at all. You can reload inbetween shots without losing fire rate, it looks wonky and it's mashy, but you can pump out all 76 bullets without stopping for a single moment. This is probably carpal tunnel inducing on controller though

[Corzappy]

I used it before the buff and I noticed that the ammo was the biggest reason I wasn't enjoying it, but ask and you shall receive they gave it the extra 20 shells I wanted and now it slaps.

[Dream]

the sg-8 slugger has become my new weapon of choice, being able to punch through medium armour on a primary weapon is huge

[itsraventm]

slugger is my new main, i didnt see any mention of its buff in the patch notes but my god it feels SO good now that you have ammo to spare.

[GutsOfRivia]

I liked the punisher even before the buffs. Somthing about a pump action is more satsfying over auto shottys.

[Makarislethal]

After listening to HD2 content for a week. Im convinced this is a top 3 if not. #1 channel for rhe content.
Host doesnt sound or communicate like a weeb, flexibiliy in ideas. Not adherent to anything anyone else say.

Makes his own personal, yet informed opinions.

Hes clearly factual and not just try to be "out of meta for the sake of it "

Bragging about using ofd weapons pre meta etc

[equaltoreality]

Having tryed the Punisher, I have to say its one of my new favourite weapons. My only great that its still Shotguns which are the best, I would like an update to Marksman rilfes. just give them medium armour operation and I think they will do just fine.

[Yackattack]

Love how they “nerfed the meta weapons” but the breaker, rail, and shield are still more viable than what was buffed. Except the flame thrower. But that has a higher chance of team damage hazard than the railgun.

So good job Arrowhead I guess, you just made it harder to win the hardest difficulty and didn’t just say you wanted helldive to be absolute chaos and for making it out alive to be a 50/50 shot and luck and created a civil war.

Instead of making fun chaotic changes or even giving the community the stalwart as a primary or giving us automaton like blasters or Gatling guns. You catered to call of duty, warframe, destiny like pvp/pve competitive crap groups anyway after distancing yourselfs from pvp like games and all talk about preventing toxicity all over Twitter. That deserves an award. For most drama ever in 1 month of a games release and creating “toxicity” whatever the hell that means. It’s such a generalized, dismissive and industry buzz word that’s meant to target people.

I used the breaker for super samples and other than that I’ve used the pretty much everything a few times and stick with the liberator pen and the digligence. So if you just say “get good you shouldn’t need rail and breaker” I hope you slip and fall and crack something. Community was better when it was just TikTok’s of bros having fun. Now’s there’s this crap

[bekfistwolf]

I was already getting ready to swap to the slugger because of my preference for semi automatic and more precise weapons, the ammo increase was the final shove I needed
