The nerf to HMG is the MG206, not the Emplacement. And the nerfs it got was more than just a durable damage nerf, it got a nerf to the angle penetration and damage, which means you'll deal less damage if your shots land on certain spots/angles of the enemy (like OLD Recoilless/EAT used to deal less dmg at an angle), and sometimes even ricochet. Which is why you can barely get effective shots on Behemoth's and Bile Titan's head most of the times, and sometimes require more shots than needed on a lot of enemies. It's less about being weak, it's more about the MG206 being a lot more inconsistent now, which is really frustrating.

I personally wouldn't mind the durable damage nerf, but I REALLY hope they revert the "large angle damage/penetration" nerf. It's so frustrating to just have your shots bounce to space all the times, it makes the MG206 now being able to penetrate heavy armor somewhat redundant. Requiring 1-2 extra bullets on most enemies sometimes actually matters a lot for the MG206, when it only has 75 rounds/mag with only 3 mags in total, while needing to stationary reload.

Also it doesn't even make sense, because MG43 doesn't suffer this issue, compare the MG43 vs the MG206 shooting at Charger's butt now and MG206's shots just ricochet off a bunch, unlike the MG43, which has worse penetration.

The game is best it ever been. I played more the past week than the past 2 months

[MrPWN]

They buff good ol' Rover well enough to kill me 5x faster by hitting my shoulder and combusting my helldiver from 100-0 with fire DoT, meanwhile the normal GD is busy spraying it's small mag into a hiveguard and the Dog Breath is 500ft away from me aggressively febreezing one small bug for 5 min straight

[derkeve]

The station could be their plans for the test server stuff. Making it cannon as AH likes to do.

[idiotpenut]

God i hope they mention vehicles.
The mechs are nice but i want that LAV and ATV.

[JerichoDeath]

Maybe the space station could be a hub area with a gun range for testing weapons and effects.

[Szabjack]

Next major order is get kyber crystals for the space station.

[colpolryan]

I hope we get a player hub area, like tower in destiny with factions and small missions to lvl up and get skins or something, or like the relays in warframe.

[timeforthehammer]

I actually love the anti-tank mines in defense missions now. Wipes out all the big guys!

[Bakemer]

The laser canon not cooling down faster still feels gross. So that's pretty noticeable. Hoping it gets added on the next patch.

[CoryDAnimates]

The ammo guard dog has been amazing for several months. Since they buffed the liberator.

[GNZ-uolr]

This new space station is 100% related to the Illuminate, "Reshaping the galactic map"...This might help us to see beyond our borders...They are almost here...

[bryanwls]

Just a quick tip, do not put the screenshot of the patch notes at the top of the screen. Put it at the center as it is the focus of attention, not the background gameplay. It makes it easier to read, and when you pause the video to read, the title doesn't get in your way :)

[bignblackbx]

I've been using guard dog rover, eruptor and stalwart machine gun. Easy 300plus kills with just that only. Guard dog rover kills.

[Quintinius]

Las rover is just a scythe on a drone. It follows the same changes with the scythe
BUT it's currently bugged, it's supposed to overheat and go back to the backpack to cool. It use to do it at lauch but not anymore, it's also in the description
So prepare to see it nerfed even if it's technically a fix

[BostonKnick]

Have y’all tried the scorcher yet? Try the scorcher….new sounds, and visuals (probably doesn’t effect the overall gun but still looks and sounds great) also all these bugs are so aggressive and have a further reach when trying to strike you.

[YattaMagnus]

Quasar kills bot factories with 1 hit from any angle!

[Foxador]

Also, a lot of people are really really tired of all these hidden stealth nerfs that they always "forget" to upload or mention to the rest of us.

That's where a lot of the ire comes from in my opinion. If they were straight up and they mentioned it there'd be a lot better, but they don't and they sneak in and hide these changes and hope that no one notices. They only came out mentioning it now because a lot of people pull out the damage numbers and the test logs improved it. So now that they got caught they have to say something

[mrmeaty]

AH please give us Gas Bomb Hellpods so we can confuse the enemies as we land for safe escape!

[Shadow-sword]

I remember leaks for these stations long ago, and retrieving the blueprints on a major order, glad to see their be on the way
