PATCH 01.001.004

[joelfilho]

holy shit I know it was mediocre against bugs before but 2-shotting bile titans and factory striders is fucking insane

[derptomistic]

There will be many helldivers who will be put on the wall of martyrs with the reason simply "Charged too much" and it will be glorious

[dragonzzz]

I really hope the number of heavies is back up. It’s fun to have powerful weapons but if I’m only seeing a handful of bile titans in any given game (even on 10) then the one shot AT weapons and 2 shot support weapons are gonna feel kinda weird honestly. I was hoping for primary buffs more than massive support weapon buffs. Hopefully those will be coming with the patch as well.

[MadNitr]

I get the feeling like they are going to be buffing the crud out of everything and then adding the missing five levels of difficulty to where we end up in a situation similar to where we are now, but five layers of difficulty down the road

[ZERO-pcil]

Yeah, 2 shooting the factory strider really sounds like too much. Unless they're going to make them spawn like crazy.
Why I feel like this could be a trap to say we tried your way and it was to op. going back to our way.

[Southpaw_Blue]

Ahhh Eravin, you’re always there when I want the REAL insights into how everything’s going to play out. Best HD2 content creator in the mix.

[zinney]

This is exactly what I always imagined the "sniper rifle on crack" should be.

[literally_sillyy]

sounds fun

wouldnt be surprised if they ended up making unsafe riskier later down the road, like a faster charge to make it a higher risk, higher reward type weapon.

[AuronCommander]

The beloved recoilless rifle is doomed compared to this 😢😢😢

[moonshinetheleocat]

This is why I love you. You actually provide the numbers and do the math. Not just make an opinion and leave it at that

[fynii]

Arrowhead changing a weapon without making it way too weak or way too strong challenge (impossible)

[Ronasaur]

Gotta say Im scared of these balance changes. I worry its a glimpse at gross powercreep that will appear. I get people wanted more power fantasy.

I know people were upset but I was having a blast working with my team to create a balanced team. This seems like it will create an incentive for Meta loadouts and solo play even on the highest difficulties.

I hope Im wrong but these balance changes fill me with a haunting dread that the game will cease to be the squad shooter I love

[SpawWn]

I appreciate the changes but my fear is that this can possibly make AT weapons obsolete? Like why would you bring an EAT or RR if the railgun can one shot the charger’s head and two shot a bile titan’s head.

[Dng]

I always wanted and believed the power of the railgun should be more than something like the AMR, but this is ludicrous

[SheaButter]

Railgun gonna feel like a railgun again

[scott]

I get the railgun needed a buff, but this is ridiculous. The railgun should not be more effective than an EAT or quasar shot.

[ironboy]

uhhh they should probably walk that back a little, this is kinda too insane...

[PANCAKEMINEZZ]

I'm slightly worried AH is going to over correct. If they're planning on over uffinf with the intention of dialing it back slowly, I hope they are least make that known.

Because I want an earned power fantasy, not EDF. These changes for the RG sound kind of absurd. And I'd rather the game be easier and fun than ballsmackingly unfair, but we can find a middle ground.

I just hope AH knows what they're doing.

[MeterLP]

Did one of you use a monkey paw or angry genie to wish for buffs? Because this seems like "You wished for buffs, so now everything is so OP the game isnt fun anymore!"
We wanted buffs, but this seems a bit... much.
EDIT: Nevermind, the game is awesome again, its even more fun than at launch!

[phylippezimmermannpaquin]

I really hope the overbuff period wont last long. One of my favorite support weapons is now a free win gun
