Arrowhead Game Studios has been building anticipation for the upcoming patch for Helldivers 2, promising buffs to various weapons and gadgets, as well as nerfs to certain enemies. Rocket Devastators, the formidable Automatons armed with rocket launchers, are getting a nerf in the form of limited ammo. They can now only fire three bursts of rockets before needing to reload, a welcome change for players facing these tough foes.
In addition to the limited ammo, the collision of the rockets has been reduced by 80%, making them easier to dodge. This change, along with similar nerfs to the Gunship, means that players can wait for these enemies to empty their clips before attacking, giving them an advantage in combat.
Game director Johan Pilestedt and design director Niklas Malmborg have been sharing details about the patch through short videos, revealing that the Breaker shotgun, Railgun, and Flamethrower will all receive buffs. These improvements will likely enhance gameplay and provide players with more effective tools to combat the alien threats in the game.
With these changes in place, players will need to adapt their strategies and take advantage of the new features to succeed in their missions. Whether it’s utilizing the limited ammo of the Rocket Devastators to their advantage or making use of the buffs to the Breaker shotgun and other weapons, Helldivers 2 players will have plenty to explore and experiment with in the upcoming patch.
Overall, the patch promises to bring a fresh and exciting experience to Helldivers 2 players, with a balance of buffs and nerfs that aim to enhance gameplay and challenge players in new ways. As the update rolls out on September 17, players can look forward to testing out the changes and discovering how they can use them to their advantage in the ongoing fight for Super Earth.
