Identical to in actual life, fireplace is lethal in Helldivers 2. Nevertheless, annoyed gamers have complained that it’s too lethal; one thing developer Arrowhead Sport Studios agrees with because it plans to introduces fixes for it.

Over on the Helldivers 2 Discord channel (as noticed by PCGamesN), Arrowhead’s group supervisor Twinbeard straight responded to criticisms about how fireplace works. It may be irritating sufficient each time a sudden fireplace twister randomly spawns and takes you out, besides a lot as touching an ember can rapidly kill you.

Twinbeard acknowledges that that is “ridiculous, or not less than improper,” which is why Arrowhead is trying over the hearth methods as an entire, together with “DPS (injury per second), DOT (injury over time), the host thingie, not dying in two secs from simply touching it, and so on.” Twinbeard couldn’t give an estimate for when such fixes will arrive, solely including they’ll be achieved “in elements,” which suggests the best way fireplace works is one thing that might be up to date over time reasonably than be fastened with a single patch.

Presumably, such fixes might be utilized to each the hearth tornadoes and the flamethrowers wielded by among the Automaton’s Hulk items. Whereas it’ll be good for these to be made much less devastating, Arrowhead doubtless gained’t nerf them an excessive amount of; fireplace nonetheless must pose some form of menace. A brand new armor sort that gives some fireplace resistance would make for a pleasant addition and be warmly acquired by gamers, however Twinbeard hasn’t talked about something about including new content material to counter fireplace injury.

Hopefully, these aforementioned fixes will arrive sooner reasonably than later, however Helldivers 2 at present has different points the studio is . The brand new Floor Breaker armour, for example, was added to the sport with the improper passive, and one of many new ship module upgrades isn’t working correctly both. Helldivers 2 has been affected by bugs and different such errors since launch, nevertheless it’s clearly doing one thing proper for it to stay extremely in style.
