#Helldivers 2’s most useful weapon has created a irritating drawback – Destructoid

Helldivers 2 followers are fairly pleased with the sport following the discharge of its 60-day replace. Each buff and alter feels stable. Nonetheless, the huge enchancment in gameplay has meant that frustrations with one merchandise from the newest Warbond really feel greater than they really are.

The Chemical Brokers Warbond was launched in Helldivers 2 a number of days after the sport’s 60-day replace. It introduced with it a slew of chemical warfare-themed objects like armor that appears like a hazmat go well with, poisonous gas-based Stratagems, and a therapeutic sidearm known as the Stim Pistol. However this final merchandise, one that ought to assist gamers out in a pinch, has grow to be a slight supply of frustration throughout the neighborhood. What ought to be a life-saver is certainly a meme at this level.

Stims solely work in the event that they hit

The Stim Pistol will present a Helldiver with sufficient of a therapeutic enhance to outlive their subsequent hit. Offered the subsequent hit isn’t a Charger operating them down or a misplaced Eagle 500KG Bomb. Nonetheless, the therapeutic a Helldiver is attempting to supply their teammates gained’t work in any respect if they will’t land the shot, and that’s the hardest factor to do with this sidearm.

The issue is that it feels unimaginable to land a shot with the Stim Pistol. You could be in first particular person, aiming down sights, and have a Helldiver operating proper at you, however you’ll nonetheless miss. It’s positively potential to land pictures as a result of I’ve seen gamers within the post-mission screens peppered with darts, however I don’t know how these darts discovered their mark.

In the event you’ve picked up the Warbond and are attempting it out for your self, you’ll know precisely what I’m speaking about. In the event you’re ready to choose it up later, all it’s essential to do is take one have a look at the Helldivers 2 subreddit to know what’s happening.

The Helldivers 2 neighborhood isn’t anxious in regards to the points with Stim Pistols, although. If this had occurred earlier than the 60-day replace was launched, it may need been the straw that broke the camel’s again. With such a slew of buffs making the sport as pleasing because it was upon launch, the Stim Pistol’s inaccuracy fades into the background.

I’ve little doubt that developer Arrowhead Sport Studios will repair the Stim Pistol in a future replace. However no one is that bothered about it proper now. We’ve been spoiled with impeccable gameplay, a brand new Warbond, and even implausible Superstore objects. The sport is in a fantastic place on the time of writing, and you’ll see that in the neighborhood’s response to weapon inaccuracy now in comparison with what it could have been only a week or so in the past.
