There’s been loads of dialogue round weapon balancing in Helldivers 2 over the previous few weeks, so it ought to come as no shock that Arrowhead has targeted in on that with April 29’s 01.000.3000 replace. Try the total patch notes to be taught what’s been tweaked.

In whole, 21 Helldivers 2 weapons have obtained steadiness adjustments on this patch, with the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow adjusted probably the most. On prime of that, two Stratagems have additionally been addressed, with the Machinegun Sentry and Tesla Tower each receiving buffs.

All in all, none of those balancing adjustments are too monumental in my view, however they appear to be they’ll deliver extra choices into the meta which is all the time welcome. The one factor I did suppose, nevertheless, was that I’m glad I didn’t purchase the Democratic Detonation Warbond with the R-36 Eruptor in it, because it’s been nerfed lower than a month after it was launched.

Personally, I’m most excited concerning the sheer variety of bug fixes addressed on this patch, particularly these round crashes that I’ve been scuffling with just lately. I used to be crashing fairly recurrently after the mission outcomes display, which was actually annoying, so I’m glad that Arrowhead has mounted it.
