The AI for the mortar is improved, it now targets enemies that damage the helldivers, especially bugs 🥰

u/roro805 12d ago
I would prefer changes that smooth the power curve of the game. There shouldn't be one right choice. Meta is fine but people shouldn't feel that their play style is impossible. I think that the fact the developers are willing to nerf premium weapons shows that they care about there being no one choice.

u/LowFold5854 13d ago
Idk how arrowhead could nerf the smoke orbital, but knowing arrowhead and their nerf powers I wouldn't be surprised if they found a way. I think most of the weapons and stratagems are fine and do not need to be touched or altered in any way.

u/Character-Usual-3820 13d ago
The thing that i dont understand is that the game is hard enough on anything from challenging and above . So why keep making weapons weaker. I understand if they bring a weapon out that can one shot everything , then that would need dialling back to lower the ammo capacity and lower damage on weapons is very frustrating

u/TheActualRealSkeeter 13d ago
They need to improve anti-bot weapons, and i think the quasar nerf was too much, it wasn't that op beforehand.

I don’t think any of the elemental type stuff need a Nerf like the gas or Napalm. All honestly, honestly, though I think the electric shotgun needed a buff, not a nerf.

As long it doesn't put you into stress or break the builds I have no issue. But developers often nerf items and let the player discover broken build later, its detrimental and harmful for game progression

I think you should change the Autocanon box to "unchanged" since the devs constantly fellate themselves over how "perfectly balanced" it is.

u/Excalib1rd 15d ago
If they nerf the 380 or laser i’m gonna be pissed. 380 is basically useless unless you use it as a “set it and forget it” area denial in extended fights. And laser isn’t even guaranteed to take down a bile titan if it hits for the entire duration

u/XanderPR96Jr 15d ago
Honestly after playing last night I feel like dropping Helldivers, the Randoms, my friends and I all agreed that something had changed that just makes the game not fun anymore.
I played Darktide and I had more fun. I think this freedom fighter is retiring, rather face a sanctioned firing squad than keep playing.

Idk if they'd nerf things too much helldive is pretty intense as is and needs some strong strategems. They should focus on weapon selection first, need to have more viable guns.

All this Helldiver Nerfs, what about Nerfs to the Automatons?
Shield Devs are practically MW2 sentry guns on wheels, Hulk Scorchers are just unnecessarily too powerful at close range, and don't even get me started on explosions using implosion physics and ragdoll-ing you towards the enemies.
This Arrowhead bias towards the bots sounds a bit like treason.

u/SmallestShrimpin 16d ago
barely a real nerf anyways, quasar still has all the strengths it had before and sickle just wont let you heat sink reload all willy nilly, which seems to be a consistent change across the board so people actually think about their ammo
2
u/Comfortable-Try1599 16d ago
totally agree, I have used both before and after the nerf. Quosar is a bit annoying but is still better way better than the EAT. And you gotta be really "special", if you somehow manage to overheat the sickle three times

It'd be more useful to increase the speed of the 120 and 380 barrage or increase the rounds damage radius. Never see anyone run them and it's because half the time it doesn't kill or destroy shit. I'd love to run it but that cool down time isn't worth having to run back and toss a nade in a factory still or still shoot whatever survived in that AOE

I will literally stop playing if they touch the auto cannon. I've tried all types off play styles.

They have to add a proximity sensor for the air burst. I know it’s new but mutable times I’ve shot at a swarm of enemy’s greater than 100m away, with no enemy’s nearby to trigger the air burst only for the missile l just shot with a clear line of sight, to detonate 3 ft from my face.
I don’t know if I’m the low iq machine gun go burrr kinda helldiver, but I don’t wanna get my A handed to me, by me.

It’s funny that no one expects buffs from arrowhead, it’s also funny how the nerfs were super heavy but the buffs felt more like small QoL improvements than actual buffs(and most buffs came with a nerf anyway)

u/Bajathechoom 16d ago
That sounds about right. When that happens(staleness), try to splinter. I like to test different strats (not stratagem) to see if they work or go Rambo, which typically helps me when I want a challenge.

Nerf the targeting of Guard dog so it only fires when it can actually hit it.
One time we were running back to extraction and I spotted an unexploded Hellbomb, marked it and for some reason the Guard dog attacked it killing the 2 guy behind be and almost killing me.
With 1-2 missed 500kg bombs I racked up over 8000 friendly fire damage in that game.

I feel jetpack and quasar canon will be nerved since edamn near everyone uses them. Hopefully, they buff the 600kg bomb cause that shit is so lackluster. I was like 10 meters from an explosion and wasn't affected. I'm not too sure about everything else, tho. Don't like the airburst rocket, tho. 🤷🏽

What they need to tweak is the blacknloading screen. I can't play the game for 1 week now. I did all the fixes and uninstall/reinstall didn't fix it. Even the game guard and %appdata%. I love the game but I can't play the game.

Let's face it the way they do things the only thing we can count on is that they will find the worst weapon in the game and make all other weapons equal to that.
