GAME CHANGING Helldivers 2 UPGRADE - New Patch Makes Game FUN Again!

Line by Line we are going over the massive new Patch for Helldivers 2. To bring the "FUN" Back to the game the devs have reworked almost every weapon and Stratagem. The player count has already gone up from 5k to 100k in a day. Could this be enough to bring the masses back to Helldivers 2? Time will tell.
What do you think of the new patch? Let us know in the comments!

We are definitely not overpowered, the spawning is out of control lol, controller input lags/lack of input confirmation is up

[@lordvitae]

Precisely. I get so sick of having my favorite things getting nerfed because some useful idiot says this is op and then every one uses it and then it gets nuked.

[@Surfer_0x1]

The spawn rate definitely is the real challenge and how aggressive the hoards are, do not believe spawns were nerfed.

[@momqabt]

Spawns were reset. 4player spawns are the same. Solo play has ~1/6×4player

[@naterisawesome1]

I feel like that was kinda the problem. I feel like they should've at least looked at squads. Squads is bad ATM. Plenty of people agree Even for difficulty 5/6 with a full squad of 4 we should have enough tools/resources to be able to handle it but they just keep spawning and spawning

[@dapperdanman1832]

Preach brother diver I'm tired of the whining lol

[@quirinaled2752]

Yup 💯 . Now the whine is that there are more light/medium enemies. Like, did any of these moandivers actually read the patch or play with the improved strats and primaries? Loads of primaries are effective again or more effective than they were. The orbital Gatling is one of my go to strats now, particularly on bugs. Rockets are now a precision targeting weapon. The MG and Rocket sentries are highly effective. MG emplacement is great. Etc etc etc. Anyone crying about this game now will never be happy and frankly they should move on to games they enjoy, which I'm willing to bet is an n=0 fire many of them because what they actually enjoy is complaining. I'm not going to listen to people who clearly aren't playing this game constantly whining about it to farm likes here and on Reddit.

If I were to design a weap called the tenderiser, I'd give it medium fire rate, medium damage, burst fire only mode, and medium armour penetration, so using it feels like you're softening up and then destroying the armour on anything sub charger, in steady pulses. Like you're tenderising :D

The game may be fun, but the Sony country block and their downright awful discord mod behavior have kept me away from the game. If things improve how ever ... one can only hope.

[@Moodyman90]

With what's stated in the patch notes, only issues I have are of the "I don't like it, but I understand why it's like this." variety. First is the indirect nerf to the Pummeler by making larger enemies harder to stun, and the fact they haven't given the Eruptor it's shrapnel back. Hopefully we'll get a hotfix for some of the more pressing issues. I don't hate them taking a month for a big patch, but I'd rather two patches a month. One is the big content one (war bonds, other new content, balances and major bug fixes) and the other would be minor bug and general game issue fixes.

[@user-it3xy2cw1t]

Kinda agree that larger enemies should be stagger less by an smg or rifle It would make since for them to be staggered by bigger weapons As for eruptor, shrapnel would be cool but aleast now the eruptor is atleast b or c tier

We're not overpowered, stop saying that cuz the devs will nerf stuff again. Game is exactly how it should have been. 😁

[@Pr0digyZRX]

If you're worried about the patch making it "too easy" don't worry. Cause the patrolling gunships that run from 2 to 5 gunships that literally just fly around like they own the sky make thing really difficult when you have 2 factory striders 3 tanks 5 hulks 4 gunships and so many devastators you lose count of them and that's not even counting all the other chaf enemies running around or the big turret towers... or getting 2 detector towers in a 100 meter radius around a mortar emplacement which was also next to a double gunship facility... (this was my last mission btw) they absolutely didn't let it get too easy on helldive difficulty 😂but we got it done. Even destroyed all the side objectives (notice they were all hellbomb call in objectives) that may have been the most hectic mission of my helldiving career tbh

[@jeffpadilla9891]

Yeah when you hear drop ships now come 4 of them with one tank and factory strider.

[@quirinaled2752]

Yeah the flyer patrols are... interesting. Constantly dealing with large flocks of shriekers magically appearing from the map edge got a bit much after a while, particularly when we were regularly hitting large roaming packs of hunters that just randomly walked into a breach fight from the rear etc etc. Really hoping we're going to get some anti-air strats to reduce the nuisance value of flyers, though the MG sentry did seem to do some work with shriekers from what I saw.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

@quirinaled2752 yeah the shriekers are manageable as long as it's not a lot in a fight against everything else. I will say this though ive gotten a lot better about 2 tapping gunships with the autocannon lol

SEAF Artillary is tied to our armbands. Which would be jammed as well. If you are jammed you are jammed. I do like the change though, makes unlocking it a bit more rewarding. I think the rocket batteries should reduce the ship amount on drops. That would be great.

[@quirinaled2752]

It made no sense that the SEAF Artillery couldn't be used after Destroyer departure. And it's land based so I always thought of the jammer as affecting signals trying to reach Eagle One and Destroyer - why would artillery not work if you're calling it in to a known grid point or whatever? It's fine - gives you a tool that can help reduce the massive pain in the arse that the Strat Jammer can be.

Quit ya Yapping Guys, this update was HUGE step in the right direction. ARs are really good- (they were ok before too, i used Liberator, Default Pistol, normal grenades, default armor on HELLDIVES BEFORE THE PATCH) so quit yapping and whining. Use what you need to use and dont force others to make the game easier to the point people like me stop enjoying it for lack of challenge. Tested ARs and RIFLES Last night, they are REALLY good now. (Aim for the waist/Arms/Rocketpods of Devestators + Bodies of Chainsawguys) The Sentry Buff is extremely good, i used MG sentry, and my brother used Rocket, the combo is really good because the ammo+range for the Rockets and the quick cooldowns on the MG sentry are good combo for sustained combat. The Orbitals are SOOO SPAMMABLE NOW i like it, like a WALL of Gunfire from the sky one player can run (Gatling + Strafing + Airburst) its amazing coz they all refresh so quick and strafing has multiple uses per reaarm- ALSO U CAN KILL HULKS AND BUILDINGS AND DEVESTATORS soooo consistently now. (use it like u use eagles on a bug breach) The Machine gun emplacement is good now- the rotation actually saved my ass XD and its cooldown is pretty good too (Very nice to kill hulks and Devestators) Side note: ARs are probably gonna be better for bugs (because bugs bodies are considered durable body parts i think) They are NOT one gun beats all weapons. think of them as a last resort in a pinch. YOU ALWAYS want a stratagem or MG. but the ARs are much more usable now. havent tried the Disruptor + Crossbow yet. Side not number 2: DO NOT EXPECT TO FIGHT DEVESTATORS EFFECTIVELY WITH A AR. ITS NOT DESIGNED TO DO THAT- DEVESTATORS ARE MEANT TO Force u to bring out the big guns, or use Primary that CAN penetrate Medium armor. (JAR-5, Scortcher etc..) ARs are meant to kill CHAFF bots NOT medium. The Patriot mech is pretty good vs bots now! and aiming on the Emancipator is much more consistent! overall- i like the update- a bit buggy, and i dont know how i feel about heavy bugs being reduced... but it should get peoplee to use less Heavy AT strats. ANYWAY my two cents- have a good day. BYE

​@@mudslide-of-the-mudwing1569 Y'all use ARs?

[@fuzzjunky]

guys the AR's are barely ok at this point, i don't know if we're underpowered now but the hordes are behaving weirdly and it's gonna take me a few days to adjust. they certainly haven't made it "easier" anywhere that i can see yet.

[@blackstone777]

Git gud

[@brandondelcox8065]

They buffed the enemies, don’t care what anyone says. They spawn crazier troops and they rush you a lot more. I’m used to playing suicidal and I could barely last a round after the patch.

[@SaltyNerdGaming]

When you say “I” does that mean your are playing solo?

[@brandondelcox8065]

Not always but people are also constantly being dropped, me too. I won’t necessarily wait for a team. Usually people will start entering at some point if out a forty minute mission. The hulk fire is just barely less of a one shot, the jumpers are insane now on suicide, and the spawn rate has increased. I’m level 70 and always play on suicide. Dropped down to challenging last night just to get some medals.

[@294inLouisiana]

It’s too hard to play now. Guess I’ll be sitting this out till they nerf the spawn rate and hoards of spewers and chargers. Every mission has like three chargers coming at you at level 6. The charger maul is laid on real heavy now.

not to mention they introduce new type of bot patrols, GUNSHIPS lol

[@BGB1983]

Higher levels 7-9, likes of AR's are still pointless. AR's need bigger mags to make them more useable, come on in Aliens they had 100 round mags 🤣Had loads of issues though last night. Like not being able to see any of your friends in game and also the ship module to refill backpacks is broken again. With hordes now more spread across the map, need better primaries.

[@JacobKelley-vw1pw]

I've been enjoying the ARs and only play on difficulty 7-9, they're in a lot better spot than before. But the mag size is a huge downside with them, feels like I'm reloading constantly with them.

[@Solo11111]

[@OPTIMUMELITE]

[@Blakkrazor69]

Overpowered? What a joke. This is where the game should have started and gotten better from here. Eruptor is still a joke compared to what it was. Just because it slaps a little harder doesn't make it as great as it was when it released. Your armor choices from this Warbond are Light or Heavy, a knife as a grenade ffs, a Liberator with a higher rate of fire...da fuq, some skins and one good item; the Booster. AssHats of AH strike again.

[@quirinaled2752]

The Eruptor was broken in release due to an issue with the shrapnel mechanic. As per the patch notes this led to total damage ceiling being around the 3000 mark, which is how you could throw a single shot into a dropship and kill everything in it - multiple Devs and troopers would turn into trash - bar heavies. If you honestly think that's what the gun was intended to be you need a reality check. It was also boring (and often problematic) when every single 7+ mission I played had at least two, more often three, Eruptor/AC loadouts in it because no-one thought it might be an idea to y'know have something for close quarters fighting.

[@jimman-beard2167]

Overpowered???!!! Before they messed with the patrol spawns, I USED to be able to solo Suicide easily and was enjoying trying to work up from there to Helldive solo even Successfully finished main objectives but always failed to extract in Helldive a couple times.... Now I'm playing HARD!!!... HARD is What Suicide USED to be... Yeah I know I'm going to get the "Get good" comments... But it feels almost worse then after they messed with the patrols. Solo is still dead IMO, Its not fun to try Solo. Play with friends and even Helldive was ALWAYS TOO EASY!!!... Solo was my challenge, and its dead they need to actually FIX the patrols. They still spawn in too many or something... I just kill one Breach and they call in another or Shrinkers hit me or even worse those Robot gunships seem to spawn on top of me when I play the bots and one shot me with a volley of rockets or more often they ragdoll me and I'm unable to even control my character as they go flying in the air, to then get shoved into the ground to fly back up in to a Cliff to die (might as well put down my controller) ... What's AH problem with solo Helldivers? We are certainly not OP... I feel like a glass cannon without a cannon... Emphasis on the GLASS!

[@jeromearenas8028]

Mid patch for me, it introduce new set of bugs, like ballistic shield prone crouch bug, crashes, stuck at loading screen, and recurring ones like no reinforcement when whole squad dead. Other than new Map QoL, UI update, major bug fixes, Patch only offers balance changes, and no new non-warbond content like new biome sneak peaked at the trailer. This is a long over-due patch tbh, they should release the balance changes long time ago, before the new stuff.

[@sunakokirishiki3572]

NO WEAPON BUFF DID MUCH AT ALL

[@quirinaled2752]

Oh you played all of them before and after did you? Just to come here and give us your one line of genius? Or, more likely, you're just jumping on the negative bandwagon to shit on the game when you don't play it, like most of the idiots on here. Significant increases in damage are objective buffs, as are other things we saw in the patch. But you wouldn't know that because your just here - complaining about something you can't possibly have even playtested for yourself.

[@evilsanta7424]

This patch is a good start back towards becoming overpowered, but most things still need a buff, the AR's are still not worth using, give us an ar range nerf but make them all medium armour penetrating or something. Where is some fireproof/resistant armour? The new warbond is just a bit of glitter on a turd. Where is the OP original railgun? Good start but over powered? Nope not yet.

[@camooo101]

We need the game to be balanced, not us being overpowered. Game still needs work and it's still boring after 150hours.

[@evilsanta7424]

@camooo101 No, I want to be overpowered. I demand it. I want to be able to just point my finger at a Bile Titan in mid puke and have it instantly explode, so there.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

They literally said this patch would NOT fix everything... tf you talking about?

[@georgi1905]

They need to fix weapons again and strats, more buffs on the board..assault rifles they said they feel weak we need to buff them....procedes to do to nothing 😂 they still all weak ... aĺl assaults should have 40+in mags and double dps...to be usable again 😂

[@georgi1905]

Braker incendiary only legit gun,am sick of it

[@Pr0digyZRX]

@georgi1905 you're faded lol. Not every gun just destroys everything on the map. The ARs do what they're meant to do. We have ARs that can 2 tap devastators and hitting weak points can destroy hulks and tanks. But you're saying they're weak? The scorcher and dominator are both miles better than the breaker incendiary hands down and have been. I can play helldive with pretty much anything now and have no problems taking out anything. Just gotta know where to shoot an enemy and what armor penetration the gun you're using is. Obviously since most ARs are armor pen 1 they're only good against chaf... armor pen 2 is good against more but heavies will take more than any of the primary weapons. It's made to be like that. We're not supposed to be unstoppable. I've only seen a handful of people complaining about the patch. Like maybe 3 or 4 now. That should tell you a lot

[@quirinaled2752]

@georgi1905 Uh so many things you're wrong about I don't know where to start. Double fps? Every AR should have 40+ rounds? You're not playing the same game I boot up most nights. I only use breaker incendiary against bugs because it's just useless at long range engagements with bots that shoot back. Even then I can quite happily load up Pummeler or one of the ARs and do good work. See a medium group? That's what your secondary should be able to handle. Or just take the Jar, Scorcher or Plasma Pun. Honestly I think people should just go back to Fortnite or whatever if they want this game to turn into 'Shoots meganuke handgun. Map dies.'

[@locmorningstar2740]

Unpopular oppinion: E.A.T got big nerf on bug because it now need 2 head shoot to kill a bahamoth charger and if there is another normal charger, you're fucked.

[@quirinaled2752]

Why do you think it should be possible to kill an upgraded heavy with one shot from any weapon? Play with a secondary that'll help take them down or let your teammates do their job and assist you.
