I condensed the video for you: Update is NOT today, it's tomorrow, and will likely fix the infinite grenade exploit. Spear lockon aimed to be fixed in May. Hulk scorcher seems to change its damage on its own, likely due to fire damage changes as of recent. Eruptor will also be getting reworked to deal more direct damage but removing its shrapnel, so that players aren't OHKO'ed by the ricochet Hope this saves you 10 minutes! 😊

[@Aldritch9183]

The problem is that on difficulty level 9, breaches now consist of 2 or 3 holes at the same time, which means that for each breach at that difficulty, you have 1 titan guaranteed, which translates to 2 or 3 titans. And now, considering the bad luck of getting another titan from each hole, it means you could even have 6 titans at the same time, not counting those generated in hives and patrols xD.

When I played on difficulty 4 against the Automaton, I never saw a tank, whether I was playing solo or in a team of four. But today, I suddenly found myself surrounded by 3 tanks that seemed to spawn out of nowhere

[@ArheIy]

That's because AH have broken the formula for patrol and reinforcement spawns when going from exponential decrease to linear... Instead of 1/6 full team spawn like before the patch, or even 1/4 like is said in the patch note, a solo player gets almost the same amount of patrols like a full team. And the worst thing is that it somehow messed with reinforcements, so that's why instead of 1 tank you get 3.

Dev is just flat out lying about Chargers. I only play on 7/8 and despite 3 quasar users any time we set off a breech in a bug hole we were still getting hit with Chargers in the pit, Chargers in the breech, Chargers in patrols while dealing with the previous Chargers that had already spawned.

[@TheMTSilver]

I disagree. I think it's really fun (and funny) when you have 10+ chargers in a fight. Maybe they could be a bit more vulnerable to small arms fire though. Contrary to what that mod guy said, some of the heavy units are really hard to take down if you didn't happen to bring anti-tank weaponry. I'm in favour of adding weakspots.

@@TheMTSilver Very true. Would be fun if more weapons were effective at killing them. As the game is, this is not the case. Heavies get harder to kill and the weapons that kill them get weaker. At the same time, spawn rates go up. It is like they want us to not enjoy playing till everyone quits.

[@d.b.cooper5775]

I find it odd them saying that shrapnel did little damage yet it can one shot a player from decent distance. If it's such little damage why is it obliterating players.

[@louiesatterwhite3885]

You know the basic automaton units? The little soldier guys? Yeah, we have about as much health as they do

[@d.b.cooper5775]

@louiesatterwhite3885 precisely. A single piece of shrapnel will take out an enemy. Multiple pieces will destroy Multiple enemies. You have proved my point exactly. Also if we can't still one shot chargers with a back leg hit then we will know for sure that they were lying. We will see.

[@CryselleSilverwynd]

They did not say that the shrapnel pieces were super low damage, it's just that they're a low percentage of most player's eruptor DPS because the vast majority of shrapnel pieces do not hit anything. The few niche cases where the entire shrapnel package landed (like devastator armpit and charger back leg) will likely be weaker, but every other shot will be a bit stronger. I expect it will be a nerf to the people who were absolute pros with the weapon, and a buff to everyone else. I'm far more concerned with the explosion resistance buff on striders, because easy one-shots on them was actually the thing about the Eruptor that I felt pushed it into top tier.

[@Quintinius31]

Removing the shrapnels on the eruptor is a huuuuuge nerf. Could kill a dozen of trash mob per shot before. Not anymore

[@d.b.cooper5775]

@Quintinius31 I need to test it. People don't realise that when you had big overruns of multiple stacked enemy types the eruptor was doing crazy work. On the harder modes with randoms this would happen often. It's another scenario where all the shrapnel was effective.

[@DaemonPrince]

3:00 I've said it before ill say it again, it's the headshot mechanic against helldivers that's in the game causing instant death by flamethrowers. It causes the damage to increase by massive amounts and the flamethrower itself does deal high enough damage to 1 shot helldivers. I do agree instant death isnt a fun mechanic, easiest fix to the flamethrower issue and what would help againts heavy devesators is Arrow Head removing the crit headshot againts helldivers. It's the main reason why AH cant pin down the hulk problem, they cant reduce the fire damage enough to wear its a non-threat to make instant death not a thing. They would have disabled its ability to headshot but it appears to be ingrained into the actual system of the game so they cant disable it for 1 item yet.

[@shiznaztm476]

Ive posted this before and I agree with the Helldivers Dev on the Spear. Here's some of what I wrote a few weeks back on a post. I use the Spear extensively versus the bots. You need to be able to line of sight the "Targettable" location on things like fabricators. On fabricators, this location is the inside of the front-third of the building. Essentially, think of the Door as a 3D targeting location for the Spear. This can be seen from any angle, but walls, trees, turrets, anything will obstruct it. Low-ground is your worst enemy. You want to try and be on high ground when using the spear to avoid walls, lamp posts, hills, dirt mounds, fences and more. The Spear loves the desert maps, for example. The targetting **can** be very moody, I think of the targeting as checking from out-to-in. If its breaking when it gets small, SOMETHING small is in the way of the Line of Sight. Anything blocks it, basically anything. Avoid using it on jungle missions. Hopefully the fix makes it easy better, but I only have an issue maybe 1/5 missions.

[@TheMTSilver]

Aye the targetting reticle is the problem. It's so finicky. I swear sometimes I have an enemy in the centre of the reticle and the damn thing just refuses to lock on. Super frustrating.

Btw the grenade count seems to be stored in an unsigned 32 bit int. It is possible that this issue is caused by a conversation between data types from a signed number to an unsigned one. This is because of how numbers are represented in computers. If you convert even small negative numbers from signed to unsigned this would make the value appear very large.

yeah, im Level 44 and I already have seen everything, I have all the achievements all basic guns and 1 full "Premium" battle pass, so I just wait for new content, vehicles not trash guns new type of missions and so on and all those bugs in every third match, stupid balance changes just kill my interest

[@ceelentzpotter2110]

about the heavy spawn I can really confirm, it only about 3-4 of them for each breach

[@gogogusto]

Damn only 238k away from 1 Mil! Keep it up my friend!

[@bakon321]

I fucking LOVE that you love this game. You’re one of my favorite OW content creators. When I saw you do a lot of Helldivers content, I was super excited. Keep it up man.

[@panoctic]

so fenrir 3 has been liberated took along aas time. do we have enough time for the other 2 ?

[@TheArtfulNarrator]

Its wonderful to see you covering Helldivers 2 regularly. I have been a viewer of you channel for years during the time when I played a ton of Overwatch, but with that game suffering I dropped off from checking out your channel as often. Good to have a reason to watch you every week again. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@GOCAgent98]

You got a typo in your description "address weapon bugs" you typed saddress

[@JuneauGTW]

I promised my wife I wouldn't playl games on my laptop until I finish college. I graduate this Saturday, and I will begin Helldiving as soon as I get my first paycheck! I love the frequent Helldivers news, community updates, and research you are providing on this channel. If you keep making this content, I'll keep coming back!

[@jonathanngo7452]

Using Autocannon rounds on the little bugs is wild on that B roll footage

[@SgtRichardMcsqueeze]

heavies arent a problem for my team, its the 20 hunters that slow us and kill us before we can even react, not to mention the stalkers. but for bots, man ive had multtiple scorchers creep up completely silently and clear us all

[@xperience-evolution]

I usually have at least 2 Bile Titans and 4 chargers coming at me. At the moment it feels like an absolute mess. They have to be careful with these Updates. Especially with nerfing and buffing weapons right and left and up and down.

[@UraniumBandit]

The grenade glitch is our solace for the terrible update

[@mrg2155]

I am doing the glitch specifically because I’m so ornery

[@yokaidecincoienes]

About the stuttering, i just bought the game last week and was having a lot of fun with the game and then the patch came and made it impossible for me to play ever since. Hope it gets fixed.

[@TheSentinel909]

What's the skin you're useing? looks cool

[@benmiller200]

Does this mean the punisher plasma will stop going right through enemies?

[@highrulerdiamond6717]

Pissed off a random patrol 5 minutes in a match, 6 chargers and 3 titans from one encounter along with that booster that supposedly restricts them, yeah not buying that

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

That increases time between encounters, not the size of each encounter. But knowing Arrowhead, I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work at all.

[@highrulerdiamond6717]

@nocommentarygaming2644 seriously doesn't feel like it works, like it already is kinda vague on what encounters mean, does that mean like backups are on a longer cooldown if so I don't get why a random bot is shooting a flare as he got off the dropship like 30secs ago

[@nocommentarygaming2644]

@@highrulerdiamond6717 Yeah, I think there's such supposed to be a longer interval between when a bot can call in reinforcements, but I'm not sure if anyone has done any concrete testing on it.

[@daelgus]

Explain to me why when undetected, the entire bug map of patrols are b lining it strat to me in solo. I get pats move to noise and last spotted area but recently it doesn't even matter if you are 100 miles away from the last detect. They just keep heading toward you, getting annoyed fighting the entire map when extracting.

[@daelgus]

I'd add the bug the is occurring with the enemy is the patrol is no longer dropping pathing detection, it used to be they would head to you but when you lost detection they would wonder a bit before patrolling in a random direction, now if you drop detection, they continue to head to you, ie thier pathing is permanently locked to you, when it should not be.

[@griffiththechad9483]

I read this comment on another video but the devs themselves have stated that patrols will know exactly where you are when they spawn in and will beeline straight towards you. They implemented it cuz “fun” and because they don’t want you to be in one spot for a long time.

[@LordRazer3]

Wait you can use the plasma punisher with the personal shield? Owell good thing for me since I never use it. The supply pack serves the same purpose while also giving me ammo

[@0koppie0]

The way I read the upcoming Eruptor changes was that it would still have an AoE as it is meant to be an explosive weapon, It's just that the big bullet you fire won't be launching smaller bullets all around anymore (A.K.A the shrapnel)

[@KyloRenFO95]

Would love to see you do a load out spin the wheel, so all of your weopons, armour and strategems are randomised 🤟🏾

[@Dagoth_Ur_1]

The shield also has a big issue with some strategems like the hellbomb, getting stuck to the top of the sphere and landing on you.

[@mightypq1]

You guys are doing good work. Please keep it up.

[@imaninerrah3127]

I love the dev note for the grenade fix

[@mik0z474]

I like 12 titan more than 1000 hunters

[@demonfandango]

Dude. Loving the videos - appreciate them. Just one thing - when you put up a tweet or text please leave it on-screen long enough for us to read it. I know you generally read the whole tweet anyway but I always end up skipping back to read it myself and then listen to you talk about it, so it might just be a ME thing 😆 Keep up the good work.

[@rossalbane7743]

Remember a few updates ago where they said they fixed an issue where the patriot blew itself up when firing a rocket and turning? I swear the eruptor sniper did this to me earlier today. it only happened once but that’s just something I thought I’d bring up to see if it’s a replicatable incident or a one off

[@wusaint]

Stylosa I just wanna say thank you for pivoting from OW to Helldivers 2. Much like you, I've played OW for years but I'm so much happier playing Helldivers. And I'm so happy that one of my favorite content creators hopped on the bandwagon.

[@Phier554]

Getting One touched by a hulk last night I'm glad they're aware. I'm more concerned with my crashing issue suddenly usually near the mid to end point of emission about 20% of the time.

[@jacobstaude5139]

I really appreciate the devs of Helldivers they are so transparent with the community and I respect them not adding a lot of more team members when it released. Losing your job sucks 😞.

[@Vickolai]

6:36 I was bringing the new erupter but with all these changes I went back to the blitz electric shotgun, same with I went from the jump pack to the shoulder pack to now I just run autocannon.

[@Earthboundmike]

They did fix the grenade pistol coming with two shots though if you've the hellpod optimization.

[@ServoDestroyer]

Nade spamming is fun solo just to see how many bugs you can kill. Or last ditch effort waiting for the pelican to arrive and your destroyer has left and no more respawns and getting completely swarmed.

[@kameli_1880]

thank you for making thease great videos!

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Spear has worked fine for me, been using it for a month straight. The only downside with the spear is planets with smoke effects like acidic clouds or flash freezes which stop all lockons.

[@charliegnu]

That number of nades at the beginning is the max for a 32bit unsigned integer. The user was probably able to reduce 1 from zero and it wrapped around to max int. Pretty usual bug in C++.

[@biqqas7632]

Is there a damage reduction when diving?

[@bigwar73]

The spear has an arc to its missles that need to be accounted for, it doesn’t shoot straight out of the pod like an EAT I love the spear against bots

[@mikoolioful]

I feel like bile titans take more damage while spitting for some reason. I've tested this on solo. So having them spit at you might be a good thing. They also stop to spit, perfect time to drop a 500kg.

[@TheLooseHammer]

I don't know if the grenade glitch is fixed yet and when I get on I'll check

[@GibbzB]

Does Stylosa stream..?🧐

[@GreenStreetSlim]

Concerning the patrols, why wasnt this patrol spawn issue mentioned as a 'known issue' back when they were tweaking enemy spawns? I'm sorry but I smell BS concerning patrols. They are upset ppl are soloing higher difficulties and trying to mitigate it.

[@skuttlebutt3902]

My thoughts as well.

[@omnicrete7470]

Only problem I have with this update is the new stalkers being completely invisible besides having a visible shadow that’s completely gone at night allowing 3 or 4 of em to just jump you

[@Alpha00Fox]

1:48 have you considered that they were talking about the bot side? The drop ships have an excessive amount of heavy units consistently. Thinking that the problem is solved because they only stay on one side of the conflict isn't helpful.

[@forest-giant]

Ever since the latest patch I haven’t been able to play at all, I can’t join random games anymore and when I try to play with friends my game hard crashes 😢. Hopefully the hotfix gets me playing again.

[@tatooinestar]

Same

[@I3aMb00]

I am loving the infinite grenades meta though. It makes dealing with bugs trivial. I go in with a full Orbital and Eaglestrike load out to take care of heavies and maybe a shield generator. I only shoot my primary if the bugs get too close but other than that I am launching grenades everywhere

[@vincentdeluca4485]

Yeah heavies have felt great recently the spawning numbers os challenging but def manageable. Only time we have 4 chargers running around is when my team doesnt have anyone with AT weapons or anyone specialized in it

[@Crispy_DAWG]

I kinda noticed how little the heavy enemies do spawn and it kinda saddens me lol. I went 20 minutes without using my recoiless rifle up until extraction pretty much. But I guess it’s fine

[@Zurpanik]

That 4 billion number is just about the maximum value of an unsigned (no plus or minus) 32-bit integer after 11 grenade throws! That's pretty cool and weird!

[@mrg2155]

Does their data show I try stuff like the new “buffed Guard Dog” and the “buffed Laser Cannon” and then immediately shelve them for still being awful garbage? I just want to make sure they can really feel how awful their balancing can be

[@matthew5398]

The last few days on helldive, I still see multiple bile titans and multiple charges spawning at once, so I don't know about those changes.

[@BertieMAhern]

What do people think of incendiary grenades? Been using them on bugs since the new MO and i gotta say, pleasantly surprised. Also best grenade explosion animation hands down.

[@burntsausage8777]

i guess i'll have to start recording my games because 7-8 bile titans/chargers are a pretty regular occurrence on suicide missions.

[@ceepert2153]

We need modifiers that change enemy spaws. Instead of boring stuff like "1 less strategem slot" have stuff like "Bile Titan infestation" which increases the spawnrate of Titans by a bunch. Or the opposite where there are even fewer heavy enemies but spawns of all the small bugs has been increased like 3x (if the game and its engine can handle that)

[@gotyouchip1179]

Maybe I’m weird, but I’ve actually been really enjoying the breaker incendiary lately. With the extra burn DOT you can spray the hordes and watch them melt. I have noticed it doesn’t work as much in multiplayer because of the bug with fire damage. When it does work though, it cooks. It’s amazing at dealing with shriekers, if a single bullet in your spread hits the shrieker it will die from the burn. So you can just spray the sky with fire and wipe them all out.

[@MrSolus-ls6us]

You aren’t weird incendiary breaker has been my go to against bugs for weeks now and it will continue to do so. It is the best weapon for them in my opinion.

[@GameyManatee3]

If AH truly uses analytics to make sandbox changes, then I would love to see the analytics that influenced the questionable crossbow nerf.
