Do you know that Helldivers 2 has a mission the place you get to lift the Tremendous Earth flag? I did, however I certain as liberty have not ever performed it. Not due to an absence of patriotism, you perceive, however as a result of it solely ever popped up at decrease difficulties.
That is modified now, amongst a bunch of different weapon tweaks, enemy adjustments, and steadiness fixes dropped within the humongous Patch 01.000.300 in the present day, which brings “numerous changes, fixes and enhancements to assist your democratic endeavours”.
For starters, burning harm has been nerfed by round 15% after having fun with a while within the limelight. Heavier armour ought to be a bit stronger, with scores above 100 decreasing the harm taken from headshots. Any experiences of “concussive accidents” from a rocket slamming into the facet of your dome are insurrectionist speak, and ought to be reported to your nearest democracy officer.
As for weapons, over 24 of them have been tweaked. I will not listing all of them till the tip of this text, however listed here are among the highlights for now:
- The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon has had its recharge time elevated by 5 seconds, which will be the dying of considered one of my favorite methods—placing one other cannon in your mate and utilizing it like a not-so-expendable anti-tank launcher on defence missions, since they recharge on the bottom.
- The LAS-98 Laser Cannon, which was already a cult favorite towards bots, has had some harm buffs.
- The LAS-16 Sickle has had its journal depend knocked down from 6 to three. Whilst a Sickle person, this looks like a wise approach to nerf it—it does not make the weapon much less efficient, it simply means it’s essential to be good about letting it quiet down.
- The RS-422 Railgun has had its armour penetration buffed barely in each Secure and Unsafe modes, which might herald its return. As a trade-off, its stagger drive is worse.
- The brand new new RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher should not blow you up almost as a lot anymore.
With regards to the enemies of democracy, Bile Spewers transfer slower, Hulks are more durable to stagger, and people pesky Automaton factories should not be flooding your skies with liberty-hating gunships as a lot. Most notably, enemy patrols will now be extra frequent with smaller get together sizes—although teams of 4 should not discover any adjustments: “The largest noticeable change might be for solo Gamers at increased difficulties.”
As for normal Gameplay enhancements, the “elevate the flag” missions will now spawn on increased difficulties. My consolation zone is problem seven (Suicide Mission) and I’ve seen a number of flag missions popping up on Terminid planets already. Arrowhead additionally has made “minor degree Technology enhancements to how we distribute places all through the mission map,” which “ought to enhance variation in distance between targets, and targets will possible not spawn as distant from one another as usually as earlier than.”
Moreover, your pictures that ricochet off heavily-armoured enemies “will now correctly hit the Helldiver who fired them.” I am certain it will by no means occur to me, essentially the most correct Helldiver within the universe (do not take a look at my mission stats, please. Simply let me have this).
A litany of fixes addressing crashes and glitches have additionally been launched, together with an “concern that allowed traitors to attempt to sabotage the extraction shuttle by deploying sentry stratagems under it.” Once more, they’re too quite a few to note right here, however I am most excited by the nerf to the native foliage, which have been a continuing thorn in my facet by blocking loads of my Sickle and Quasar Cannon pictures. Leaves are simply constructed completely different on alien worlds, I assume.
