HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

Helldivers 2's next big update is buffing the gun that's designed to be "like a sniper rifle on crack" so you can blast larger enemies to bits

Helldivers 2's upcoming patch will be bringing with it some pretty beefy buffs to the RS-422 railgun, with Arrowhead having slid the weapon's damage numbers upwards in its efforts to deliver the kind of fun that the game's community has been asking for.

The studio is offering little snippets of the notes for Patch 01.001.007 at the moment, building on what it shared in last week's blog post and building up to the update dropping on September 17.

Following up on revealing its plans in terms of buffing flamethrowers yesterday, Arrowhead's latest revceal concerns the railgun, which was a very popular weapon, especially early on in the game's lifespan when it was being used to take down armoured foes before being hit with an unpopular nerf.

Helldivers 2's community has been asking for buffs to flamethrowers rather than the kind of nerf that fire weapons got alongside the Escalation of Freedom update, and Arrowhead looks to be delivering just that, having now provided more info on just how it's gone about turning the in-game heat back up.

The studio gave us a brief glimpse into its plans for the update, now dubbed Patch 01.001.007, last week. "We are also working towards additional improvements for the flamethrower weapons," was all it wrote then, but here's some info on what exactly those improvements will look like.

"We've heard you loud and clear and Flamethrower damage is increased by 33%," Arrowhead wrote in the first of a string of posts providing more details about the patch in the run up to its arrival on September 17, "Flamer mechanics will be reverted to the state before the Escalation of Freedom update and flamebased weapons can now damage heavier enemies like Chargers, Bile Titans, Impalers and Hulks."

Sony решила провести опрос, чтобы узнать отношение пользователей к Helldivers 2. Компания предлагает описать свой опыт игры, ответив на несколько вопросов. После пяти тысяч заполненных анкет форма пропала с сайта. Модераторы Reddit сообщили, что скоро появятся другие опросы.

Helldivers 2's upcoming patch includes a fiery flamethrower buff

Arrowhead Game Studios is now a decent chunk of the way into its 60-day plan to get its co-op shooter Helldivers 2 back on track. While it soared to dizzying heights early in the year, it's now in something of a slump, but here's one small but significant piece of news about its upcoming balancing update that might tempt ex-Helldivers to come out of retirement. Flame weapons are receiving a generous buff, and they may even become better than they were before Helldivers 2's controversial Escalation of Freedom update.
