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.

Не только Concord: Sony потерпела неудачу с половиной своих сервисных игр для PlayStation 5

Планы Sony по развитию направления сервисных тайтлов пока далеки от успешной реализации. Из всех известных игр, вышедших или находившихся в разработке, более половины оказались провалом или были отменены.

Following Arrowhead's update announcement, PlayStation asks Helldivers 2 players how they feel about the game, cue "over 5,000 responses" in less than an hour

It'd seem people still have plenty of passionate thoughts about Helldivers 2. That's not news to anyone who's been following the game's recent trajectory and the various back-and-forths between devs and playerbase, but it might surprise you that a survey about the game's pulled in "over 5,000 responses" in less than an hour during usual UK/EU working hours on a Monday.

This comes not long after Arrowhead shared an update on how its 60-day plan to improve the game is progressing, with the studio having used that opportunity last week to put a proper release date on its next big patch.

Earlier today, September 9, a survey was shared by Arrowhead to both Helldivers 2's Discord server and subreddit. It's not a huge thing, just a quick little questionnaire which first asks you to rate your in-game experience over the past week on a scale of one to five, then write what you are and aren't currently enjoying about it. Simple.

Not too long ago, Arrowhead dropped a vague list of improvements coming to Helldivers 2, as they admitted "inconsistencies" in their "approach to game balance and direction". They've now published another blog post that torches the vagueness of the previous post with the righteously democratic flames of specificity. Overhauls to enemies are on the way, less-loved guns will be more effective, reworks to armor penetration and health values are on the boil, and they're taking inspiration from "player fantasies" for certain weapons and stratagems. All of these tweaks are set to go live on the 17th September, so not long to wait.

Разработчики из Arrowhead Game Studios якобы слишком рано показали на глобальной карте Helldivers 2 новую "старую" фракцию - Иллюминатов. В студии назвали инцидент "ошибкой".
