Helldivers 2 снова стала самой продаваемой игрой месяца на PlayStation 5 — Sony опубликовала мартовские чарты

Helldivers 2 продолжает привлекать большое количество новых игроков. Свежие чарты PlayStation Store, опубликованные Sony, показывают, что кооперативный шутер от Arrowhead Game Studios по итогам марта вновь стал самым продаваемым проектом на PlayStation 5 в Европе и Северной Америке.

Arrowhead knows how "ridiculous" Helldivers 2's fire damage is, working on a fix

Helldivers 2 players are getting frustrated by the game's overly zealous fire damage, but developer Arrowhead has promised a fix is in the works.

Earlier this month, as part of Helldivers 2's update that added in blizzards and sandstorms, the damage that fire caused also received a tweak. However, this particular tweak hasn't been well-received, as it's essentially causing players to die from fire damage in just seconds, which unsurprisingly annoyed a lot of players. Thankfully, it seems like a change is on the way, as in the game's official Discord, community manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson has assured players that the team is working on making fire not so overwhelming (thanks, PCGamesN).

"We're going through 'fire as a whole' at the moment," wrote Petersson in response to one Discord user. "The works - DPS, DOT, the host thingie, not dying in two seconds from just touching it etc. Probably introducing fixes in parts, but we're on it like Donkey Kong on barrels!" In a separate message to another user, Petersson went on to acknowledge how the fire damage is "ridiculous" writing that it's "at least wrong and something we’re changing… It's an elaborate process, so we’re doing it in parts. More info to follow."

The Helldivers 2 fire is getting so out of control that even Arrowhead thinks it is "ridiculous," with fixes on the way to make sure that fire tornadoes and Hulk flamethrowers don't absolutely decimate you in the briefest of moments.

Helldivers 2 dev warns of incoming change to its new Warbond

If you're planning to buy the new Helldivers 2 Warbond, be warned that one of its new unlocks is about to change. The Democratic Detonation Warbond is now live and available for purchase in the co-op space shooter, bringing all manner of high-explosive weaponry to help you blast your way through the bugs and bots. However, developer Arrowhead Game Studios notes that one of the body armors offered in the new Premium Warbond features the wrong passive perk, and warns players planning to buy it that it will be changing soon.
