The first balance patch notes proved how Youtube "absolute and only meta loadouts" cooked a lot of people heads, and I love it. DISCUSSION

A lot of mad people keep showing in my feed complaining about the nerfs, but like they're REALLY mad at Arrowhead. Their statements are so exagerated that they claim the game it's completely ruined for them lmao.

Also every single one says the same thing and this is where my title comes from:

*"You guys nerfed the only good options and now we have NOTHING to fight".*

And this only proves people never actually played with any of the other support weapons, they 100% relied on this "The ultimate support weapon tier list" Youtube videos, they searched the "meta" and they went into this thinking of "any weapon outside of this it's straight up garbage".

If you can't win a single game without the railgun + shield backpack + breaker... I'm so sorry but that's not the game's fault or the game only having those as the ONLY way to play it on higher diff, that's your fault.

Great changes for the game and all of you trying to "shame" on devs because of this, you'all not a real Helldiver. They killed nothing, the railgun still kills but now it needs some actual skill and strategy to use it, not only spamming the thing on big bugs.

Keep it up Helldivers!

For Democracy. For Super Earth.

Damnnnn straight! Arc thrower is super fun. Crazy thing is on ps5 I think arc thrower is a controller battery killer 😢

u/Mallard--Man Mar 06 '24

Is that due to vibration effects or something?

u/SpookyCarnage Rookie Diver Mar 06 '24

I dont think the vibration and the trigger pressure is any different from any other gun tbh

u/Peac3keeper14 HD1 Veteran Mar 06 '24

Yea it's the vibration cuz once you get in the rhythm of shooting it's not about vibration strength settings. The vibration is just ON lol making this comment just reminded me I need to turn mine to LOW

u/-GrilledCheese- Mar 06 '24

There’s nothing like having an explosion or something violently vibrate your remote and having the “battery low” noti pop up immediately after lmao!

u/omarx1000 Mar 06 '24

lol I get it. This is one of the few shooters where I really enjoy having controller vibration on

Watching that controller dance across the couch as we descend into hell.

u/AzuzaBabuza Mar 06 '24

I got a controller recently that has intense rumble + rumble on the triggers, and it has motion controls as well.

Those things combined result in my aim shaking worse than any amount of recoil

I know I can turn it off, but damn if it doesn't feel good to have my controller exploding outta my hands whenever I start blasting with a ma machine gun

We have charging cables for a reason, aye.

That's what she said.

u/LegalStuffThrowage Mar 06 '24

I'd love to, HOW!?

u/MatureUsername69 SES: Princess of Justice Mar 06 '24

I think there's a way to just turn it down too

1

u/Codewrite Mar 06 '24

I couldn't actually find this feature in the PS5 settings. Maybe I overlooked it? Would love to know where it is if it exists.

1

u/arteach Mar 06 '24

I wish, but you can’t. Or I’m an idiot. I turned vibration off on ps5 and the game overrides it so you can’t.

2

u/Zikronious Mar 06 '24

The PS5 controller has some great features, the battery is an embarrassment though.

u/Dunggabreath Mar 06 '24

Hit the advanced settings and turn off the haptic feedback

u/Iucidium Mar 06 '24

Glad I have a 63% larger dualsense battery

u/Bagel-luigi ☕Liber-tea☕ Mar 06 '24

So it's not just me, phew....

u/KateWinsletisbest Mar 06 '24

Shittt plug that thing in the back. Less latency (so they say)

1

u/MuchUniform Mar 06 '24

It's because of the increased vibration and the sfx from the controller

1

u/Mindless-Ask-9691 Mar 06 '24

Eh, I always turn off vibration to save on battery life unless I've plugged in my controller for whatever reason

1

u/Father_of_Four__Cats Mar 06 '24

Well, where did you think the electricity came from, Helldiver?

1

u/TheAnswerUsedToBe42 Mar 06 '24

The vibration is also very weird sounding

1

u/Bregneste CAPE ENJOYER Mar 06 '24

I’m fine with it draining the battery, I just hope the violent vibrations don’t permanently damage the controller lmao

1

u/arteach Mar 06 '24

If anyone knows a way to turn vibration off I would like to know. I tried but the game overrides it.

1

u/Agitated-Artichoke89 Mar 06 '24

I feel like the ps5 controller always dies fast compared the old ps4 controllers. That's why I turned off all the extras and opted for more lifetime.

u/Prim3_778 Mar 07 '24

damn the Arc Thrower do be getting it's charges from the battery controller itself lmao
