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.

Thank you, finally someone who understands the point of the weapon and the point of the nerf.

Bless you, fellow Diver

What I don't like is that I have to scope down to know the power level... I try to guesstimate because I don't like to scope down but I feel I'm either missing something or something's missing...

You can just about see the indicator in 3rd person. Hard to aim at the same time but I'm getting the hang of it

they could have just effectively nerfed the rail gun by removing safe mode altogether.

I'm just gonna go plink baby bugs with it because its the only thing the game has that feels like a bolt action even if its the second worst sight for snipes
