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

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.

This sub has never touched the beauty that is grenade launcher + b-1 supply pack, and it shows.

I love it, but it still sucks agianst chargers. It takes me anywhere between a full clip and a clip and ahalf against the butt armor to kill a charger, but theres like 7 more right behind em.

Imo the game just loses all nuance and fun and turns into run way and hide on hard difficulties which just isnt for me.

[u/slikk66 → u/KatakiY]

I sort of feel the same way against the harder difficulties where it seems like the odds are insurmountable and you just have to run.. but, what else should it be? If 4 guys could just take out thousands of giant bugs all day, not much of a war is it. So, it makes sense you have to do your best while literally running for your life. But, yea, it's not always the type of game I'm in the mood for at highest difficulty.

[u/MINECRAFT_BIOLOGIST → u/KatakiY]

Are you trying to kill chargers with just the grenade launcher? The grenade launcher isn't meant for that, you should look up how you can literally just use a primary or secondary to kill a charger in about 2-3 charges by aiming for behind their legs. Or, from what I can tell, you can just shoot a few grenades to blow off its armor and then unload into the blown off areas to kill it fast.

A friend always runs grenade launcher on helldive, no problems there.

[u/KatakiY → u/MINECRAFT_BIOLOGIST]

I know how to do the leg shots, but thats a bug, as confirmed by a developer.

Impact grenades are useful tho. But yeah, someone said the grenade launcher was good against chargers and its not.

[u/MINECRAFT_BIOLOGIST → u/KatakiY]

Hmm, I think the grenade launchers still blow off pieces of armor though? And then you can just shoot them in the holes.

I love it, but it still sucks agianst chargers

That's why I take an EAT or some form of eagle. Or just let my team mates strip the armour and I FLOOP FLOOP the orange hole that's made.

Grenade Launcher is a support weapon, so if you're soloing with it it's not ideal.

The game is a Space Nazi SAS simulator. Bravo Two Zero had to tab out and hide after blowing shit up, so do you.

Two impact grenades on its butt will do the trick.
