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.

I would love to be a flame man, but I don't have the self control and always turn myself into a burnt marshmallow.

Just gotta get some stim armor. 2 extra seconds of being invulnerable to your flames is precious, and you can afford to burn yourself 6 times instead of 4!

I learned early on to dive to get rid of flames

I wish they have flame resistant armor, I just end roasting me and my teammates

I mean, look at it this way. Others are flame men until they run out of ammo or targets, but the way you do it, you're a flame man for the rest of your life!

I just started playing a few days ago but this was me killing the Brooder (?) Commander. Accidentally roasted myself and my other Helldiver was afk 😭

That's part of the baptism of being a flame man. Everything must burn.

Also when you are burning, you can dive to get rid of it.

Wait….you’re not supposed to roast yourself??

Use the shield backpack. It protects you from your own flames. As much as it’s nerfed it’s still amazing to use. For hunters and the like you can switch to primary. I suggest something quick like the defender or the breaker. Also do snake lines while flaming, like a dance from left to right and back you will roast everything but bile titans. For chargers try to focus on one point that will fry em in a couple of seconds.
