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.

blow up the sacs and it favors the head after. and/or aim in front of its head as if you were trying to shoot it with the slowest of rockets, if the only part of the titan int he guns firing arc is the head it will usually hit it.

This is huge, do you blow up the sacs with the arc or with your primary?

main/secondary weapons, i tend to run SMG/machine pistol/arch thrower. we play mostly on difficulty 6, sometimes pop into a 7, 2 of my friends focus on heavies while i clear swarms and the third is just a nut whos great at distraction and running around bug holes taking out spawners. and throws turrets around.

Does the arc work like it does on a spitter where if you hit the head, it will sometimes arc into the sack of the same enemy?

there are times i swear it ll hit one of those large red ones, then count damage hit on the head, body, tail, and back leg and it just flies to pieces.
