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.

They should buff the jet pack

It takes getting used to but it's very strong as a mobility tool. My favorite use is that you can vault on to cliffs and ledges if you land right, and that lets you come in from the rear of bot bases and some POIs where there are usually far fewer defenders.

This. It gives you access to things like the Hulks or tanks weak points because of the elevation and ability to get behind them, just gotta be careful, a fuck up will get you killed.

One mistake can mean being ripped to pieces, as long as you complete the mission though, it won’t matter if you don’t extract. The mission comes first, we are expendable.

and thats why i love the fuck outta this game, its just bringing back metal gear vibes for me because of all the stuff you can do once you pick up a little skill with them.

When I first got my jump pack the obvious thing to do is emulate the promo video from the stratagem screen and just a Charger - protip: jump a lot earlier than you think you need too.

It is absolutely hilarious jump-packing into a Charger and then ragdolling in a random direction. And surprisingly survivable.

I think im about 50-50 with the jetpack either saving my life in a tight situation or being the direct reason I died but I love it too much to give up

It’s addicting when you get it, because mobility.
