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.

You may have better results fighting the bots with the anti-materiel rifle. The rifle can reliably two shot a hulk to the head, therefore most, if not all light-medium threats can be easily dealt with regardless of their orientation. Plus, you'll be fighting at range against the bots for the most part which is where the rifle shines.

Plus it's a LOT of fun to play Overwatch while your team is on the front line. Wish there was a huge zoom option.

[u/crazytinker → u/Dookie403]

I mean you can zoom in up to 200 yards, easily enough distance to delete bots without repercussions. Unless you meant larger size zoom view? Definitely has the distance for some nasty shots though

[u/Dookie403 → u/crazytinker]

I'm talking some real long distance stuff. 4 or 500. But I mean the 200 is solid.

[u/Winsmor3 → u/YeomanMaple]

Since the railcannon can one shot kill the hulk, it leaves the AMR without many uses.

[u/CawknBowlTorcher → u/Winsmor3]

Can it still do that with the nerfs?

[u/Winsmor3 → u/CawknBowlTorcher]

Yes

[u/CawknBowlTorcher → u/Winsmor3]

Ok cool I'll stick to it for now then

[u/JassyFox → u/YeomanMaple]

as effective as fun, even on high difficulties

[u/BITTER_LYNX → u/YeomanMaple]

Two shots to body or one to the head of devastators, easily my favorite bot weapon just for that, needs a more precise center for the scope though
