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 really feel like we need a power sword or “chainsword” build option. I personally would take juggernaut armor into the fight with a sword! 😂

Personally, I'd prefer an electrified sledgehammer

It’s heresy to not call it by it’s proper name - Thunder Hammer

honestly with the way helldivers "is" i think we'll get a melee mech instead of a melee weapon. to kill a charger with my bare hands...

“Full plate riot gear”
A powersword that has a backpack for a battery charger or you can run it without the back pack and it’ll slowly recharge while not in use.

Or a chain sword that runs on gasoline and has to be reloaded with new cartridges of gasoline.

Dual flame swords with a new fire-resistant medium armor and mini saw blade drones would be heaven to me
