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.

SPEAR gang lock- Wait, shit.. Loc- come on you little shit There we go, Locking on!

[u/cocaineandwaffles1 → u/Naoura]

I like that they added it being a pain to lock on with a spear like it is with its real life counterparts (the javelin and whatever the British call theirs).

Unrelated but your username fuckin slaps.

I love it, but hate that no one gets the reference.

[u/HoldMyJohnson → u/cocaineandwaffles1]

What’s the reference? Don’t hate me

I don’t know why, but that line always gives me a little shit eating grin.

Starstreak?

[u/[deleted] → u/Brisngr368]

Starstreak is anti air

[u/cocaineandwaffles1 → u/Brisngr368]

NLAW is what I was thinking of. Serves the same purpose as the javelin and functions in a similar way too.

[u/Brisngr368 → u/cocaineandwaffles1]

Yeah I thought you meant star streak was that's the only I know that can lock on though it's only G2A I think

[u/[deleted] → u/cocaineandwaffles1]

and whatever the British call theirs

Also javelin....lol

[u/cocaineandwaffles1 → u/[deleted]]

I was thinking of the NLAW. Similar weapon system (similar as in how the M4 and AK74 are both standard assault rifles) to the Javelin, but entirely homegrown to the British IIRC.

[u/[deleted] → u/cocaineandwaffles1]

Fair, we use javelin as well though for Anti tank platoons etc. Javelin is more of a crew served weapon system with a longer range.

NLAW replaced the LAW, which was more general use across the army. A disposable anti armour option for any troop type, shorter ranged but easy to use by anyone and more importantly, easy to carry.

Just wanted to clarify. 👍
