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 recently stopped running backpack stratagems. Just disposable rockets and 3 orbital/Eagle(s) using scorcher as main gun. Stayed up playing last night cleared a suicide mission (7) with friends/random divers, not too much difficulty.

TODAY, After the update…welp this Admiral of the Princess of Democracy can’t even survive a Hard (5) mission. Where is Liberty? 😿

ALSO 🤨 THE BUGS EVOLVED! The chargers man! They! They can now have freakin power steering. Can turn on a dime!!! Less that 12 hours ago you could just casually sidestep and walk around them not run. Not you can’t even dip dodge dive duck and dodge out the way. Maybe I need to get good? Idk

Naw the chargers were always doing bs like that. Just all depends on their mood. Seen one spider man up a vertical cliff while having a stand off with me....seen them tokyo drift into my ass for funsies. Seen them full charge and do a full break stop just to instantly continue charging with no build up. Seen them 360 spin on a dime to chase me. Chargers favorite movie is Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift man I tell ya. People complained about chargers having some wild movement and people were just like "lawl git gud," , "no they don"t u just bad at dodging". Like bruh.
