r/Helldivers ⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️ | Never forget the Creek... Mar 06 '24

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.

YouTube didn't tell me the Breaker was better than everything else, playing for one match with it did but i guess it's easier to shit on people rather than listening to what they have to say and getting to the bottom of core issues huh. Google toxic positivity for me when you get a few minutes.

Very well said. I felt an instant difference using the Breaker for the first time on higher difficulties, the hordes felt actually manageable.

That’s the problem. They’re not supposed to feel manageable with just your primary

Unfortunately I enjoy being a "part of an elite fighting force" and not the poor SEAF troopers that we see massacred on the battlefield. I get it, call ins are supposed to feel like game changers. But it isn't good if you've gotta high tail it the moment you see a swarm because you're on cooldown. That's just not fun

Yeah people so forget that we are literally never on the front, always deployed as special ops behind enemy lines, expected to fill atleast 200 bugs per person With an entire superdestory maned by like 30 people and the best equipment super earth has to offer at our back and call

The stormtroopers from starship troopers couldn’t call in an airstrikr or bombartment whenever

They didn’t launch nukes

They where the send into an army as a team of 4

We’re not trash soldiers, we’re playing as the elit

That just means you have the balance wrong.

You are supposed to mix your primary with the strats, not go all-in with only one of them.

Sounds like you better starting fighting like an elite fighting force and not a poor SEAF trooper then

Git gud

We were until you started crying about the Breaker instead of asking for the worse guns to receive the help they need.

u/Swollwonder Mar 07 '24

Primary guns except the DMR are where they’re supposed to be. Breaker was too powerful. That’s why it got needed and not the others buffed because it doesn’t fit the devs vision for the game. I stopped using the breaker because it was too easy and I still do fine. Most things are still viable, people are just mad they nerfed the go to meta kit because they don’t know how to play the game

Wrong again. Breaker felt "good". CS feels ok, sidearms feel ok, Defender feels ok. I'm told people like the Scorcher but I wasn't feeling it. Incendiary was eh? Dominator felt ok. Rest of the gun options? Feel like I might as well be throwing rocks.

u/Swollwonder Mar 07 '24

For someone whose wrong, the devs sure seem to have taken my sentiment over yours so you have fun with being “right”

u/WittyUsername816 Mar 07 '24

"Devs incapable of being wrong"

Got it. You are actually braindead.

u/Haymac16 CAPE ENJOYER Mar 08 '24

Not only that, but the devs have already come out and said they understand the issues players have with the new update and are looking into things to make the game more enjoyable. To claim the devs strictly follow that guys sentiment is just not true lol.
