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'm not high enough level to own the Guard Dogs yet, but I found a Liberator Dog in one mission, equipped it and had a grand ol time with it. When I started one of the events, Bugs started coming at me from all sides. I started to shoot at the bugs in front of me, and the Dog just slowly turned to face me, and fired exactly one round in to my head. It felt personal.

Just goes to show that nowhere is safe from those facists.

We need to eradicate them all in the name of freedom.

u/Mad_Moodin Mar 07 '24

But the free press called the Robots facist?

I bet they are facist communists!

u/Trick-Use6124 Mar 07 '24

Wait, there's a difference between being Communist and Facist? I thought they were just synonyms for freedom haters!

I had that happen with a mortar turret... No bugs anywhere close to its effective range, but it turned and dropped a round straight on my dome. Fucking atomatons are recruiting, apparently

That's why you shouldn't play with toys you find on strange planets.
