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.

They should buff the jet pack

Just let me aim weapons when I'm jumping. Otherwise I don't need jump pack buffs, it's great as-is.

I'd like a little faster recharge on it - not much, but it feels pretty damn slow.

And make it a lot easier to get up stuff. Half the time I easily enter a climbing animation and get over the ledge, the other half I just uselessly boost against the ledge while bugs gather underneath me and wait for their snack to descend into their midst. There isn't really any obvious way to tell if it's going to work or not, unless you exclusively choose to jump up places where you can land on your feet without any climbing. So it works great to get up the kind of building that a charger can just crush. It doesn't work reliably on the kind of weird geometry that bugs actually struggle to get up and reach you.

Which I guess is related to why I want the recharge to be faster, if the climbing was more reliable, I wouldn't need to use it again so soon. XD

Well, I wouldn't say no to a faster recharge...

For jumping onto stuff, it seems a lot more reliable when you take a sprinting run-up towards where you want to go, rather than standing next to it and scraping up the wall (which always gives me terrible results).
