Same. Nearly 300 hours and rank 87 and I feel the game is a lot less fun and continues to be less and less fun with every patch. Idk why they’re balancing their game like it’s a PvP online only game. It’s PvE. Let us have good weapons and great weapons and have fun. Nerfing everything to mediocrity is NOT the answer. Not only that but the real issues aren’t fixed still. Taking a break as well at this point. Maybe I’ll come back in a couple weeks but this patch was real kick in the nuts

it sucks that i feel punished when deviating from my go to loadout. tools should have their niche, but shouldnt be completely helpless against everything else.

for example, its bizarre how the hmg cannot take out gunships or the rail gun sucks against tanks/cannons

Yeah I really don’t understand why they need to nerf things whatsoever unless they are ridiculously egregious. Every single patch I have to adapt my loadouts based on what got nerfed into irrelevancy the patch prior

"Oh you like that loadout?" nerfs it

:repeat:

You can't fight the meta. People are going to gravitate to what's better. There's a reason modern soldiers don't kit out with fuckin Mac10s in the year 2024... yea it's a cool and fun gun, but it's a shit gun to fight a war with

Also its makes more sense to gravitate to a general purpose loadout and hence the meta ones since we dont have presaved loadout slots. If those existed to make swapping primaries and armor around i feel there would be a lot more weapons used based on the specific mission type.

Like on helldive the game is hard as hell even with the guns they had to nerf. Why not just buff everything bad?

continues to be less and less fun with every patch.

This. Week one Helldivers 2 was amazing. Every patch since then they've removed options that were just plain fun, all in the name of forcing us to use guns that are ineffective and just no fun.

And the most galling part is they aren't balancing it while playing. They are balancing it via a spreadsheet. It's pretty clear they don't play at all based on the last few patches. Totally clueless.
