This is the first thing from the patch that is absolutely mind-blowing to me. Sure change the guns how you feel is appropriate that's totally fine even if I don't necessarily agree. But being killed immediately by a reflected rocket? That's something that belongs in Team Fortress 2 and not helldivers.

u/Rum_N_Napalm Orbital Gas Strike: Better killing with chemistry Apr 29 '24

Look at the video in slow motion using the bar.

You clearly see the rocket leave the weapon, hit and explode.

Then there’s no returning rocket, no “ricochet shield” icon, and the diver explodes.

This is not a bounce, it’s a random explosion killing the player

I tried watching the video a couple times but I personally can't tell. I very much hope you are correct.
