For players that feel that some of the guns in Helldivers 2 aren’t performing as well as they should, we have some good news as the folks over at Arrowhead Game Studios have confirmed a Helldivers 2 balance update is in the works, though it may come with a nerf to one of the game’s best weapons.
Helldivers 2 Balance Update May Bring Chaos to Democracy
As confirmed (via Discord) by Arrowhead’s community manager, Baskinator, the team is currently working on a balancing update to address several weapons.
As for when this update will be released is anyone’s guess, though we suspect it to be soon as the patch is currently in Q&A per a Alexu, a developer from Arrowhead who commented in the Discord about the update.
He later commented saying that the first balance patch for Helldivers2 will mostly be simple stat changes.
And though Alexus has been very careful about confirming buffs and nerfs, he did warn players not to get too attached to the Breaker, teasing that changes are coming.
Personally, I think this balance patch should allow mini-nukes to be shot from every gun, as we need all the firepower we can get in our ongoing effort to spread democracy, but I can see where that might be overkill.
We expect this Helldivers 2 blance update to arrive later this month, along with more bug fixes and such. Speaking of weapons, Arrowhead boss Johan Pilestedt gave players a look at what the game’s weapon stats page looked like before it got changed to what we have now.
