Helldivers 2 to See Several Weapon Tweaks Soon

As fun as it is, Helldivers 2 isn’t without its flaws. What the team over at Arrowhead has accomplished with the game so far is absolutely commendable, but I’d be lying if I said that the bug list wasn’t becoming distracting, especially the ones affecting some of the weapons. Fortunately though, it seems some of those issues will finally be addressed in an upcoming patch for the game.

As reported by GameSandwich.com, the developer recently let fans know that Helldivers 2’s next patch will officially add the new airburst rocket launcher and make changes and/or apply fixes to a lot of the game’s weaponry and stratagems. Details on what exactly will be adjusted haven’t been shared yet, but apparently many of the fixes are ones that the community has been requesteing for a while now.

Rumor has it that one of them will be the Spear: an anti-armor weapon that’s been terribly affected by a targeting bug ever since launch. If true, that alone would be enough to make a lot of divers quite happy, myself included.

I also hope to see sights for weapons like the Autocannon and the mech’s rockets adjust too, as aiming them accurately has been difficult for almost a month now. Besides that, I guess I’d just like to see more stuff buffed so that it’s more usable. Eitehr way, this is going to be great for the health of the game, I think.


What do you think of this? Is there anything you hope to see adjusted in Helldivers 2?
