Many have complained about weapons being nerfed too much , making the live service shooter harder and less fun to play.

The Helldivers 2 team has addressed similar complaints in the past, admitting they have gone too far with weapon nerfs, and now they’re doing it again by responding to recent backlash with a new update roadmap. Arrowhead promises to ‘re-examine our approach to balance’ with new updates in the next 60 days, including reworking the flamethrower, but fans are sceptical.

‘In short, we didn’t hit our target with the latest update. Some things we just didn’t get right – and other more fundamental inconsistencies in our approach to game balance and game direction,’ Eriksson says.
