HELLDIVERS II |OT| Ah what the hell. Pass me a bug, brother.

By DY_nasty Go To Postyou may think that flamethrower x jetpack is legit, but i promise it isn't
im just sayin

they "buffed everything" until they point where they had to insert champions into the game - and everyone hates them in all content. then they threw out anti champion mods, and abilities, and gave the enemies other speedbump mechanics that all fucking sucked.

and now the game is legit mid in every direction at once. buff everything is just a bad and watered down philosophy all around

Generally I agree that buffing everything is a bad idea in most games.

Given that there’s only 12 support weapons in HD2, and they’re all fairly unique. I think buffing to parity is a viable approach to balancing in this specific case.

There’s room there for each gun to have specific strengths and drawbacks, to fulfil certain needs when dealing with different enemy types. Above all, there’s room for them all to be fun in their own way.


Also makes sense lore wise because why the fuck would Super Earth nerf their soldiers in the galactic war against bots and bugs?
