Helldivers 2 Patch: Players Create MS Paint Diagrams Over Gun Change

Helldivers 2 has recently faced backlash from players due to controversial changes in the latest patch, specifically affecting the Eruptor gun's shrapnel mechanics. Players who appreciated the weapon's previous capabilities are expressing their dissatisfaction, claiming that the latest update has significantly nerfed its performance. The shrapnel now behaves unpredictably, reportedly flying away from targets instead of towards them, leading many players to question the intent behind this alteration. The latest update has sparked discussions online, with players creating diagrams to illustrate their concerns.

The patch altered how shrapnel from the Eruptor behaves, causing it to fly away from the target, which has frustrated many players who relied on it for effective damage output. Some players allege that this change has rendered the gun nearly useless in combat.

Helldivers 2 is a cooperative twin-stick shooter developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. The game allows players to team up and tackle challenging missions against alien threats in a satirical sci-fi universe. The original Helldivers gained a reputation for its intense gameplay and strategic depth, which the sequel aims to build upon while adding new weapons and strategic elements.
