It's great to see Helldivers 2 responding to player feedback with meaningful updates like the Purifier buffs—nothing breaks immersion quite like a weapon that feels underpowered I'm looking forward to watching players strategize with the charged shots; it could definitely shake up the gameplay dynamics in some fun ways.
