Hi there there, Helldivers 2 of us. You may in all probability be glad to know that the forces of Tremendous Earth are actually shifting on the automaton-infested Troost, having simply wrestled management of Vandalon IV. To be truthful, they’ve had assist from two enormous new weapons, one among which actually looks like it is perhaps a brand new fan favorite.
These recent additions to the arsenal have been a welcome shock, particularly since Arrowhead has briefly barred gamers from moving into snowball fights, because of a problem it is busy wanting into. Whereas your arc weapons ought to now not trigger crashes like these snowballs at the moment are, you will in all probability wish to give these new firearms a whirl as you push on in direction of main order victory over the following days or so.
As I write this, there is a power of 140,000-ish helldivers battling to liberate Troost, with it having turn into the primary goal of their crosshairs as soon as Vandalon IV fell into Tremendous Earth’s fingers just a bit bit in the past. It is the large closing boss of this newest main order, so this is hoping the assault goes properly, even when it at the moment seems prefer it’ll take 20 hours or so of strongly sustained push, since we’re at the moment solely at about 4% liberation proportion, in accordance with Helldivers.io.
Fortunately, Arrowhead has not too long ago dropped two new weapons into the combo, within the type of the The LAS-99 Quasar Cannon and the MG-101 Heavy Machine Gun. So, what are they? One’s a charge-based laser, properly, cannon, that is preferrred for taking out ranged targets. In the meantime the opposite’s, er, a machine gun, that boasts a 75 spherical journal that it may burn by way of faster than I do the goodwill at most dinner events and has no third particular person sights, that means it’s going to take a look at your aiming abilities.
So, what are the early critiques over on the sport’s subreddit wanting like? Fairly rattling good is the reply for the Quasar Cannon, with some of us already declaring it the very best factor since sliced bread or posting clips of them blowing stuff like fabricators to smithereens with it.
Although, as individuals are stating, the prolonged cost time does not fairly make it a weapon that may get you out of completely each jam in a way that’d make it the one factor you ever want to hold, even when it has infinite ammo.
The MG-101, however, whereas it semms to have some followers and people who assume it is particularly designed to excel in sure eventualities, is drawing much more criticism and complaints of being underwhelming, primarily because of the lack of sights, its restricted ammo, and solely having a medium stage of penetration.
Nicely, let’s examine if gamers heat to it a bit extra with time, in any other case Arrowhead might need to step in with some useful tweaks.
