Following its first huge replace of the brand new 12 months dropping final week, Helldivers 2 simply received one other contemporary patch. It is not as huge, but it surely’s nonetheless positively price combing by means of, because it fixes a few “surprising slip-ups” with weapons from the Servants of Freedom warbond.
As outlined within the notes for Patch 01.002.103, Arrowhead by chance shipped the LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle and the GP-31 Ultimatum with “the improper variations of some recordsdata”. So, it is rectified that, and rebalanced the 2 weapons for good measure.
“It’s not our intent to launch Warbond objects that want instant balancing, and we perceive that any adjustments we make can evoke sturdy emotions,” the studio wrote, outlining that: “The LAS-17 Double-Edge Sickle was meant to begin with mild armor penetration and construct as much as medium as extra warmth constructed up, but it surely launched with medium armor penetration immediately, even with zero warmth.”
In the meantime, the Ultimatum “gained further ammo from the previously-a-bug-but-now-a-feature Siege Prepared armor passive”, with Arrowhead feeling that this made it “too sturdy”.
So, the Double-Edge Sickle has been rebalanced to “make the danger/reward dynamic extra impactful”, with the patch notes outlining that its warmth injury ranges have been tweaked so it is extra lethal the upper up the dimensions you go, and that it is had some further mags added to it.
In response to “combined participant suggestions”, the Ultimatum’s tweaks embrace ensuring it is “now not influenced by the Hellpod Optimization Booster or the Siege Prepared armor passive”, as Arrowhead goals to “scale back the benefit of entry to further ammunition whereas sustaining the weapon’s core id as a powerhouse”.
That is it for the rebalancing, however you may even be glad to listen to that the studio’s “mounted a bug the place the scope aim-center was misaligned with the projectile’s fireplace trajectory, affecting all weapons however most noticeable when aiming down sights”. Oh and, the common fixes alongside that “top-priority” drawback embrace one for “a problem the place you may by chance arm the B-100 Transportable Hellbomb backpack when coming into the FRV”. Phew. Your mates are protected.
Properly, comparatively protected, given the entire ongoing Illuminate invasion factor.
