Helldivers 2’s next update will begin to reverse some controversial weapons nerfs, but won’t be “the patch to rule all other patches”

Fan favorite Helldivers 2 weapons have been contending with some brutal nerfs lately, making the bug-squashing, bot-destroying, democracy-spreading shooter slightly duller for some players. Developer Arrowhead Studios admitted things went a little too far in its quest for balance, and it now sounds like some changes are getting reversed in the next patch.

Community manager Twinbeard jumped into the game’s Discord channel to give a brief (and still vague) overview of what’s incoming in the next patch: “There’ll be some balancing, some new stuff, some improved stuff.” Arrowhead recently made divisive changes to how often enemy patrols would spawn too, which is also receiving a “reversion in the next patch.”
