In about a week into Helldivers 2, there has an enormous complaints and backlashes to the game’s first ever patch that has resulted in reducing the effectiveness and efficiency of weapons.

However, the first ever balance patch 01.000.100 has seem to in fact nerfed gamers gears. It must be noted that behind these high difficult levels, gamers are being rewarded so in actual sense, gamers have something to play for.

What brought out the rants in bigger numbers was the fact that gamers popular and most effective gears being nerfed out i.e, the breaker, railgun and shield generator backpack. These three items are what gamers describes as the ultimate.

Arrowhead community manager, Spitz said,
“Hell-o, Divers! I wanted to take a moment this afternoon to let you all know that we’ve heard your concerns over the last few days regarding enemy spawns, enemy armor, and the ability to kill these enemies. As we’ve said before, our teams are always taking in player feedback and looking at how we can tweak the game to ensure that it is fair, enjoyable and provides the best experience for everyone.
“I can confirm that we’re currently looking at changes to the spawn rates and health pools of heavy enemies and will be attempting to spread them out more to prevent large spikes of tougher mobs appearing at the same time, as well as making them a bit easier to bring down. This change should go out in a future hotfix – no date as of yet.”
In an exclusive interview with Microsoft Gaming CEO, Phil Spencer, he admitted that Helldivers 2 heading towards other platforms particularly their biggest rival, PlayStation is a big blow but then he actually doesn’t know who it helps in the industry. Remember that Helldivers 2 devs had already begun production with Unreal Engine before Sony Interactive Entertainment took over. Phil said “I will say, when I look at a game like Helldivers 2 — and it’s a great game, kudos to the team shipping on PC and PlayStation — I’m not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Xbox,” Phil also added that the release on both PC and PS5 is doing well since it has a whopping $8 million in the first face of sales within a period of like two months. Going back, the original Helldivers had a featured shared-screen coop. It’s sequel Helldivers 2 comes in a quite different fold. It is a cooperative multiplayer shooter which carries up to four players at a go! It also does not have a regular dedicated campaign series. One of the features that blows the minds of players is the non-expiry battle pass. Lastly, players can also earn in game perks such as war medals, which is earned by completing game missions and defeating tougher enemies and killing objectives.
