Johan Pilestedt and other developers of Helldivers 2 have promised to look into the issue of gameplay balance. A new Warbond has also been added to the game, after players voted for its release.
Gameplay balance updates probably cause more discord among game fans than anything else. However, the devs of Helldivers 2 themselves admit that the recent nerfs may have been excessive and seek players’ opinions.
Ironically, complaints about nerfs have intensified, particularly after what was probably the smallest balance patch to date. The patch 01.000.302 only changed one weapon. The R-36 Eruptor now deals more damage, but no longer generates shards. Players were complaining about killing themselves and their allies even when they were far from the explosion.
