They do that to keep people chasing the new primaries from the war bonds.
The cycle is pretty obvious at this point: warbond comes out, weapon is god, weapon gets nerfed, repeat.
I really have to disagree with this. Can't think of another weapon besides the eruptor to have god status aside from the release breaker on the free starter warbond.
I wasn't there at the time but I remember people talking about the railgun being god status.
True but the railgun isn't a warbond weapon. It's a support weapon free to everyone.
Ah good point. I've put 150 hours into HellDivers 2, this should have been second nature to me. Although I picked up Stardew Valley to play 1.6 during the account fiasco and now I'm totally lost in that.
I remember COD Warzone being notorious for this back when I played it during COVID
Butbthere you had to fight other people using weapons that are just better and you had to grind the game to get it. If a weapon is fun in helldivers, i will use it, even tho there might be a better option. I have a blast with the crossbow and the senator, which I don't really see people using. I think people would enjoy the game more if they would stop reading patch notes and youtubers who tell them which guns are good or bad and just get out there having fun with whatever they want.
It still is
League of Legends did this when they released new champions. New champ is overtuned for about a month, then it gets nerfed back down to baseline. Who knows how much money they got when people bought RP to get the sexy new champ and all their skins.
It's only a matter of time before Arrowhead starts making thirst trap Pool Party Helldiver armor.
Are you saying the medic armor isn’t shady thirst trap armour? Just look at them when they’re at the mission selection table!
If this is the case why has the scorcher been so damned good forever?
You're probably right though, I bet they'll nerf it before too long here.
Didn’t they just nerf if? Isn’t the dominator better in every stat?
Is the Dominator the one that handles like old people fuck?
Sounds like them too.
