Helldivers 2 - Big Changes Soon, Weapon Buffs, and Enemy Nerfs!

Intro all right guys cookie here with a bunch of newss courtesy of Arrowhead former CEO and current CCO pilad pilad hit the hell divers 2 Discord this morning and basically leaked a bunch of details about the next upcoming patch for the game and a lot more a lot of this information is brand new and sounds like it will have a very big impact on the future of this game and how it plays so I will run through the highlights for you all and a quick thought on the impact that these changes could have moving forward so let's get into it all right so this was the first message that pile put in the Discord says so a quick Pilestedt on the Discord update I've been working closely with the team to look at the game experience balance mostly with the team we are confident in the update that we are creating that it will be a significant meta shift and bring the game into a state where the playfulness takes the front seat and challenge is secondary I've had a good time with the experience shift and it is closer to the original intent of the game and what it was at launch so basically we've kind of seen this before with a few of the patches in the past they've kind of been push ing this message a couple times which does kind of make this come up as uh you know we'll believe it when we see it kind of situation at least that's what I take it as and I clearly wasn't the only one because pilet very shortly after this responded to someone's comment which more or less said the same thing that them wanting to go back the original version doesn't exactly instill Arrowhead Plans Moving Forward confidence in them pet responded saying thank you it's a good point of view we have seen internally that there has been a shift in what that is balance and nerfing and buffing are elements that we during the majority of development of avoided we focused on making an experience that made sense after launch I think the discussion of metadata informed and balance took the overhand and replaced our focus on creating a fun playful and fantasy-driven experience so it definitely like that is the way most held aage players seem to want to play the game from a more doesn't have to be that realistic it's overall not that realistic anyway that's kind of how I've always thought of it but will it actually happen then we'll have to wait and see I'm not entirely sure what the question was that prompted this response but it does kind of go forward into talking more about how pilest and the arrowhead team plans on doing things moving forward said in my view too late but we are doubling down on QA this time around to not [ __ ] it up a good update with stability issues is a bad update then again a stable update with bad changes is the same we need to do good on both parts then he goes on to talk about things we'll actually see coming up soon in the next update he said sorry Chargers Nerf everyone I can't keep up with the new update we'll see the autoc cannon and the AMR be effective against Chargers if you don't remember what the AMR is that's the anti-material rifle so the sniper rifle so making both of those effective against Chargers is the beginning of great things he would talk quite a bit about Chargers because someone asked if the team had considered turning the Chargers bulbous spot into one that can be killed off with primaries with more ease and he simply responded saying yes you can destroy it rather quickly now so there is actually it does sound like they are significantly nerfing the Chargers which is very unusual they've almost never really nerfed an enemy in the this game so that's going to be really interesting to see how far that goes I almost wonder if they'll overdo it but at this point the way Chargers have been I don't know if you can't overdo it those things are so ridiculously annoying I'd be perfectly okay with them sucking for a little while in the same vein someone asked more questions about the primaries and how much damage they could actually do to the carapus and ped said you still have to beat armor so like the Liberator would just bounce off of the charger carrus but knocking it open with an autoc Cannon and pouring rounds into the exposed flesh in this situation would work moving on to other units that look like they're getting a Nerf someone asked about ragd dolling it's been Big Rocket Devastator Change something that him and the CEO have talked about quite a bit in the past month he said less rockets that hit worse against bots also the rocket Collision was5 M large it's now .1 M large and made rocket Devastators run out of ammo and blow their load quickly so that's been something people have talked about a lot on the Reddit and in the Discord about potentially having especially for the automatons having them actually run out of ammo this is the first time I've actually seen any confirmation that they are either working on that or that's going to happen so be interesting to see what the rocket Devastator does when it does run out of ammo I don't know if it'll just become a melee unit or if it'll just stand there we'll have to see but even if it's rocket tiit you sounds like it's going to do much less damage than before keeping a going on what's happening with enemies this goes back to the terminate Bile Titan Nerf side talking about biot tians someone simply asked is there any news about the bio Titan not taking damage from explosive fire and pilot that just simply said yes it's fixed he went on to say about the biot Titan someone asked if they will finally take damage to the head and he said yes and the entire belly is susceptible to Small Arms fire so it looks like the biot Titan's going to be getting a Nerf we knew the charger was going to get a Nerf looks like the rocket Devastator is getting a Nerf so there's significant Nerfs coming to both the terminat and the automatons which is good news and could be very very helpful for this game moving forward someone asked about the rail gun P had said Railgun Buff there is a higher risk reward but closer to release and Effectiveness but we know it's a fan favorite so we are trading carefully so not exactly a confirmation that the rail gun will definitely be in this next patch but they are definitely working on it and trying to get it closer to the place where it was at back in March where it was one of the most effective weapons in the game and considered overpowered apparently by Arrowhead but it looks like they're trying to revert back to that slowly but surely so someone was asking about Crosshairs Are Fixed crosshairs crosshairs have been an issue in this game really since release it has just simply the Crosshair is not where the bullet ends up going especially with the AMR and pilad said yes I've heard that cross hairs are fixed across the board but wait for official info also to everyone I'm expressing my point of view we are a studio of 100 plus which means our crafted and official messages take priority over what I say so if there's ever a contradiction the public one is right so first off great to hear the crosshairs are potentially fixed across the board that would be a huge change that has not been around since release but also an interesting disclaimer throwing that in there that there's a big Studio here and just because he's saying this does not mean it's absolute fact which is interesting coming from someone in as high a position as CCO but even so pile's kind of giving himself a little protection there in case these things don't happen so I guess that's a disclaimer overall for almost the entire video it is possible these things don't actually end up being at least in this next patch but giving us kind of a behind the scenes view but nothing official I guess is being said here is what he's trying to get at that being said when someone asked if the 500 kg 500 KG Bomb Change bomb was going to be worked on ptit straight up said the 500 kg is in in the next patch with a little goat Emoji so the 500 kg bomb should be in the next patch unless for some reason that doesn't come to be but according to pilad that is going to be another thing Mech Changes Coming that will be updated someone asked if they were taking a look at mechs and potentially changing them pilad said that he agrees that Mech needs some change but not for the next patch so there may be updates coming for the mech probably in the form of a buff would be my guess but if that happens it's not going to happen very soon but something to look forward to in the future future and then pilee kind of ended this kind of going back to that disclaimer he just talked about because someone commented about them chugging up the hype train too early when all pilad did was talk and says that they'll believe the updates when they see it and pilad actually agrees with this saying this guy gets it don't be overly hyped based on my bean spill it's too easy to get disappointed the proof is in the pudding so even though this is all good even though this is all interesting and neat for us to be talking about and it can give us some hype and stuff pad is trying pretty hard this time around not to get people too overly hyped and too overly hopeful so take that however you want to but it's definitely something he wanted to push a lot in talking about this so guys that does it for this video Outro I hope you guys are informed and got something out of this good to see the hell divers news whenever we can so it's definitely going to be interesting to see where this game goes but I would guess that we're probably going to have a patch pretty soon but again F that didn't straight up say that don't take that as sacred or anything but we'll see what happens but exciting to at least see some interesting changes at least seem to be in the works so if you guys like this video please let us know by Smashing the like button for us helps us out a ton
