Helldivers 2 got its first round of balancing today in a patch that buffed a handful of underperforming support weapons and significantly nerfed the Railgun—the one-shot killing machine that's enjoyed the undisputed top slot for the first month of the game.
Leading up to the patch, all eyes were on Arrowhead as vocal corners of the community lobbied for a "Don't nerf, only buff" approach to balancing the co-op PvE shooter, the idea being that a co-op shooter with no PvP doesn't need to nerf certain guns when it can just buff the underpowered ones instead.
