Helldivers 2's latest patch is out and—having properly got stuck in last night—it's a banger. I actually feel like I can muck about with my loadouts now. I rocked an explosive crossbow, a revolver, a thermite charge, and an airburst rocket launcher and felt downright powerful. Likewise, the flamethrower feels potent, too.
It's a solid victory against many of the issues players have been citing since the game's release, including anger at a nerf-first policy that doesn't really track in a horde shooter. It was during these tumultuous times that Space Marine 2 released and, being quick to rally behind any banner that pops up, some players believed it'd right the wrongs of Helldivers 2's rocky update cycles. A return to the halcyon days of power fantasies and bug-smashing.
