Helldivers 2 Players Aren't Happy About Fire Damage Changes

The Escape from Tarkov community is in an uproar over the newly released Unheard Edition that costs $250 and includes upgrades that many are calling pay-to-win. Although Escape from Tarkov has been regarded as one of the best survival FPS games for years now, its popularity among fans has taken some hits in recent months.

Sony’s multiplatform release strategy has accelerated rapidly in recent years, with the company now viewing PC as a much more prominent part of its larger strategy, especially where live service titles are concerned. Earlier this year, for instance, Helldivers 2 launched simultaneously for PS5 and PC, and it’s fair to say that the majority of game’s unexpected success has been thanks to PC audiences. Now, interestingly enough, it looks like Sony might be considering ways to bring even larger audiences into Arrowhead Game Studios’ acclaimed co-op shooter.

A Helldivers 2 player discovered the model for Eagle-1 came with its own hitboxes after a comedic midair collision. Since the game's release, there's been no shortage of videos showcasing the many ways Helldivers 2 players can expire in the line of duty, but one unfortunate soldier met a particularly gruesome end when they were launched into the air and subsequently hit by the series' iconic Eagle Fighter.

A creative Helldivers 2 player has produced a cool concept that would massively improve the game's Exosuit Mech Stratagem. The Exosuit Mechs in Helldivers 2 haven't fully lived up to their early promise, but with these changes, would be a force to be reckoned with in the Galactic War against the Terminids and Automatons.

Fortnite fans have expressed their disappointment in a new J Balvin Icons skin that simply uses an older skin's design and recolors it. Recolored skins in Fortnite are usually offered as optional styles, but the new one is a separate purchase and costs 1,500 V-Bucks.

Helldivers 2 players are asking Arrowhead to make the Super Earth flag a support stratagem that boosts the morale of nearby allies. Stratagems are the pinnacles of character loadouts in Helldivers 2, with which players can turn the tides in their favor. Each of them has a unique function; for instance, Eagle Cluster Bomb performs explosive attacks that clear hordes of enemies, while EMS Mortar Sentry stuns them for a limited time.

One Helldivers 2 player shared their neat ideas for new planetary hazards that could be added to the top-down shooter in the future. In a recent update, Helldivers 2 has introduced two new planetary hazards, blizzards and sandstorms, that have their own effects. Blizzards reduce the player's mobility and make it almost impossible to see enemy units. Sandstorms, on the other hand, are paired with intense heat that increases stamina drain.

Following a recent update that increased the amount of fire damage per tick, Arrowhead Game Studios confirms that it has plans to tone down the devastating effects in Helldivers 2. After a record-setting launch back in February, Helldivers 2 continues to maintain its impressive player numbers thanks in large part to how dynamic the game world feels. With the galactic map and missions constantly changing, Arrowhead Game Studios has managed to support the game through a live service system with consistent patches, quality of life updates, and new content to check out.

Helldivers 2 players have begun expressing their frustration over bugs affecting their game experience, with one particular damage issue taking center stage. Their discontent is growing more vocal as the persistent issue is undermining the effectiveness of new Helldivers 2 weapons and content added by updates.

Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws features a $110 Gold Edition and a $130 Ultimate Edition, and some fans are not happy about what they are getting for those high prices. The more expensive editions of Star Wars Outlaws include premium benefits that have become commonplace in recent years.

Between wiping out the Automatons and finding out they’ve returned,Helldivers 2 players have had their hands full recently. Fortunately, some new weapons are available to help even the odds courtesy of the Democratic Detonation Warbond. It adds three new primary weapons: the BR-14 Adjudicator Rifle, CB-9 Exploding Crossbow and R-36 Eruptor Rifle.

Helldivers 2 players are loving the new defense mission type, which they think is better than others. Although Helldivers 2 players completed Operation Swift Disassembly and eradicated the Automaton faction last week, the second wave of the robotic enemies has now returned to the game with the latest update. They have launched an assault on planets across the galaxy with a massive fleet to change the tides of the Galactic War.
