Helldivers 2 Players Aren't Happy About the Slugger Nerfs

A creative Helldivers 2 player has produced a cool concept that would massively improve the game's Exosuit Mech Stratagem.

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.

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.

Helldivers 2 no longer cleans up the blood on armor after missions, and players are enjoying this change not mentioned in the patch notes. For the unaware, the recent Helldivers 2 update has shadow-dropped some new content, including a charger meter feature for the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon.

Two months after the launch of Helldivers 2, one of its enemy factions, the Automatons, has been wiped out.

Another player also discovered a way to blow up Automaton fabricators using the LAS-99 Quasar Cannon.
