Helldivers 2 is facing changes to weapons, enemies, and so much more. Here’s everything added in the April 29 patch.
With packed servers and a constantly changing landscape, Helldivers 2 is far from a dying game, and players are constantly eager to dive back into the battle for Democracy. However, as is its nature as a live service game, certain alterations must be added to weapons, enemies, Stratagems, and even gameplay.
So, from nerfs, buffs, crash fixes, and certain damage reductions – here’s everything coming to Helldivers 2 in the April 29 patch.
What’s changed in the Helldivers 2 April 29 patch notes?
There have been a variety of buffs and nerfs to weapons, Stratagems, armor, and enemies. Namely, armor with ratings of above 100 will reduce damage taken from headshots, and burning damage has been reduced by 15%, making it a lot easier for players to survive being set alight.
Over 20 different weapons have received various buffs and nerfs, with many receiving changes to their ammo or damage. One of the most significant changes is to the CB-9 Exploding Crossbow and the SG-8P Punisher Plasma which have received changes to their ammunition and velocity.
Tons of enemies also received nerfs and buffs. The Bile and Nursing Spewers have been made slower, while the Hulk Scorcher’s fire damage has been reduced. On top of this, the standard Devastator has had its fire rate increased.
