A new update from Helldivers 2 has been released that is supposed to improve many things at once; you will finally receive the information you need to defeat your enemies.
What kind of update is this? The new update for Helldivers 2 was released even before the new Warbond “Viper Commandos,” but the Warbond was not delayed. The new patch should delight players because this time almost nothing was nerfed, and actually, everything that was previously not so strong received a fresh coat of paint.
A new feature for the world map will also help you work better with the General Orders.
You can see the new Warbond “Viper Commandos” here in the trailer:
Map update makes coordination easier
What is this new feature? The world map of Helldivers 2 has received a new feature. You can now see the supply lines, or the reinforcement lines between the planets, in the game. This allows you to cut off the opponents from supplies and conquer the galaxy more easily.
Previously, one had to view the supply lines on external websites. A guide on how to best deal with the information you gain can be found here: Helldivers 2: Supply Lines Map – This is how you stop the hostile takeover of planets.
But not only was the hub on the spaceship modified, but also the balance and fairness were tweaked. The planet modifiers and hazards like fire tornadoes or the thorny plant have been revised to provide you with fairer rounds.
Who cares about yesterday’s balance?
What has changed regarding the balance? In Helldivers 2, the new update has practically changed everything. There were few nerfs and many buffs, especially for equipment, weapons, and stratagems that were previously rather weak.
In a detailed report on Steam, former CEO Johan Pilestedt took time to explain almost every change in detail. Regarding the patch’s goal, he writes: “With these balance changes, we wanted to enhance some of the weaker stratagems to make them more viable and bring more variety to the equipment.”
Weapons like the AR-61 Tenderizer, the PLAS-101 Purifier, or the R-36 Eruptor rifle have been buffed. Additionally, weapons that fire small calibers now deal a bit more damage to enemies.
As for the stratagems, the sentries received a buff; they can now withstand more. Furthermore, the “Machine Gun” sentry and the “Rocket” sentry received a buff to distinguish them a bit more from the “Autocannon” sentry and the “Gatling” sentry.
Those who prefer a more relaxed experience can also be pleased, as the rarest samples are now available starting from difficulty level 6. Today, the new Warbond Viper Commandos is also being released, which offers several new weapons, equipment, and skins for you for the first time: Helldivers 2 brings Rambo and changed mechs in the new update, but the community is eyeing another feature
