  • Another week boys and another twid this week in democracy hell divers You just got your first ever real taste of an earth.
  • I know some of you are like cross.
  • This is terrible This is awful.
  • How did they expect us to play and this is where I come in and say hey This is your first time as a destiny player
  • We have seen countless buffs and nerfs over the years, and unfortunately, Arrowhead just hit us with a pretty hefty nerf.
  • Now, Palstead actually came out, who is the CEO of Arrowhead, to address this head on, which I have to respect.
  • Quote, we want to continue our trend of clearly communicating what's going on with Helldivers II.
  • So here's our detailed design thoughts around why we did balance changes to weapons the way we did.
  • Presented by Arrowhead's old timer, Patrick Lasoda.
  • In the blog post, Patrick states that he is the current head of product testing at Arrowhead, and further expresses his desire for transparency with their players, and this involves the need for nerfs and buffs to keep the game entertaining over the course of its lifespan.
  • He states, I have since the game release seen many who say, don't nerf, only buff, and other similar ideas.
  • However, as a designer, I can tell you, this is not a great idea.
  • But I understand where the cinnamon comes from.
  • All too often in the games industry, the core fantasy and what makes a weapon feel good and fun is ignored for the sake of balance.
  • I believe players are scared of nerfs because it will ruin the fantasy of a weapon, ruin their fun.
  • It is extra important to us to tread carefully so that we don't ruin fantasy and fun when we do nerfs.
  • We hope you, our players, will tell us when we cross that line inadvertently.
  • So yeah, I know, some PR talk here and there, guys.
  • Listen, fellas, as someone who's played live games for years now, we have seen damage control from developers.
  • Look no further than the state of the game from Destiny two last year for Diablo and Blizzard with their first big patch leading up to the launch of season one.
  • There are times where developers definitely shoot themselves in both feet.
  • Today, though, I do want to go into detail, a breakdown of these nerfs as well as the buffs.
  • I want to talk about how things have changed in the days this week in democracy.
  • Now, let's start with primary weapons.
  • Many players complain that primary weapons are not strong enough to deal with all types of enemies.
  • Patrick states that this is intentional.
  • They want you and your teammates to strategically utilize your stratagems for certain scenarios, rather than rely on raw DPS from primary fire.
  • Now, the most notable of these changes is the nerf to breaker.
  • This is the SG .

  • This weapon quickly rose to the top of the primaries as the meta pick for most players.
  • Patrick states, it was, however, not necessarily better at making you succeed in a mission, and no real damage nerfs were warranted.
  • The team wanted to keep the DPS of the weapon high at close range, while also playing into the fantasy of the breaker being a powerful automatic shotgun that bucks wildly as you hose down targets in front of you.
  • So Arrowhead has increased its recoil and decreased its ammo capacity, going from sixteen shots to thirteen.
  • Now, is this nerf noticeable?
  • Keep in mind, Breaker is still a very good weapon.
  • It still does very good damage, especially up close, but yes, reducing the mag size is noticeable.
  • Something that I would complain about, especially when I'm getting swarmed with enemies, is the reload animation of Breaker.
  • And what this results in is this weapon running out of ammunition very fast.
  • It's not just the magazine size that gets hurt, it's the overall ammo that you have ready to expend that also got hurt, that being its total damage, considering that ammo inside of Helldivers II is limited.
  • Now, as far as recoil goes,
  • Is the increase here noticeable?
  • It's kind of strange because it is, but I feel like it's probably going to be more noticeable depending on your input.
  • For instance, controller players, you're probably going to feel this a bit more rather than us here on mouse and keyboard.
  • And for mouse and keyboard players, I would argue and say, you may not even notice it unless you're just really dialed into Breaker and you've been using it nonstop.
  • And the most noticeable thing about Breaker is, of course, its Mac size being decreased.
  • Now, this also takes us to the Punisher.
  • Arrowhead actually buffed this weapon.
  • It's a powerful pump shotgun, but as Arrowhead pointed out, he was being limited by its slow reload and fire rate.
  • Surprisingly enough, there was actually a bug that affected Punisher that when you picked up ammo, you would literally only get half.
  • Now, the damage per shotgun pellet was increased from forty to forty five, and they also increased total ammo capacity from forty to sixty, as well as the stagger force against enemies.
  • Now, in our sandbox testing,
  • We found that this was very strong against higher tier enemies.
  • The pump functionality does still make it difficult to deal with swarms though.
  • I personally like to pair it with things like the Guard Dog Rover to help fend off waves of rank and file enemies.
  • But overall, I think Punisher is a better option, especially considering they also patch the ammo no longer halving when you pick it up.
  • Now this takes us to the Breaker Spray and Pray.
  • Dude, this weapon would literally just tickle enemies.
  • But Arrowhead states that Breaker's spray and pray was intended to be an even wilder, more point and destroy version of the regular Breaker.
  • Something where pacing yourself would be even harder.
  • Now, many complaints came out about this weapon, most notably that it just was not good for dealing with anything larger than a scavenger.
  • But Arrowhead increased the fire rate from three hundred to three thirty rounds per minute, and a shotgun pellet per shot was brought up from twelve to sixteen.
  • Now, does this mean this is better than the current
  • In our testing, I think it just presents itself as another option.
  • Clearly, even after this buff though, I would still take like pre nerf Breaker over the Breaker Spray and Pray.
  • How it compares though, both Breaker and Breaker Spray and Pray in the current sandbox, in my opinion, Breaker is still better than Breaker Spray and Pray.
  • Now moving on to Railgun.
  • Look, Railgun was like the go to weapon, especially when dealing with automatons.
  • Arrowhead states that it was vastly overperforming in how safe it was to use and how convenient it was, not requiring a backpack or assistance to be effective, and not requiring risk to take out even larger armored targets.
  • So, Arrowhead decreased the armor penetration in safe mode and decreased the damage against durable enemy parts.
  • Now, what this means is that in safe mode, guys, it is only capable of penetrating medium armor now, such as automaton scout walkers.
  • It is also now ineffective at penetrating enemies with heavy armor, such as chargers and bowtines in safe mode.
  • Now, let me be clear.
  • I always use Railgun in unsafe mode, but now you have to use it in unsafe mode in order to do any damage to these enemy types.
  • Now your head also nerfed ability to damaging massive body parts.
  • So essentially now you have to aim for the head, as well as other weak points on enemies.
  • Now in our testing, we still found that it's good against medium armor enemies, such as hive guards, which it can still one shot.
  • Anything above medium armor, this thing though is hot ass in safe mode.
  • Fellas, don't use it in safe mode.
  • absolutely need to be playing in unsafe mode to make Railgun usable.
  • Now, shots just bounce off of Charger armor now, and it takes significantly longer to kill Biotites.
  • Honestly, you're better off just using Stratagems to take care of these guys.
  • Against Hulks, most shots just bounce off unless you hit them dead on in the eye.
  • We're about to get to it, but you're actually better off just using the laser cannon when it comes to higher tier bot enemies.
  • Now, this also takes us to the laser cannon.
  • All this nerve talk, man.
  • Let's get to something good.
  • From Arrowhead here, laser cannons' initial design was to be that of a machine gun, but with imminent ammunition.
  • However, players were disappointed by the lack of armor penetration.
  • You're damn right we were.
  • So Arrowhead buffed the laser cannon's damage versus massive body parts and increased armor penetration and gave it better ergonomics to make it easier to stay on targets.
  • In our sandbox testing, this is the railgun replacement.
  • It can deal with hulks, it can deal with chargers.
  • Yes, you do have to shoot in the armor and back of the leg now to kill.
  • It also deals with striders and most other armor enemies very well.
  • It's fantastic at taking down bot tanks when hitting the vent in the back.
  • It's got and substantially better than where it was before.
  • So guys, if you're playing this weekend, I would suggest giving the laser cannon a go.
  • Now, this takes us to another buff, this one hitting the flamethrower.
  • Arrowhead states that there were many complaints that the flamethrower felt a little too anemic, as in not outputting damage at a rate that is warranted by a weapon with a shorter range and large volatility, such as the flamethrower.
  • So they increased flamethrowers direct damage by fifty percent per second.
  • Guys, flamethrower is very strong.
  • It will cook waves of rank and file ads, especially against bug enemies.
  • It can even kill a charger with about three quarters of the mag.
  • Now this takes us to the shield backpack.
  • From Arrowhead here, the Shield Backpack is safety at the expense of a backpack slot.
  • Unfortunately, the safety offered by the Shield Backpack was a bit too great, essentially allowing you to ignore many mechanics that contribute to the fun of Helldivers, such as knockbacks, shockwaves, and giant explosions obliterating you and your friends.
  • So Arrowhead increased the time the shield needs before regeneration occurs if the shield is not broken.
  • If the shield is broken, it will then take longer to regenerate than before, but still shorter than if it had not broken.
  • Quote, to compensate for these extra times, the regeneration speed of the shield itself is near instant to max HP.
  • Now, in our sandbox testing, it takes roughly eleven point four four seconds for the shield backpack to regenerate after going down.
  • Pre patch, this was roughly six point three six seconds.
  • So yes, it's quite the nerf.
  • Now, is the shield still good?
  • Absolutely.
  • But you'll definitely need to be a lot more conscious when that shield drops, considering you'll now have double that time before getting that shield back.
  • Now, this takes us to our one hundred and twenty millimeter and three hundred and eighty millimeter barrages.
  • Arrowhead stated that these were originally designed to act as an artillery storm that would deny entry to a specified area while raining down a powerful onslaught of rounds on enemy groups.
  • Now, they have a longer active time than that of Eagle Strikes, but of course, they're less accurate.
  • Quote, they have, however, not delivered on the feel of being active much longer or the saturated area denial effect.
  • They're also good at killing the piss out of your team.
  • But Arrowhead has decreased their scatter area and gave them an extra sound bump.
  • In our sandbox testing, personally, guys,
  • I think these are still only really good for bug missions, primarily for taking out nests.
  • In my opinion, I would still go with other stratagems, but it is an option, and better than what it was before.
  • Now, Patrick closes out the blog post stating, I hope this gives you a greater insight into how we are thinking around balance and why we make the changes we have.
  • Happy Helldiving.
  • Now, outside of the blog post covering nerfs and buffs, we also got new planetary conditions.
  • In the patch notes, we see planetary hazards active, followed by many planets now have additional environmental challenges that will appear at random while you are deployed, from fire tornadoes to meteor showers and many more.
  • Now, we played a little when this patch came out, and guys, no joke, these meteor showers, they don't mess around.
  • If you find yourself in the wrong spot when this event starts, prepare to get pinballed around right before you meet death.
  • Now, in other news, Taekwon has been liberated.
  • which means mechs are here, fellas.
  • This was actually shared out yesterday on Helldivers to Twitter, stating that this is not a drill.
  • Our factories are under attack, halting all output.
  • Helldivers have been deployed to liberate Taekwon, and the liberation began soon after.
  • You guys have literally done it in less than a day.
  • Now with mechs being here, guys, we are going to be doing testing on this extensively, which is why we're not including the testing of mechs here.
  • I want to see exactly what mechs can go up against, what it can take on.
  • We will be showcasing that here in the next day, going over everything that our mechs can do.
  • Now on the topic of new stuff, we also got a new trailer showcasing the new war bond called Cutting Edge.
  • that will be coming out next week on March the fourteenth.
  • This Warbomb will include a ton of new weapons and armor for Helldivers to get their hands on.
  • Here are a few ones we know so far.
  • For armor, we have the X Series Prototypes.
  • That includes the X O Three Prototype Three, the X Sixteen Prototype Sixteen, and the X O O Prototype X.
  • For our weapons, we have the LAS Sixteen Sickle, which is a laser rifle that fires in short bursts.
  • We also have the SG AP Punisher Plasma, which is a modified Punisher shotgun with exploding plasma rounds.
  • We also have the Arc Blitzer, which projects an arc of close range lightning that can be charged up to fire off powerful bolts.
  • The G XXIII Stun, which is a new stun grenade.
  • The LAS VII Dagger, which is a secondary pistol that uses laser rounds.
  • Now, along with these new weapons and armor, there will also be three new capes, player cards, and emotes for players to get their hands on.
  • So guys, that is this week in Democracy.
  • Again, we'll be covering mechs here very soon, going over it in detail.
  • And as far as the new stuff next week, we'll be trying to unlock them as quickly as we can.
  • And as soon as we do, we'll also be testing their lethality as well.
  • If you're new to the channel, guys, stick around.
  • We do a video like this every single week called This Week in Democracy, which covers the patch notes and other shenanigans that's happening inside of Helldivers II.
  • Well, fellas and ladies, thank you all for coming and watching.
  • And as always, slap that like button like your mama told you, right?
  • you
