As Helldivers 2 players digest the game’s first balance patch, developer Arrowhead has discussed the thinking behind changes to weapons and stratagems, calling on players to give them a chance.
Agreed. Breaker was the only weapon that felt…“normal” as far as normal goes in other similar games. The rest feel like ineffective peashooters. To hear that its been nerfed is a bit disappointing, ngl.
Not “too hard” as much as “needlessly frustrating and less fun”.
Like I’m going to win either way, but winning a game with guns that don’t feel good to use is less fun than also winning but with guns that do feel good to use.
Breaker nerd is non-existent, it just has more recoil and slightly less ammo that you’re barely going to notice if you use it as intended. You just can’t spray a group of enemies at 40m and expect headshots on all of them anymore, but closer than about 20m it’s stupidly lethal still.

What I read is “boohoo the game is too hard for me”

And you define “satisfying” as “that one shot anything and trivialise everything”?
Uh no, I’d define satisfying as “Having a little bit more oomph than an airsoft gun against an NFL linebacker”
I think the game is supposed to feel difficult

The recoil is fine, at least with a mouse. I am feeling the reduced ammo a lot though and it’s made the gun decidedly less fun to use.
