Helldivers 2: Another Buff Revealed for Underperforming Weapon in Next Update

Upcoming Buffs in Helldivers 2

Helldivers 2 is back with a bang! There was a dip in popularity for a couple of months, but now the community has come back strong following Arrowhead’s recent compilation of huge buffs. The good news is that even more weapon balance increases are on the way, and another Helldivers 2 incoming buff has been revealed for an “awful” weapon in the next patch.

Reaction to Buffs

A lot has recently happened in the world of HD2. Arrowhead has released the new Chemical Agents Warbond, and even more massive buffs not mentioned in the patch notes have been discovered by fans. In addition, the Arrowhead CCO has agreed that a harder difficulty mode is needed following complaints from some that the game has become slightly too easy even on the highest tier.

Details of the Purifier Buff

• On X, Arrowhead CCO and Helldivers 2 creative director, Pilestedt, confirmed the buff.
• Players are hoping for significant improvements to the Purifier weapon.
• Fans await the details of upcoming buffs and patches.
• Concerns arise regarding the Scorcher's relevance post-buff.

This is fantastic news as it shows the developer is continuing to listen to the community and has more buffs prepared. Unfortunately, we don’t know exactly when the next patch will arrive. Reacting to the Purifier getting a massive buff in the next patch, Pilestedt’s comment has some of the community on Reddit slightly concerned that the Scorcher will become obsolete.

Looking Ahead

In addition to the Purifier, Pilestedt has recently teased an exciting buff for the jump pack next patch, too. No details were provided, but so far for the next major update we have buffs incoming for the Purifier and jump pack.
