Helldivers 2 Developer Reveals Exciting Flamethrower Buff Coming Soon
Helldivers 2 Update On The Way
Helldivers 2 is set to receive a new update on September 17th, as part of Arrowhead’s exciting 60-day roadmap. This update, eagerly awaited by players, promises to deliver significant gameplay improvements, particularly focusing on weapon balancing.
Flamethrower Buff Details
According to community manager Baskinator on the official Helldivers Discord, the flamethrower will undergo a 33% damage buff. Many players have previously felt that this weapon was underpowered compared to its bot counterparts.
- The flamethrower will revert to pre-Escalation of Freedom update mechanics.
- Flame-based weapons will now effectively damage heavier enemies such as Chargers and Bile Titans.
Additional Weapon Buffs
In addition to the flamethrower improvements, Arrowhead has hinted at significant buffs for other weapons:
- Autocannon
- Heavy Machine Gun
- Anti-Material Rifle
While explicit details remain scarce, these updates are expected to enhance effectiveness and add greater loadout versatility.
