Helldivers 2 gamers who’ve switched to the western entrance this week to cope with the Automaton rebellion are getting sick and uninterested in coping with their character’s main weak spot, fireplace—which the bots are greater than able to doling out throughout the system.
Gamers flocked to assist one Diver who sparked dialogue on the sport’s subreddit on April 13, calling the fixed barrage of fireplace tornados and burning to dying “ridiculous,” demanding Arrowhead devs make a repair. “It’s simply foolish and never enjoyable,” the participant stated.
Climate circumstances are a think about Helldivers 2, with occasions like blizzards, tremors, and extra inflicting havoc in the midst of a Helldive and boosting the issue of the encounter. One such occasion is the “Hearth Twister” barrage, which is as horrifying because it sounds. Spirals of flame contact down and spin off, chasing bugs, bots, and Divers alike and leaving burning trails behind. It’s this fireplace that gamers have had sufficient of.
One participant stated they dived into the Suicide issue for the primary time, however regardless of deciding on the heaviest attainable armor, they lasted mere seconds when the hearth took maintain. “Probably the most silly factor is that fireside simply lay on the bottom for [a] freaking century,” they added. Hearth is much more annoying because it additionally restricts motion, that means you’ll be able to’t simply outrun a bot drop or a hive spawn.
Others don’t just like the pace at which the hearth takes maintain. When you can extinguish your self by diving, when you hesitate for one second too lengthy, you’ll be fried alive and might want to redeploy. A participant confirmed a clip the place they have been lit up by a Hulk: “You die from full well being in below 150ms,” they stated, including they’ll be submitting a bug report regardless that it seems to be intentional. Letting a Hulk get shut sufficient to make use of the flamethrower is a little bit of a blunder however yeah, immediate dying definitely isn’t enjoyable.
One such answer Arrowhead may think about is an armor set designed round coping with fireplace, maybe decreasing and even negating the hearth injury altogether. I don’t thoughts coping with the flames because it offers an added problem, and may such armor be added, it ought to include some drawbacks as it will all however negate the results of some enemy items and planetary climate.
Within the meantime, prep that dive button and keep away from the hearth as a lot as attainable when taking part in Helldivers 2 subsequent time.
