Arrowhead Game Studios has detailed the first batch of balance changes and improvements it’s bringing to Helldivers 2 later this month as part of the 60-day improvement plan it recently announced amid a significant player backlash to the sci-fi shooter’s latest major update.
Arrowhead committed to improvements back in August following the launch of Helldivers 2’s Escalation of Freedom update. Despite some welcome headline additions – including new mission objectives and enemies – the update drew significant ire among fans for its controversial balance changes and nerfs. Helldivers 2’s reviews are currently “mostly negative” on Steam.
With player frustration continuing to grow, Arrowhead released a statement acknowledging its update “didn’t hit [its] target”, and committing to a 60-day plan of action that would see it addressing “some things we just didn’t get right” and “other more fundamental inconsistencies in our approach to game balance and game direction.” And now, the studio has announced the first batch of changes it’s making as part of its promise to improve the experience.
