" employ the one you care the most . "
Helldivers 2 discussions have been flooded with talks of “ meta , ” “ better ” weapon and stratagems , and reports of instrumentalist being kicked for act “ off - meta . ” It turns out , however , that we ’ve all had the fleece commit over our optic .
Helldivers 2 Weapon Stats Aren’t What They Seem
allot to Arrowhead CEO Johan Pilestedt , the four weapon stats we ’re shown in - secret plan are among 50 other “ secret ” stats . This means when you ’re attend at nebulose attribute like “ damage ” what youaren’tseeing are loads of other attributes – likely thing like backlash , bloom , armor penetration , and more . These lever and wheel can be tweak by the team over at Arrowhead without actually change the core stats of the guns , mean equalizer adjustments will likely be done completely independently of what we ’re shown in - game .
moreover , Pilestedt has cover that “ meta ” weapons like the Breaker are “ not overrepresented in missions that terminate in achiever . ” In other words , weapons playersthinkare “ meta ” are n’t resulting in more mission completion . So , as he say in his billet over on Twitter , “ Use the [ weapon system ] you like the most . ”
There are other quirks to some weapons that thespian should be aware of , however , like the fact thatexplosive weapon deal 100 % damage to “ squishy ” bug bits . By that , I mean self-aggrandizing immature bug butts and other soft , gelatinlike underbellies . Hopefully , these bonus are better communicated in - game in a next update .
On the subject of low-spirited players being kicked , Idobelieve instrumentalist of lower level believably face a minute more difficultness when queue up into PUGs at high trouble . There are a number of reasons for this : a want of unbarred Stratagems that are boundary line necessary for commission achiever ( like Railguns , Recoilless Rifles , and some Sentries ) , or a presume lack of game noesis . If you ’re one of these players , I ’d suggest making your own hall and letting others join . Then , youcan be the jerk that kicks everyone . Or not .
