Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Studios has recognize a recent trouble where musician were suddenly dying after a speckle update . Initially call back to be due to rocket bouncing off , the result has now been traced to shrapnel from a specific arm .
fit in to a Charles William Post by a plot developer on Reddit , little arms firing can bounce off armor in the secret plan . However , rockets and explosives ca n’t bounce , but the shrapnel from their explosion can still do damage to players , sometimes lead to crying expiry .
That feels so incredibly unfair , but it really is n’t . That kind of stuff and nonsense is naturalistic and good on Arrowhead for making sure their physical science body of work really well , but for a player , that ’s not as fun . I think this is a great example of how video game should n’t be completely realistic , just realistic enough not to slay the fun aspect . Fun should always come first .
Arrowhead is removing the shrapnel burden from the R-36 Eruptor to handle an unintended outlet . The developer will increase the Eruptor ’s direct strike impairment to ensure the weapon continue in force against foeman . This change aims to make the weapon system safer for player without compromise its ability to wipe out foe .
“ We have noticed another upshot through these posts and community feedback that has distinguish the hypothesis for shot from the R-36 Eruptor to blow up and recoil shrapnel at the shooter , which has a high enough damage value to right away kill the player . To forestall this , we ’re looking to completely remove the shrapnel burden from the Eruptor but will be increasing its strike price as a result … This will , overall , be a buff to the weapon as shrapnel recreate an almost negligible part in the hurt and power it dealt . Its AOE will be unaffected . “
Developers have stated that the update will not change the Eruptor ’s sphere - of - effect ( AoE ) damage , as shrapnel damage had a minimal wallop on the weapon system ’s overall effectiveness . They look for that the direct terms increase , along with this adjustment , will enhance the R-36 Eruptor .
