Arrowhead confirms Helldivers 2 players aren't being insta-killed by ricocheting rockets - shrapnel is the culprit, and it's being patched out alongside a weapon buff
❀꧂"This will, overall, be a buff" to the R-36 Eruptor

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 develoಞper Arrowhead has identified the cause of a mysterious phenomenon that's b꧅een insta-killing players after the latest patch.
For some context, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a chunky Helldivers 2 balance patch recently tweaked the way shrapnel works, namely by giving it the potential to deal damage to the firer, whereas before these rebound shots were harmless. Following that change, a whole swath of players were initially convince🎶d that the jet-assisted explosive shells they'd been firing from their Eruptors were reflecting off heavily armored enemies and ⭕killing them instantly. However, after a bit of detective work from the community strongly suggesting the culprit to instead be shrapnel, Arrowhead has now chimed in and officially put the myster✱y to bed.
."This has since been by the community, but nonetheless, our Ministry of Defense team also ran a number of tests today and confirmed that rockets and explosives are not ricocheting backwards," Spitzer said. "However, we have noticed another issue through th🍌ese posts anꩵd community feedback that has identified the possibility for shots from the R-36 Eruptor to explode and rebound shrapnel at the shooter, which has a high enough damage value to instantly kill the player."
As a 🐽result, Arrowhead is "completely" removing the shrapnel effect from the Eruptor and buffing the weapon's damage output to compensate. "This should make it less lethal to the operator but just as powerful against enemies."
Don't worry either, the Eruptor's AoE damage won't be affected by this as, according to Spitzer, the damage to enemies dealt by ꦓshrapnel alone was "almost negligible." In fact, with the increase in direct hit damage, Arrowhead says this forthcoming update "will, overall, be a buff to the weapon."
"We apolog🅰ise for this misunderstanding and thank you all for investigating these new changes so diligently, and for pass𓆏ing on your feedback to us," Spitzer said. "Hopefully this makes sense and these changes should help everyone survive better!"

Otherwise, it sounds like ricochet damage is here to stay, at least for the time being. Arrowhead hasn't said anything about changing how that works, but at least we know it's only smaller bullets that have this potenti🦋🍨ally deleterious affect. In the meantime, proceed with great caution when using the Eruptor while Arrowhead works on a fix.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while fre♊elancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
