The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2 devs have spent the week or so promoting a major patch aimed at addressing a whole pile of player concerns, but one developer iﷺs offering a reminder that this one's about evolution rather than revolution.

On Discord, community manager Thomas 'Twinbeard' Petersson was asked how he'd rate the new patch on a scale of 1-10. "I'd rate the patch a strong 7 or an 8 (or a 3+ to -4 if you prefer)," Twinbeard says. As for why it's not a 10/10, he adds that "I'm picky in terms of grading and review scor🌠es. If everything's great, what do you say when some💎thing comes along that IS truly great? So yeah. A solid patch with a bunch of changes; evolutionary rather than revolutionary."

Twinbeard has said similar things in the recent past, noting that the upcoming update won't be the "biggest patc�🐓�h of all time." A proper 9 or 10/10 patch, in Twinbeard's estimation, wou🌊ld take "new substantial game mechanics or systems being implemented that also improved the game as a whole." Stuff like new a💛reas, vehicles, enemies, weapons, and the like.

What this upcoming patch will feature is a whole lot of buffs. The 澳洲幸运ꦜ5开奖号码历史查询:Railgun's power 🌌is getting quadrupled, the controversial Flamethrower changes are get🍌ting 🦋rolled back alongside a 33% damage buff, and the Breaker is getting buffed back to 🐻what it was at launch. Exactly how all these buffs🎀 work together in practice remains to be seen, but even if this patch isn't "revolutionary," in Twinbeards words, it seems the community is anticipating a big step in the right direction.

Helldivers 2's mega-buff patch also nerfs Rocket Devastators and Gunships: "I'm hiding behind a rock, they blow their load all over me, and then I can move out of cover."
