Fire is out of control in 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Helldivers 2, but thankfully Arrowh🄃🐲ead knows this and is working on a fix.

No, I'm not talking about any one uncontained fire spreading through Super Earth, I just mean fire damage generally is unbalanced. Whether you catch heat from a Hulk's flamethro🐠wer or from a fire tornado, a brilliant and blisteringly fast death is a near inevitability when it comes to burning damage. Anecdotally, it also doesn't seem nearly as deva🐻stating when used on enemies, and in some cases seems completely ineffective, although . Regardless, Arrowhead admits fire damage is "ridiculous" and says a complete overhaul is in the works.

"It is ridiculous – or at least wrong andā™› something we're changing," Twinbeard added. "It's an elaborāœ…ate process, so we're doing it in parts. More info to follow."

As ever, Arrowhead is approaching this issue with a refreshing candidness that should give democracy defenders confidence that comprehensive solution is incoming. The studio kickešŸŒ„d off what it has called "a never-ending seriesšŸ…˜ of balance changes" last month, and although they acknowledged that "hav✤ing your favorite toy nerfed absolutely sucks," the march towašŸ…˜rd equality continues.

In the meantime, here are the 澳擲幸运5å¼€å„–å·ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:best Helldivers 2 builds for spreading managed democracy.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing 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 GamesRadā™Œar's west coast Stꦚaff 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.
