The latest nerfs in Helldivers 2 left many players dissatisfied with how Arrowhead Game Studios approaches balancing in the game. To voice their concern, Helldivers resorted to the old-school method—review bombing.

Since the release of the Escalation of Freedom update that introduced changes to how flame works and nerfs to the SG-225IE Breaker Incendiary, Helldivers 2 received 2,138 negative reviews on Steam. These new reviews write about how the developer is ruining the game by patching what’s fun.
