Helldivers 2 seemingly can’t catch a break regarding balance issues. It’s becoming increasingly more difficult to make everyone happy with weapon balance, but one player claims to have a solution: weapon upgrades as seen in the first Helldivers game.
The player shared what they found in Helldivers 1, which a majority of Helldivers 2 players may not be familiar with, and claimed that the prequel had one feature that solved all primary weapon issues. “This is the exact solution that we need for the sequel,” the player wrote in a May 14 Reddit thread and posted a list of upgrades for the Liberator AR, Sorcher Plas, and the Sickle. For example, the Liberator AR could be upgraded to get more melee damage and range, better recoil when shooting on full auto, and expanded magazine capacity.
