Latest modifications unveiled in the Galactic Emergency Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes, encompassing significant alterations
In the latest Galactic Emergency update for Helldivers 2, Arrowhead Studios has brought significant changes to the game's weapon system, introducing a new weapon attachment system and tweaking various weapons to enhance their performance.
The new attachment system allows players to customise their primary weapons, with attachments like foregrips now available. For instance, the Liberator already boasts an angled foregrip, and more ergonomic and accuracy-enhancing foregrips are in development. These attachments aim to improve weapon handling characteristics.
Bullet spread and weapon sway have been adjusted, making precision and stability more crucial in weapon performance. Close-range weapons, such as SMGs and pistols, now benefit from reduced weapon sway and controlled bullet spread, improving accuracy during fast-paced, close-quarters combat. Long-range weapons, on the other hand, gain from attachments that improve accuracy and reduce bullet spread, making precision shots easier.
Some popular weapons, like the Defender, Pummeler, Reprimand, Pacemaker, Redeemer, Verdict, Liberator Concussive, Tenderizer, Eruptor, and Railgun, have had their bullet spread reduced. The Ultimatum grenade launcher sidearm, however, now features a more powerful explosion but with a less potent projectile and reduced demolition strength.
Melee weapons now consume less stamina when attacking, making close combat more manageable. The developers are also working on adding new melee weapons, such as the chainsword, which will further alter close combat dynamics.
However, it's worth noting that Helldivers 2's Killzone crossover weapons are excluded from the attachment system. The update also introduces new enemy types, including the Fleshmob, Interloper/Stingray, and Crescent Overseer, adding a new layer of challenge to the game.
The Eruptor, a popular weapon in Helldivers 2, has received improvements, with enhanced ergonomics (ADS) and a faster fire rate. The reload exploit, however, has been patched out.
The Crescent Overseer is a new type of Overseer enemy, adding a fresh threat for players to face in their missions. Completing these missions awards XP for primary weapons, potentially increasing their level and unlocking new optics, camo patterns, and more.
In summary, the weapon attachment system in Helldivers 2 now includes new foregrips and mods that reduce weapon sway and bullet spread to improve weapon stability and accuracy. This benefits close-range weapons by enhancing control in rapid engagements and boosts long-range weapon effectiveness by tightening shot precision. The Galactic Emergency update also introduces new enemy types and challenges, making Helldivers 2 more engaging than ever.
