Arrowhead address Ricochets And Shrapnel Damage And Is Working On A Fix
Arrowhead ’s Associate Community Manager look at to the officialHelldiversReddit to recognize that the Eruptor ’s shrapnel is make high storey of damage to players , and state that the developer are look to completely withdraw the shrapnel effect from the Eruptor but will be increase its hit price as a result .
Summary
There are many ways for players to die inHelldivers 2 in their interest of majority rule , mainly at the hand of the robotic Automatons , the hemipteran - like Terminids , or even fault made by their own mate . A unexampled temporary hookup has introduced a new style , however , as players are get hold their own weapons are bolt down them mid - battle .
Arrowhead ’s latest dapple notes state , " Shots that ricochet from heavily armored foe will now by rights hit the Helldiver who open fire them . Trigger study is highly recommended . " which seems fair enough , adding another floor of submersion to the game and advance player to think about their tactics in more detail , asricochets can now do equipment casualty whereas they could n’t before . unluckily , as account byPC Gamer , this has majorly bear upon several players who are find out that they ’re dying almost as soon as they fire their arm .
The best strategy in Helldivers 2 has nothing to do with what Stratagems and equipment player use , and everything to do with how they use them .
Players Are Debating What Counts As A Ricochet
Some Weapons Seem To Be Killing Players For Other Reasons
There seems to be some argumentation around what counts as a carom and what does n’t within theHelldiverscommunity . RedditorvAErJOposted footage of them using the volatile rifle , the Eruptor , which they initially believed kill them instantly due to a ricochet . It has since been determine , however , that the issue was with the explosive rounds going off untimely , kill the thespian first , then the bug , which vAErJO signal out could be due to user wrongdoing , or a new proceeds that has been introduce with the novel patch . Others did manoeuver out thatthe ricochet machinist has made the Eruptor ’s shrapnel lethal on occasionnow though , so there is a possible action this patch may cause similar expiry for those who use the new artillery .
The Eruptor was include inHelldivers 2 ’s Democratic Detonation Warbond .
There had also been reports of rockets ricocheting , although this seems to be either due to bad hazard or perceiving this to be the causa when another explosion seemed to be responsible for , as show by Reddit userShard1697when debunking a clip of a potential ricochet killing . There is , however , one know shift with the Punisher Plasma that is kill players if they fire with a shield active , withHelldivers 2 ’s senior biz fashion designer Alexus Kravchenko have to the officialDiscordto explain that the plasm projectile now has a right hitbox that is overlapping with the shield gen rucksack .
While it sounds like ricochet Death seem notoriously unlucky and are being exaggerated by some player , Arrowhead at last made death by self - carom inHelldivers 2possible . Therefore , there has likely been some unintended impact on artillery like the Eruptor and potentially the Punisher Plasma with the former ’s shrapnel and the latter ’s hitboxes now make scathe to actor . While most arm do n’t seem to have much of an impact on general gameplay with their ricochets , hopefully , in these more extreme cases , Arrowhead can depend into balancing this out somewhat .
