According to Steamdb data, after the latest update of Helldivers 2 was released, the number of online players only saw a short increase, and then quickly fell back to an average level of 30,000. At the same time, the game's reputation collapsed again due to balance changes such as weapon weakening.

It is understood that in the previous update, the developer Arrowhead weakened the strength of the popular weapon "flamethrower" and added anti-tank mines that were criticized by many players as useless, which triggered a bombardment of negative reviews. According to the store page, of the more than 10,000 reviews collected for "Helldivers 2" in the past 30 days, only 46% were positive, and more than 50,000 negative reviews have been added since August 6.

The developers' repeated weakening of popular weapons has brought fans' dissatisfaction to a peak. Some people complained that "Helldivers 2", which was popular at the beginning of the year, had a great start but they did not know how to cherish it. Every balance update made the game worse, seriously affecting the gaming experience.

Recently, Arrowhead boss Shams Jorjani said that he has noticed the feedback from the player community and that the studio is discussing how to avoid similar problems from happening again. Corresponding measures will be taken in the future to address the core issues that players are concerned about.
