Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has deployed a new update, one that makes sweeping changes to virtually every aspect of the game. In the hefty patch notes, Arrowhead describes how it aims to make the game feel intense but less frustrating to play. The patch is part of Arrowhead’s 60-day action plan to whip Helldivers 2 back into shape, and overall, players should feel more empowered whenever they drop down to a new planet.
“Our intent is to preserve the intensity of the gameplay while minimizing frustrating situations where sudden headshots cause large damage spikes,” Arrowhead explained in the Steam patch notes. Some of the changes include major reworks to enemies, overhauls of several weapon archetypes, and tweaks to Helldiver health. For example, Hulks have had their armor red…
Arkane founder Raphael Colantonio has commented on Microsoft shutting down Arkane Austin earlier this year, a decision the WolfEye Studios boss has labeled a “dumb move” made by the company.

It’s unclear if this vow applies to future game releases.
Barone has provided consistent updates for Stardew Valley over its lif…
