Summary
- Helldivers 2's latest patch has made some changes to ricochet and shrapnel, making the R-36 Eruptor a very deadly weapon.
- There have been several reports of the shrapnel from the weapon rebounding and instantly killing players, a problem that Arrowhead has confirmed.
- It's been promised that a fix is on the way which will remove the shrapnel released by the weapon, with the hit damage being increased slightly to compensate.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Helldivers 2's has dropped, causing players to panic, complain, and every other massively overblown reaction you can possibly think of. One of the bigger talking points during this patch was the consequences of the game's changes to the ricochet mechanic, which was reportedly taking out players faster than a Hulk with a flamethrower. At first, it seemed that even explosions were being ricocheted back at players.
After a little bit of detective work from the more level-headed Helldivers 2 fans, it was determined that explosions weren't actually being ricocheted, but that the shrapnel from a certain weapon was rebounding from enemies and instantly killing the person that fired the shot. This was confirmed by Arrowhead itself, and was explained in earlier today.
In the post, Arrowhead explains that the shrapnel that is rebounding from 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the shot of the R-36 Eruptor currently has a high enough damage value to instantly kill a player if it makes contact. That means that if you fire an Eruptor from close range, chances are you're not making it out alive, but there's also the possibility that the shrapnel could cover large distances too, .
Helldivers 2's Deadly Shrapnel Will Be Fixed
Of course, bits of metal flying off and taking out a Helldiver in one blow is an issue, and makes the R-36 Eruptor far too dangerous to comfortably use, so Arrowhead is already working on a fix. It explains that the shrapnel released from the R-36 Eruptor deals almost no damage to the target it's fired at, so the shrapnel effect is going to be removed entirely, with a small bump to the weapon's hit damage to make up for it.
Arrowhead then goes on to stress that explosions aren't ricocheting, contrary to any video "evidence" you may see out there at the moment, and that only bullets from small arms will ricochet off of armor.
There is one exception to the ricochet rule though, and it's bad news for anyone that likes to use the Shield Generator Backpack and the Punisher Plasma in the same kit. It was recently discovered that the game's latest patch has made it so you can no longer fire a Punisher Plasma from inside a shield without blowing yourse🌃lf up, as the weapon's shots won't be able to pass through like standard bullets.
