A new update toHelldivers 2has given players more options when choosing which weapons to use during missions. Though a good amount of equipment has been buffed inHelldivers 2, those who have seen the bigger power boosts seem to be the ones related to flames.
Weapons such as theFLAM-66 Torcherfrom theFreedom’s Flame Warbondand others with flame-related aspects have been given a damage increase and can now set things on fire quicker, making them more enjoyable to wield than ever before. However, it’s because of how good these buffs are that the release of the new Warbond is curious as its focus shifts to an entirely different means of taking down enemies.
The Chemical Agents Warbond Has Come Too Soon to Helldivers 2
There was excitement forthe new Chemical Agents Warbondand its new additions to gameplay will be interesting to see develop in the next few days. That said, it will come at the cost of overshadowing the recent fire damage trend:
How the New Warbond and the Flame Damage Buffs Can Work Together
If the buffs to fire in themassive SeptemberHelldivers 2updateare going to continue to stand out,Helldivers 2can choose to have flame and gas work as one instead. One of the ways to do so is by making the Terminids or Automatons more susceptible to catching on fire when exposed to the toxic gas, dealing even more damage than if they were lit up regularly. This way, the game retains the fire damage trend while promoting the new Warbond.
It’s up to individual players to decide if Chemical Agents is now one of thebest Warbonds inHelldivers 2, but regardless it doesn’t mean it should suddenly cast aside the very recent fire damage trend. Arrowhead could push more stratagems or weapons for its flame-encompassing meta, or at least have it work in tandem with the new gas-based weaponry to ensure gameplay retains its exciting and enjoyable state.
