After a turbulent period marked by community outrage over balancing issues, space third-person shooter Helldivers 2 has received the massive 1.001.100 patch.
The Helldivers 2 1.001.100 update includes one of the game's largest patch notes, but the bulk of it concerns weapons and balancing.
The two most anticipated changes are major
FLAM-40 Flamethrower and 
RS-422 Railgunbuffs.
Flamers now work as they did before the Escalation of Freedom patch, and railgun damage, up to 225 from 60.
Alongside this, all Stratagems deal more damage, and most enemies have had their health pools and armor nerfed.
Other noteworthy entries are laser cannons no longer having recoil, which is in tune with their energy weapon category, and the 
G-123 Thermite Grenade getting a twenty-fold damage increase.
Arrowhead hopes this patch and the changes made will be a turning point for the game's fate. As it hasn't been the easiest ride in recent months.
