Helldivers 2 CEO Addresses Dev Behavior and Gun Balancing Issues

Helldivers 2 game director Johan Pilestedt defends the recent balance patch changes to the RS-422 railgun, stating that it was always meant to be a risk/reward weapon for high-tier play, akin to a sniper rifle with the potential to harm the user. Despite some player confusion, Pilestedt clarifies that the railgun's armor penetration was decreased, emphasizing the need to charge the gun to its limit for maximum effectiveness. Additionally, the game will see adjustments to reduce the annoyance of heavily armored enemies.
