Helldivers 2 Devs Aim for Independence and Major Game Enhancements

Johan Pilestedt, former CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, has transitioned to Chief Creative Officer and plans to focus on weapon rebalancing in Helldivers 2. Players have criticized previous weapon nerfs and inconsequential buffs, but Pilestedt aims to address these issues by increasing developer playtime and considering player feedback. Significant changes to weapon damage, armor penetration, and rate of fire are expected, potentially improving the game's balance and player experience.
