"Helldivers 2 Devs Address Player Concerns Over Weapon Mechanics and Bugs"
Helldivers 2 developer Alexus Kravchenko explains that some game mechanics, like two-person weapons, may not be viable at the game's highest difficulties and are meant for "lulz and roleplay." Players have raised concerns about the downsides of these weapons, such as sacrificing strategem slots and vulnerability to attacks, but the developer acknowledges these issues without committing to urgent fixes. The game's philosophy seems to prioritize player choice over a strict meta, and while some mechanics may not work in every situation, players recently received a free Malevelon Creek cape in the game.
