Helldivers 2 Is Achieving Something Incredibly Rare

Nearly a month after its launch, Helldivers 2 continues to see incredible success and is now achieving a sales feat that is quite rare.

The Flamethrower appears to be far more powerful now compared to what it used to be before Patch 01.000.100. With there being some complaints from players about Helldivers 2 nerfing weapons in the update that were deemed some of the most popular choices for players, the buff done to the Flamethrower at least looks to be a big upgrade.

Helldivers 2's Upgraded Flamethrower

Thanks to the new patch, the Flamethrower is a weapon many players may want to consider adding to their loadouts. Although it may not be as ammo efficient as the likes of the Railgun, it can clearly take down a pesky Charger in just a matter of seconds. Helldivers 2 can have some incredibly intense combat, and making sure one has the right weapons at their disposal is important. Now that the Flamethrower is a bona fide method of exterminating Terminids, many players will likely have fun experimenting with the weapon.

Despite some players' disappointment with the nerfing of the Railgun and Breaker, seeing the Flamethrower finally reaching its potential is an exciting upgrade that will likely make the weapon a favorite among some players. As the overall goal of the patch was to make the game more balanced, it will be interesting to see how players begin to utilize the Flamethrower, since it's far stronger. The recent patch to Helldivers 2 has added a lot of fun and exciting additions to the game, and although the power of some popular weapons has been downgraded, there may now be room for the Flamethrower to become a go-to weapon.
