Hearing MRAD/milliradians mentioned for the first time by a game developer, and it's not an Arma/Battlefield/COD dev is hilarious. HD2 has literally one of the most realistic terminal ballistics sims of all games and we shoot bugs with it hahaha!
It used to. After they dumbed down the game a lot and gutted all the enemy AP values you have dumb shit like revolvers penetrating thick steel and flames burning what are effectively rock carapaces.
@georgep.2352 but it was all a risk/reward thing. it being able to do jammers has saved me a few times now, or been a really tense suicide run to make sure the rest of my squad doesn't have to die.
I'm desperately hoping for a stealth warbond at some point with armor that is specifically stealth, a backpack that can cloak you, a suppressed pistol, and manually triggered sticky C4 charges, maybe an AOE stratagem like the shield that cloaks everything within it for 30 seconds or something
I want one so bad… and new scout armors… maybe the booster could be increased damage from stealth? So if you silence your pistol or smg and shoot a bot it does double from stealth? Hmm? Maybe? I hope
I just want you guys to know how easy it felt to listen to this. Not to mention the well done visual examples and text editing to keep things organized! Im sure the real patch notes are way bigger but having a video like this that feels simple, focused on the bigs changes while explaining things casuals may not understand and feels like a conversation between two guys that just love Helldivers and not just two guys reading patch notes. I love it!
@AoGbeverage16 It has caused a lot of problems, but it seems like a pretty complex system and it's fun when it's tweaked well. I think the gunplay in HD2 is very unique, which is important when there's so many other shooters around. I remember when I first started and I was hipfiring a Stalwart waiting for the Pelican to arrive, swaying the crosshair from bug to bug and getting the hang of it to the point where I felt unstoppable, not because the gun was OP, but because I was in the zone and it became an extension of me.
"Hey guys, Super Earth is actually in danger this time" "Oh shit, put actual gunpowder in the bullets this time. Also straighten the barrels of everything and give them attachments."
@Always.Smarterit's alot slower in warframe town. There have been years at a time where the community hated everything the devs did. Aka the time between "Its so over" and "were so back" is much faster with helldivers, it's rather impressive.
@Paradox1012 warframe has been going strong for over 12 years, it started from a smaller company and it's now more popular than ever. Arrowhead has yet to prove thmselves after their first year was already filled with controversy, and the first year is the easiest part of any live service games life.
@Always.Smarter eh agree to disagree. some balance hiccups and design stances is what warframe did inbetween 2017-2022 after the 2012-2016 era got its core identity down. Everyone was super hard on the open worlds, railjack and content islands for years because they tried to Overdeliver on promises especially at those times and tried to make warframe diffrent things. All of those systems and places are MUCH MUCH better now because they've started interconnecting,balancing and QOL-ING those areas of the game for 3 years. I don't think arrowhead under deliver because they don't even say what they are working on half the time😂. That's the design Choice of the galactic war though! Surprises are the only way you can do things to keep it interesting. And I'm fine with it, they seem to have worked out a good balance between player power and difficulty at this point.
One of the most ammoying traits about the Incineration Corps was how easy the Conflagration Devastators were able to set you on fire - even 1 stray pellet was enough to ruin your day.
Guys, I don’t think you’ll read this, but I really want to stress. Your love, your effort, and your attention to detail in this game is terrific. I’m a new father this year and I cannot tell you how much of a difference it has made having a chance to jump in a game at level 1-4, help some newbies, and then leave. You’ve made a deeply fulfilling game, and you keep on giving. You’re awesome, and I hope you can all celebrate on a terrific patch! Thanks for what you’ve been doing and for everything to come!
I am an Apex and COD player, and after describing the way it feels to my friends they called it, “Casual Sweaty, the place where a casual player can go to have a sweaty time.”
@BadgunmusicII I get that. I used to be very much into sweaty BFBC2 BF3 and BF4. WZ1 was AMAZING for the gunsmith, and I loved my 458 & 93r custom loadout. This game scratches an itch where I know I don't have to deal with toxicity, RP is welcomed, and play styles can be tailored across 3 enemies. It's as sweaty as you want it to be, and at a lower difficulty the only meta is "fun"! It's amazing.
I would love an option to "show full stats block" on weapons. I would also love to see a shooting range at the DSS for experimentation, especially if we get to have the stat blocks for the enemies with all the details.
11:19 thank you. The incineration corps are broken cuz if you aggro a group of shotgun devastators from a distance you were essentially near permanently set on fire by them 💀
Firefighter mains and burn sickle mains had their moment to really shine in this situation with the fireproof armors, especially those like me who already owned Salamander armor, the premium heavy armor with insulation trait
@jhalilxvii people *really* hated fighting them because they got set on fire literally all the time. And if you got caught close range, the shotgun/shield devastators would just annihilate you. And for people who didn't have the freedoms flame warbond or bought the salamander/firefighter armor from super store they were screwed.
First step for Weapon customisation has been achieved, thank you at AH for giving us hope for more now, the feeling of stagnancy has haunted us for too long.
I had completely forgotten that many laser weapons had the "heat" effect, since the burning damage wasn't great. This sounds very useful - thanks for pointing it out
This is huge, weapon customization along with the progression, makes it that every new weapon has something to progress towards to, and now they can balance it in a way nicer way. HUGE
I just really, REALLY hope this gets expanded to secondaries sooner rather than later, because they need it most of all. 90% of the reason why the Ultimatum was so popular was that it was like the only secondary that actually added something unique to a loadout, while the rest are just bad versions of primaries (And like 1/3 are also just worse versions of _other secondaries_).
@BackwardsPancake Talon and senator or fine. Ultimatum is good. Other ones do need a little something. Go watch the weapon customization video, they made it clear that the system will get more attachments and be expanded upon with new guns in warbonds and stuff.
Agreed, I was hyped to unlock it back when that warbond came out and was immediately disappointed, I wanted that little SMG to be so much more and we’re finally here.
Good work guys. You are slowly crossing off my “still needs” list. Now if we can just get a handful of loadout saves. Oh and bringing in the Angle Dog (healing bot) from HD1 would be a nice addition to HD2.
Obviously the devs have something else in mind, but I was really hoping fire could get more utility against the Automantons. I was hoping for something like an overheating mechanic. Where, setting a bot on fire would do little damage, but maybe fill a “heat” bar, that, if reached a certain threshold (let’s say 70%) could stun the bots till they cool down. And if the bar filled completely they’d just explode or melt or whatever.
I love the Tenderizer and hope one day we get weapon magazine attachments to modify. For instance, 60 round drum mags would be tons of fun like a mini stalwart
So... The Ultimatum can currently take out the center of a jammer base or a detector base on the bot front. If it no longer does this, I doubt I will take this weapon anymore.
Exactly, switching from spread accuracy chance to sway you can actually use the skill of a player’s aim to make use of the new sway accuracy to mitigate and like they said pre-read the inaccuracy of your weapon to line up your shots, it’s how it actually should be and I’m happy about it.
It's annoying but also kind of a good problem to have, when you think about it. The HD2 community is so huge and excited about the game, that there's money to be made even with low-effort clickbait garbage.
It makes sense but God damn it hurts. One mission there were 2 jammers close by so I just lob 2 ultimatum and done, otherwise I would have to clear each before getting hellbomb down. I was hoping it would at least give us one more ammo in the pocket in exchange for reduce firepower.
@antonioball8549Yep, now deals 1.5K less overall damage with a smaller AOE and can no longer take out things such as Jammers I think they went too harsh on it with this one
All those tiny lil' things I've been crying over at the Armory have been adressed, and that's just the tiny part of the patch? Man, fucking love you guys! Best devs out there 😚
They are more accurate, it's just that you have sway while moving. The bullet wouldn't spread from where you shoot it- but it's harder to get it to shoot where you want in stressful situations.
@aaronwalsh8469 no it doesnt?? every thing in the game has a sound/heat radius. that's the only thing that would need to change AI won't even need to be touched
@Volfur2251 really? So field of view doesn’t matter? If someone takes a hit to the head right in front of you , you’re going to react. If they are behind you and you don’t hear anything, you won’t.
Really cool to see these patch note update videi being made into videos. Makes it feel more personal plus we get to see what the devs think about the changes a bit.
Nah @Peagaporto, it kinda makes sense from their perspective. We love it cus it makes something convenient, but they want the jammers and such to NOT be trivialized by it, they want to maintain those as challenges. It sucks, but it does make sense from their angle.
@DropDownBear It doesnt because any challenge can be trivialized with the right loadout. Hulks get trivialized by thermites, etc. Its a weapon that is not that useful outside of that niche it waas doing.
6.1gb its a decent update chunk, then it has to allocate into the rest of the 80gb game, taking me like 15-20 minutes with decent internet which would take less than 8...
@zemufinman nah its still good on bots when you need to kill one morbillion factory striders and tanks and you need a quick boom. Or bile titan bug holes. You can just bring portable hellbomb to stratagem jammer so IDC.

What a great comment. Thank you.
Poor Pilestedt really suffered through that callout at the end. He hated doing that. Here's a like and a comment for your troubles
Hearing MRAD/milliradians mentioned for the first time by a game developer, and it's not an Arma/Battlefield/COD dev is hilarious. HD2 has literally one of the most realistic terminal ballistics sims of all games and we shoot bugs with it hahaha!
Love your vids
Do I sense a new Helldivers video in the works after this update? 👀
Goaterator Dawgski
It used to. After they dumbed down the game a lot and gutted all the enemy AP values you have dumb shit like revolvers penetrating thick steel and flames burning what are effectively rock carapaces.
oh shit drewski!
Pilestadt doing a disappointed dad facepalm at the Ultimatum being described as a grenade with the damage profile of a 380 is everything
Yeah I don’t get why it had to be made like that, it was already a strategically balanced weapon with limited munitions.
@Mo-ph4pp I loved it too , but having a secondary that can one shot stratagem jammers is op and its easy to find munition in the game
@georgep.2352 you and everyone like you ruin this game
@bmbmw69 nah the weapon was egregiously OP. Screw you, genuinely.
@georgep.2352 but it was all a risk/reward thing. it being able to do jammers has saved me a few times now, or been a really tense suicide run to make sure the rest of my squad doesn't have to die.
Oh man, with attachments on the table "suppressors in a stealth warbond" suddenly feels.... On the table.... I AM EXCITED FOR THE FUTURE
I'm desperately hoping for a stealth warbond at some point with armor that is specifically stealth, a backpack that can cloak you, a suppressed pistol, and manually triggered sticky C4 charges, maybe an AOE stratagem like the shield that cloaks everything within it for 30 seconds or something
I want one so bad… and new scout armors… maybe the booster could be increased damage from stealth? So if you silence your pistol or smg and shoot a bot it does double from stealth? Hmm? Maybe? I hope
I like the idea, but I also hope for bayonet attachments.
My pants are thoroughly shat
That Flame change is an incredibly smart Design choice
I just want you guys to know how easy it felt to listen to this. Not to mention the well done visual examples and text editing to keep things organized! Im sure the real patch notes are way bigger but having a video like this that feels simple, focused on the bigs changes while explaining things casuals may not understand and feels like a conversation between two guys that just love Helldivers and not just two guys reading patch notes. I love it!
Yeah, the way they do these videos is the new BAR imo
The realistic weapon mechanics has always been one of the greatest things about HD
I’d argue that’s caused them the most problems in the last year aka nerfs
Most games that have that are always rough in the beginning. It seems to be getting better an infinite ammount recently@AoGbeverage16
@AoGbeverage16 It has caused a lot of problems, but it seems like a pretty complex system and it's fun when it's tweaked well.

Realistic? Like fire not staggering and blinding enemies?
@cryptidvideo777 too bad they ruined it because of crybabies. Took all the fun out of the game when everything now works on everything.
super earth weapon developers while the illuminate are attacking:
arent we just eradicated them?
@solyom8034I got bad news for you boss
@solyom8034 You're not gonna believe this
"Hey guys, Super Earth is actually in danger this time"
"Oh shit, put actual gunpowder in the bullets this time. Also straighten the barrels of everything and give them attachments."
@solyom8034 No, we killed their initial harassment force. They're "back"
I've never experienced this type of relationship between a game and the game developers. You guys are INCREDIBLE.
It's hard not to mention that Digital Extremes has been doing it for over a decade
@Always.Smarter digital extremes are indeed in the category of « keeps winning » alongside steam and fromsoftware .
@Always.Smarterit's alot slower in warframe town. There have been years at a time where the community hated everything the devs did. Aka the time between "Its so over" and "were so back" is much faster with helldivers, it's rather impressive.

You probably do that on a daily basis. 😂 hope I never dangle keys in front of you 😂
@Flamme-Sanabi yessir, have been serving since the first galactic war
I love when he says “when u use flamethrowers u pour gasoline ok somebody or something….well not somebody”
Not anymore. It might have happened in the past, but we try not to think about that. :)
ERUPTOR MAINS KEEP WINNING 🎉🎉🎉 ALL NINE OF US 🎉🎉🎉
There’s at least 12 of us now after this update my friend !
SES Simp of Eruptor reporting in !
Yeaaaah my favorite bug primary!
I'm happy for you guys.
Really truly.

I too appreciate the F outa you boys! Keep up the good work!
Buffing fire to be stronger against bigger enemies? Napalm barrage, here we go again.
It never left my belt.
Flammes............
So beautiful!
I would love an option to "show full stats block" on weapons.
I would also love to see a shooting range at the DSS for experimentation, especially if we get to have the stat blocks for the enemies with all the details.
Yea a testing range would be huge so I don’t have to drop into a mission just to test gear
Please don't forget the support weapons for this, I'd like to have as much information as possible inside the game.
given the new attention on bullet drag, it might be cool to introduce modifiers on planets related to air density, which increase or decrease drag.
1 million percent. The variety of enviroments should be leaned into and made more unique in differences between them
Agreed
I just want planets with different gravities...
That's a good point. Some planets look like the surface of the moon. You need an atmosphere to have drag.
@toastermon2272 that would be awesome as well, it would impact gameplay in so many ways!
The indirect incineration corps nerf made me shout in joy, specifically that damn fire shotgun. It’s enough to make a helldiver cry.
11:19 thank you. The incineration corps are broken cuz if you aggro a group of shotgun devastators from a distance you were essentially near permanently set on fire by them 💀
Firefighter mains and burn sickle mains had their moment to really shine in this situation with the fireproof armors, especially those like me who already owned Salamander armor, the premium heavy armor with insulation trait
Operator Divers taking out IC before they can aggro because skill.
Honestly I thought the Incineration Corps were fine but I guess we'll see how this all pans out.
@jhalilxvii people *really* hated fighting them because they got set on fire literally all the time. And if you got caught close range, the shotgun/shield devastators would just annihilate you. And for people who didn't have the freedoms flame warbond or bought the salamander/firefighter armor from super store they were screwed.
It was stupid how the strayest of strays would kill you if you were even grazed and slightly low, you would just get set on fire at random sometimes
Such excellent decisions with the shrapnel and fire changes. I can't wait to see it in game.
Flametroopers are eating well with this one. Thanks Arrowhead!
NEED A LIGHT!?!? 😂
@thathandsomedevil0828 I'll give you a whole campfire!
When we getting a shooting rang on our ships so we can test weapons before going into battle?!
Man I always thought something was up with the automatons, that reload glitch is nuts.
First step for Weapon customisation has been achieved, thank you at AH for giving us hope for more now, the feeling of stagnancy has haunted us for too long.
The new fire buff, the laser cannon is amazing now
Holy crap i didnt even think about that… i was so tunneled on flame throwers.
I was looking to see if someone tested this.
I can confirm. Squids now take less time to be made well done.
I had completely forgotten that many laser weapons had the "heat" effect, since the burning damage wasn't great. This sounds very useful - thanks for pointing it out
This new channel of communication is very appreciated. Thanks for the efforts in reaching better to the playerbase.
It’s good to see you Piles!
Y'all should make videos like this during every major patch notes! I love to hear the developers thoughts on it!
This is huge, weapon customization along with the progression, makes it that every new weapon has something to progress towards to, and now they can balance it in a way nicer way. HUGE
I just really, REALLY hope this gets expanded to secondaries sooner rather than later, because they need it most of all.

@BackwardsPancake Talon and senator or fine. Ultimatum is good. Other ones do need a little something. Go watch the weapon customization video, they made it clear that the system will get more attachments and be expanded upon with new guns in warbonds and stuff.
"you put gasoline on someone..." 8:34
Thank you for the reprimand buff. Its a pretty underutilized weapon coz of the spread
Agreed, I was hyped to unlock it back when that warbond came out and was immediately disappointed, I wanted that little SMG to be so much more and we’re finally here.
I learned to work with it. Bugs, the spread didn't matter.
Justice for the Reprimand!
The gun lays down damage, but the magazine burns out right quick.
@BaneOfXistence4that's the sub machine gun right? I just cope by shooting in very, tight, bursts.
What, you didn’t like rolling a dice every time you fired at a devastator to instantly kill it? :p
Good work guys. You are slowly crossing off my “still needs” list. Now if we can just get a handful of loadout saves. Oh and bringing in the Angle Dog (healing bot) from HD1 would be a nice addition to HD2.
HE IS BACK
"So we fixed that, so now it just shoots more" 18:55 ... Thanks guys, we needed that 😂
the Pile Titan is back baby!
My boy just chilling in his socks, truly a chill guy😎
My pants weren't ready
Obviously the devs have something else in mind, but I was really hoping fire could get more utility against the Automantons.
I was hoping for something like an overheating mechanic. Where, setting a bot on fire would do little damage, but maybe fill a “heat” bar, that, if reached a certain threshold (let’s say 70%) could stun the bots till they cool down. And if the bar filled completely they’d just explode or melt or whatever.
Lovely to see you guys on the sofa together again
Seriously! Better brimance than tony stark and steve Roger’s even.
I love that they are constantly making logical adjustments. I’m really looking forward to using the new eruptor
Need Super Earth approved pants for all divers now
15:54 it would be really helpful if you could add in a subsection under dmg that splits projectile and explosive dmg numbers.
19:39 holy shit the troopers were actually COD players x)
I like the fire damage scaling with surface area!
Eruptor buffs are huge, I may start using it as much as the counter sniper
My Shats have been panted
I just hit level 150 two days ago! Thought I had nothing more to progress, this is sick !
love watching these sm, actually makes the patch notes so engaging. A dedicated team and always great to see pilestedt
I love the Tenderizer and hope one day we get weapon magazine attachments to modify.
For instance, 60 round drum mags would be tons of fun like a mini stalwart
This is a great to watch well waiting for the update to finish!
So... The Ultimatum can currently take out the center of a jammer base or a detector base on the bot front. If it no longer does this, I doubt I will take this weapon anymore.
2:27 reprimand buff is huge. Makes the weapon actually playable and very very good especially if you can up its ammo count
Exactly, switching from spread accuracy chance to sway you can actually use the skill of a player’s aim to make use of the new sway accuracy to mitigate and like they said pre-read the inaccuracy of your weapon to line up your shots, it’s how it actually should be and I’m happy about it.
Can’t wait to play around with the reprimand after these changes
It actually functions like a gun now. Praise be to
Wish the reprimand had the drum mag option as well
Reprimand specialist here. This sounds more like nerf to me buddy.
Ultimatum was mostly used for its demolition strength...
The jump pack working properly again, is the best News of the day. The only question that remains. When Space Battles?😄
Welp so much for using the ultimatum on jammers i feel hurt that it got nerfed
This was awesome, but I'm going to hate all the bazillion helldivers news channels reword this to death
It's annoying but also kind of a good problem to have, when you think about it. The HD2 community is so huge and excited about the game, that there's money to be made even with low-effort clickbait garbage.
Game so good that there's profit from talking about a game being that good
I only brought the ultimatum for jammers and towers…. Bummer
The reprimand will be really good now
the spiked helmet should do damage when you dive into an enemy
Saw that Ultimatum nerf coming, but it doesn't hurt any less. :')
Thank you so much for this amazing patch!
It makes sense but God damn it hurts. One mission there were 2 jammers close by so I just lob 2 ultimatum and done, otherwise I would have to clear each before getting hellbomb down. I was hoping it would at least give us one more ammo in the pocket in exchange for reduce firepower.
Yeah, this sucks.
Wait can it no longer take out jammers
@antonioball8549Yep, now deals 1.5K less overall damage with a smaller AOE and can no longer take out things such as Jammers
I think they went too harsh on it with this one
@antonioball8549 no
Question: does fortified armor stack with recoil reducing attachments?
Excited to test all the changes, love the eruptor!
The Arrowhead Duo~!
The Retired King and the Royal Knight. :D
All those tiny lil' things I've been crying over at the Armory have been adressed, and that's just the tiny part of the patch? Man, fucking love you guys! Best devs out there 😚

Freedoms flame is looking like the best warbond now. Yes! My beloved flam-66 torcher is bigger and better than ever. Pyro divers unite!
As a fresh pyrodiver,I adore these changes!
@megismies101 Welcome to the club fellow diver!
Flame Drop Pod buff LET'S GOOO!! 😈
20:45 heavy jetpack users will never forget the year of the snake!!!
The shitting of pants commenced, just as the prophecies fortold
I did notice a difference with the eruptor, feeling more consistent damage-wise. It's nice to see what the change was.
Thank You All.
Take care and Be well.
Can we fix crossplay connectivity? Still disconnecting multiple times a night while crossplay is enabled
That accuracy thing with pistols explains the difficulty I've had with shooting down shriekers with my sidearm!!!
They are more accurate, it's just that you have sway while moving. The bullet wouldn't spread from where you shoot it- but it's harder to get it to shoot where you want in stressful situations.
Guys im really happy no complaints here. I’m just BEGGING for the next attachment to be a suppressor pls
They probably havnt added suppressors because that involves adjusting the enemy AI.
@aaronwalsh8469 no it doesnt?? every thing in the game has a sound/heat radius. that's the only thing that would need to change AI won't even need to be touched
@Volfur2251 really? So field of view doesn’t matter? If someone takes a hit to the head right in front of you , you’re going to react. If they are behind you and you don’t hear anything, you won’t.
He’s right it would be an easy addition. All they do is set that weapon fire to silent and boom it’s suppressed
Stealth warbond!
Great seeing you both! Keep up the good work and thanks for what you do!
PANTS HAVE BEEN SHAT
17:10 mfw the Super Earth weapons teams start talking about the changes they made to the alien filth
3:00 thats massive holy
Very excited to try out the buffed flame weapons
The Eruptor is back again
Nice i can try out my fire build again but even better 😎
watching while i update the game, so excited to try it out
The ARC THROWER was saved from any nerfs. Yay! 😁
You guys freakin rock. Thanks devs.
Yeah, it's really fun. Thanks to the entire team for all your hard work!
Pilestedt is back!!!
Really cool to see these patch note update videi being made into videos. Makes it feel more personal plus we get to see what the devs think about the changes a bit.
It’s been real ultimatum. My use case was only for clearing jammers and detector towers
This nerf changes my whole load out
They have a weird gripe against the ultimatum.
Nah @Peagaporto, it kinda makes sense from their perspective. We love it cus it makes something convenient, but they want the jammers and such to NOT be trivialized by it, they want to maintain those as challenges. It sucks, but it does make sense from their angle.
@DropDownBear It doesnt because any challenge can be trivialized with the right loadout. Hulks get trivialized by thermites, etc. Its a weapon that is not that useful outside of that niche it waas doing.
To be honest it was indeed a bit broken. Now its more like a pocket 500KG against enemy groups instead a bunker buster.
This was super helpful, thanks!
Rocking the socks, love it!
Awesome changes! Can't wait to get the squad together!
I'm keeping myself busy watching this as my game updates. DAMN YOU SLOW INTERNET!
I have lightning fast internet and it’s still going slow.
6.1gb its a decent update chunk, then it has to allocate into the rest of the 80gb game, taking me like 15-20 minutes with decent internet which would take less than 8...
You realize watching this video on the same Internet connection makes your download even slower, right?
I’m loving the visual examples
Not my ultimatum 😂😢😢😢 17:17
NOOO ITS ONE USE CASE!
Rip ultimatum 5/13/25
@zemufinman nah its still good on bots when you need to kill one morbillion factory striders and tanks and you need a quick boom. Or bile titan bug holes. You can just bring portable hellbomb to stratagem jammer so IDC.
All sounds great! I really like the fire and incendiary changes!
We hadn't even left, yet we're so fckn back
I can definitely notice why my gunplay felt different and to see how yall put more into it definitely makes sense. Incredible update.
Im glad theyve adressed the issues wjth the eruptor. Havent used it since the 180 change.
If you touch the Eruptor, I swear . . .
[Post-watch edit] You save your selves and made an AWESOME job.
changes to shrapnel will affect Eruptor
