After backlash from some players, Helldivers 2 will be making changes to the spawn rate and health of heavy enemies. The most recent update for Helldivers 2 came with the intention of balancing gameplay, but the rate of heavy enemies has made things quite difficult for some players.

This week, Helldivers 2 received a big update with the addition of Patch 01.000.100, but the patch has proven to be a little divisive among players. On the one hand, the Flamethrower has received a major buff, but on the other hand, the Railgun, Breaker, and Shield Generator Backpack have all been nerfed, upsetting many players who use the items in their loadouts. Despite the update’s purpose being balancing the overall experience of missions, some players have been frustrated with the changes. One of the biggest complaints is in regard to the spawn rate of heavy enemies, as they have become overwhelming for some players, but a change appears to be on its way.

Upcoming Changes To Heavy Enemies

Although the statement in Discord mentioned that an official date for the hot fix is unknown, as of now, Helldivers 2 developers are going to be working on the spawn rate and overall health of these heavy enemies, so missions don’t become so overwhelming. Arrowhead Game Studio’s addressing of the issue made it clear that the studio is focused on making gameplay as balanced and fair for players as possible. Despite there not being a set date for the hotfix, the urgency of the issue hopefully means that the fix will be coming soon.

Despite these spawn rate issues being frustrating for some players, Patch 01.000.100 has brought some new and exciting features to Helldivers 2 that players can enjoy. Planetary hazards, like fire tornadoes, and the new and improved Flamethrower have been exciting improvements to the overall gameplay of Helldivers 2. Arrowhead Game Studios has crafted a really special experience, and bumps along the road will be inevitable as the game grows, but the studio’s willingness to listen to player feedback is a good sign that things will eventually get back on track.
