Arrowhead Balancing Helldivers 2 Weapons Based on Mission Success, Not Just Kill Counts
-
Arrowhead Studios is working on a weapons balance patch for Helldivers 2, but higher kill rates don't directly correlate with mission success.
-
CEO Johan Pilestedt says the Breaker shotgun scores more kills but isn't overrepresented in successful missions.
-
Weapons have 46 hidden stats that affect balance beyond the 4 main ones displayed.
-
Pilestedt encourages using whichever weapon you like rather than min-maxing.

Arrowhead was focused on fixing server issues but can now address other improvements like new mechs and AI.
