Helldivers 2 is currently recovering from its orbital bombardment by negative reviews and has introduced a new patch aiming to rebalance the game more following its recent big balance update. Not all changes were well received, though, with one popular ******* causing division among players.

The ******* in question is the R-36 Eruptor, a rifle loaded with explosive rounds that used to have a ton of shrapnel splattering around, decimating nearby bots or bugs. The shrapnel mechanic was so strong players were advised not to ****** directly at enemies, but at the ground around them, since it would do much more damage. However, a side effect of said shrapnel was that players would often find themselves in the blast radius, and get ******* in the process. Since it was causing a ton of disruption in matches where players were spamming the Eruptor left and right, Arrowhead decided to remove the shrapnel altogether and buff its damage—a decision some say ruined the *******.
