Baldur's Gate 3 has introduced some major new game-changing features, but the one that has the potential to be the most transformative won't be found in any patch notes for the game. After a long wait, the fresh additions and tweaks to Baldur's Gate 3 come courtesy of Patch 7, which released on September 5 for PC and is set to come to consoles in short order. Many of the changes focus on bugs and improvements to animations, scripting, and more, but new content like extra evil endings and Honour Mode boss reworks are more immediately exciting.

Helldivers 2 received a shot in the arm this week with the release of update 01.001.100, a patch that completely reworked ******* balance, added a new Galactic War feature, and made loads more changes aimed at making the PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter easier and more fun. The update came after a troubling ******* for the game and for developer Arrowhead that saw its disgruntled playerbase complain that nerfs had gone too far and as a result had stripped the fun out of Helldivers 2. Early indications are that this latest patch has brought fans back on-side, and even sparked a modest increase in concurrent players on Steam (Sony does not make PlayStation player numbers publicly available). But now, after complaining that Helldivers 2 offered too tough of a challenge, or, more specifically, did not provide players with the right tools to reasonably face touch challenges in the game, some of Helldivers 2’s most ********* fans are saying the game is too easy. Creative director Johan Pilestedt took to social media to ask fans what they thought of the Helldivers 2 patch, and a recurring theme was that the game perhaps needs an even ******* difficulty level, given how easy it had become overnight. Maybe a tad too easy? — Pilestedt (@Pilestedt) September 18, 2024 “We are going to look at the challenge of the game for those high tier players, it's in the pipe,” Pilestedt confirmed. Then, in response to one fan who said, “Everything is great but we need a new ******* difficulty now,” Pilestedt replied: “I agree!” Arrowhead now faces the prospect of having successfully tweaked Helldivers 2 for the majority of its playerbase, but also having to provide that rock hard challenge for its ********* fans. A rock hard difficulty should help. It just didn't feel enjoyable or believable to hit a Charger with an RR and it brushing it off. One fan wondered why Helldivers 2 players didn't simply play on easier difficulties rather than complaining about the game or leaving it behind (a comment that disregards the fact that some of Helldivers 2's most coveted resources are locked behind the ******* difficulties). "Now any level is a walk in the park," they said. "Even big bugs get thrashed sooo fast, it's kinda sad." Pilestedt's reply to this got to the heart of the problem with Helldivers 2 pre-patch: "Right, It's because it just didn't feel enjoyable or believable to hit a Charger with an RR and it brushing it off." What Arrowhead is unlikely to do is return to drastically nerfing Helldivers 2’s stratagems and weapons, given that’s what got the game into trouble in the first place. “I swear to **** if yall start nerfing this stuff…,” worried one fan. “Agree,” Pilestedt replied. “Especially when it comes to damage; nerfing is an unimaginative way of tweaking a game.” Helldivers 2’s next Premium Warbond, dubbed Chemical Agents, launches tomorrow, September 19. While Chemical Agents does not include any new weapons, it adds two stratagem variants — the TX-41 Sterilizer, which lets you spray a gas at the Terminids and Automatons, and the Guard Dog's ‘Dog Breath,’ which is a corrosive gas sprayer — and, in keeping with the alien exterminator theme, the G-4 Gas grenade, which covers the whole area in a cloud of noxious fumes. Arrowhead will be hoping update 01.001.100 is the first step on Helldivers 2’s road to recovery, a road that will keep the game going for years to come. Wesley is the *** News Editor for IGN.

Knowing the proper key terms of your weapons can make a huge difference for your combat playstyle in Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2. Several weapons list Fencing as their defensive style, and you might be wondering what this means, and how it works. ******* defense describes how your defense works as a character, and what you can expect to do when attempting to deflect oncoming melee attacks. Fencing is one of the more fluid choices, but it does typically mean you’re giving up increased defense for less power. If it helps you live, though, it can be a huge difference. Here’s what you need to know about how Fencing works in Space Marine 2. View the full article

If you’re wondering what a hitscan ******* in Fortnite is, chances are you’ve just run into the long-running hitscan vs. projectile debate and aren’t sure which side to pick. As complex as it sounds, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Almost every ******* in Fortnite (excluding snipers) embraced the hitscan mechanic until Chapter Five, which, much to the horror of several veteran players, introduced the projectile sand drop concepts. Since then, fans have been divided on whether Epic should bring back hitscan or continue with projectile bullets in the seasons to come. View the full article
