Helldivers 2 players are convinced the Railgun was secretly nerfed this week

As Helldivers across the globe stared at the black screens and server caps all weekend, a player found a different reason to be frustrated—the nerf bat. Killing enemies in Helldivers 2 has always been rough, but it seems Arrowhead Game Studios wants Railguns to be worse at it.

“Railgun no longer seems to be 2-shotting Bile Titans as of yesterday,” Steam user Remalgigoran said. “I went from wrecking these things all week to them requiring 7-10 hits overnight.” This post came alongside a general patch addressing game optimization, matchmaking issues, and adjusting the balance for higher-difficulty missions. During testing, we found this is likely true—the Railgun has had its wings clipped through a bug fix or a straight nerf.
