Helldivers 2 players agree one weapon needs a serious buff

The intergalactic war of Helldivers 2 rages on, as balancing patches have added new threats, weapons, and soon artillery and tools. And many Helldivers in a recent Reddit thread expressed their hopes for the ARC-12 Blitzer to receive a significant buff in an upcoming patch.

For both bugs and mechs, Helldivers 2 players have heavily favored shotguns as their primary weapon. The ARC-12 Blitzer is undoubtedly among the more interesting additions in the shotgun category. With an unlimited supply of high-voltage electricity arcs, there’s no need to reload or fear of running out of ammo at a crucial time. Still, players on the Helldivers 2 subreddit noted the shotgun has two primary factors limiting its usefulness: fire rate and damage. Compared even to other shotguns, the fire rate of the ARC-12 Blitzer is abysmal and among the slowest in the game.
