Does Arrowhead Hate Helldivers? | Balance Discussion

​Is the "Power Fantasy" in Helldivers 2 a lie? Every time Arrowhead releases a patch, the community goes into a frenzy, but I’ve realized the problem goes deeper than just weapon nerfs. ​In this episode, we deconstruct the "Grunt Power Fantasy" and why that term is actually an oxymoron. I dive into the mechanics that the community hates (weapon drag, weight, and ergonomics) and explain why I’ve stopped caring about the meta entirely. ​Instead of nerfing guns, should Arrowhead be evolving the enemies? We discuss lore-based difficulty scaling, the difference between "Pro" players and "Filthy Casuals," and why I find more joy playing with no HUD, no reticle, and less stress.
