After getting dizzy in the main form, Helldivers 2’s Bile Titan-killing six-shooter has now sent audiences through each level of the Kübler-Ross-style upgrade response.

The actual Helldivers 2 update, Pocket 01.001.104, brought with it a dozen weapon tweaks, but few have discovered more talk at the moment than the upgrade to the Senator P-4, a double-action revolver, which was later supercharged, has grown. to turn a dozen Tremendous Earthers into wannabe John Waynes.

As part of the space, the weapon had a higher armor penetration of 3 to 4, a higher projectile damage of 175 to 200 and a stronger projectile damage of 35 to 70. The result? Cleverly, with the ability to use it to take out Bile Titans in just a few shots, take out some helmets too when you’re at it, and a cascade of memes about it being the best noon in the entire galaxy.

However, that was only level one. Over the course of a couple of days, the Helldivers 2 subreddit has allowed players to discover progressing through several alternative steps of what I call the Kübler-Ross-style improvement response, or the four levels of grief.

Level Two began shortly after that initial burst of honor, with some other people thinking, “Okay, hold your horses now, maybe those changes have made the Senator a little uncomfortable.” also dominated’. “I love the feeling you get when you see a gall titan appear, it’s that ‘HOLY SHIT WHAT ARE WE DOING, WHAT CAN WE THROW AT THIS MONSTER??!!’ moment,” wrote one, “However, now with Al being some lifeless revolver shots, I just don’t feel the same fear and surprise when I see a gall titan. “It’s too fragile.”

Next, level 3 was Reddit’s equivalent of the Twitter phenomenon of ‘retweeting to dunk something you think is dumb’ (which, to be honest, automatically produces some very funny posts), with posts saying to The few who had suggested that the gun might be too OP and were in fact very wrong, thank you very much.

“In my opinion, it’s not broken, I honestly think it’s fine,” the type of people argued, “Using it versus [armour penetration four] Enemies (besides Hulks) is a pipe dream because the damage isn’t high enough. It simply helps you do more damage in your intended medium clearing role, with some anti-heavy utility.” They then reviewed several alternative weapons, outlining their ideas that each of them nonetheless had causes that you would present for them over the Senator in positive eventualities.

Level 4, or 4 and 5, depending on how you want to classify things, follows that maximum level. Will this transformation of the senator have something ruthless when it comes to adjustments to weapons and alternative strategies in the future? Some other people think so, arguing that number one weapons like the Slugger and Dominator will probably need to increase the pententation of their armor to prove it.

Others, apparently with a dozen additional reinforcements, argued that if they refuse, Arrowhead will no longer have to do this. “Make any primary weapon [except for the flamethrowers and Constitution] “Having AP4 would outperform any other main weapon,” one wrote, “it would shut down certain loadouts because “why snatch x weapon when you have a weapon that can AT?”, hell, it would even overshadow some support weapons that really should never happen. ”

The end of this back and forth, at least for now, seems to be some people concluding that the only weapons likely to be given stage 4 AP are the Eruptor or possibly “something like an actual bolt action.” -action sniper”.

And, since all that has been going on, it seems that the divers have still managed to take over in the first series that has just been completed. Excellent.
