Helldivers 2's first big balance patch targets the game's most OP weapons with ammo and armor piercing deductions

Helldivers 2's first big balance patch is out today, and it's bringing adjustments to the two most overpowered and commonly used weapons in the entire game.

So far, the Breaker shotgun and Railgun Stratagem have chiefly been used as two of the better weapons in Helldivers 2. Plenty of players use the two weapons because of their superior firepower and armor penetration, leading to them being largely dubbed as "overpowered" by the Helldivers 2 player base.

Today, March 6, developer Arrowhead has released the first full Helldivers 2 balance patch, as seen in the tweet below. Primarily, the patch notes explain that "adjustments" have been made to various primary, secondary, and support weapons, including the Breaker shotgun and Railgun Stratagem.
