Helldivers 2 Dev to Patch the Eruptor After Community Investigation Reveals Ricochet and Shrapnel Issue

Arrowhead, the developer of Helldivers 2, has acknowledged issues with the Eruptor weapon after community feedback highlighted an unintended lethal shrapnel effect. The upcoming patch will remove this effect but increase the weapon's direct hit damage, aiming to keep it effective while safer for players. This adjustment follows a recent update that altered ricochet mechanics, which led to player confusion and unintended deaths from their own projectiles. Arrowhead thanked the community for their diligent feedback and investigative efforts.
