Helldivers 2 Fans Rollback Updates and Go Back to the More Fun Versions of the Game in Ultimate Protest
For the fans who miss how Helldivers 2 used to be, a player has presented a potential solution to make the game enjoyable again.
- The last few months have not been the most ideal for Helldivers 2, as plenty of issues keep plaguing the game.
- Looking back at the title's glory days, one member of the community has taken it upon themselves to find a fix.
- While Arrowhead Game Studios keeps launching new patches, its fanbase is fine with downgrading the title to better times.
The creativity levels of the Helldivers 2 community remain unmatched in the world of modern video games, which can sometimes prove to be an amazing trait for Arrowhead Game Studios to piggyback off of, but there are times when it works against everything that the developer has been up to for the past few months.
With more than enough players dissatisfied with the direction that the Johan Pilestedt-led team has been taking recently, including new patches that have been destroying the fun in the hopes of taking care of balancing issues in the game, Super Earth’s soldiers are quite frustrated with the lack of action from the developer’s side. Of course, the natural course of action felt like the Helldivers taking matters into their own hands as they try to tackle the situation in a way that Arrowhead may never have expected.
Helldivers 2 Players Have Had Enough of Arrowhead Game Studios’ Lack of Action
While Arrowhead Game Studios has been trying its best to divert its player base’s attention by launching the biggest Helldivers 2 update and Freedom’s Flame Warbond just a few days away from one another, some members of the community have been tinkering with the game with the goal of bringing the entertainment levels back to its players.
It turns out that the gamers who are not necessarily too fond of the wide variety of issues that have been plaguing the title for months can actually take things back to a simpler time and ensure that the joy returns to a game that used to have a lot of potential before all the balance patches. While Helldivers 2 was launched in its vanilla state all the way back in February, things started going south a few months later, becoming increasingly glaring from the beginning of May.
Fortunately, sharing their newly found discovery with the rest of the player base, one soldier of Super Earth’s forces revealed that players actually have the option of downgrading Helldivers 2 to its glory days, which ended around April 29.
Accidentally stumbling across this idea and then going down the rabbit hole, the player shared that thanks to DepotDownloader, the community can play Helldivers 2 the way it used to be before the plethora of patches that Arrowhead bestowed upon it in recent months.
Naturally, the latest Warbonds and the recently added content will not be available to access through this method, but for players who appreciated the time when the game used to be at its absolute best, everything else seems to work perfectly fine.
While Arrowhead Keeps Delaying the Balance Fixes, the Fans Are Bringing the Fun Back to the Game
Similar to how other fanbases miss plenty of aspects from previous builds of their favorite titles, such as Fortnite OG 2’s potential release already garnering positive reception, the Arrowhead Game Studios player base has also been looking back at everything that made the title so enjoyable in the first place.
The only difference is that the other games usually go on for years before their players start demanding a rollback to better times, while it has only been a few months for Helldivers 2 to force its fanbase’s hand at taking drastic measures.
As the community excitedly dubs the older build of the game “Helldivers 2 Classic” and “Old School Helldivers 2,” it is definitely interesting to witness how the players are making their thoughts quite clear regarding Arrowhead’s recent shenanigans.
The protests among the Helldivers 2 player base have begun to get a bit more frequent than the developer may like, but if Johan Pilestedt and his team do not cater to community feedback properly, it does not seem like the trend is going to end anytime soon.
