Helldivers 2 has touched the peak of its popularity within a few weeks after its release. Though mostly this game has received positive opinions from players and critics, still a few issues bother players constantly and they have been expressing several demands. Recently, Arrowhead released the first balanced update of the game, but this update didn’t satisfy players as the developers have nerfed the most powerful gun of the game, Railgun. This nerf has substantially affected the entire meta. While fans haven’t yet gotten over this nerf, a player has come up with a new melee demand that he wants the developers to hear.

A Helldivers 2 Player has Placed a Unique Demand on Reddit Saying He Won’t Stop Otherwise


Being one of the most anticipated games of this year, Helldivers 2 has matched the expectations of the fans. However, a few bugs and errors still remained that Arrowhead tried to solve in the first balanced update. Though the latest update has brought new content, it didn’t bring any melee weapon. Melee weapons were never been part of Helldivers 2, and that’s what this fan disapproves of.

Recently, a player posted his Helldivers 2 stats on the official subreddit of the game and captioned, “I won’t Stop Till I’m Given A Melee Weapon.” The stat of this player looks impressive. His post-mission stat shows, 2 deaths, 337 kills, and 75.5% accuracy. However, if you go a little below, it will show 116 melee kills. That’ll probably attract the attention of the players. The game doesn’t have any melee weapons, so, from where the melee kills stat comes. Well, these purely show his expertise in fistfights.

Sharing these impressive skills of his he demanded a melee weapon and declared that he won’t stop unless developers add a melee weapon to the game. This desire is pretty logical as it will be fun fighting the giant robots and bugs with melee weapons, instead of guns. However, it will make the fights more challenging as handling these enemies with melee weapons won’t be an easy job anyway.

In the comment section, it seems that other community players have the same desire as his. Mostly they have supported this player saying that there is a lot of stuff that needs to be added in the game. According to them, a melee weapon can easily be a great secondary weapon and there’s a lot of room to improve the secondary weapons. However, the developers haven’t stated anything about adding any melee weapon.

Helldivers 2 Community is Complaining About an Old Problem That Has been Emerging Greatly After the Railgun Nerf

 Undoubtedly, Railgun was one of the most powerful weapons in the game. Before the nerf, this weapon was used to take down Chargers in two shots. However, things have changed overnight, since the balanced update has dropped. Though the Railgun received a reduction in both damage rate and armor penetration ability, no other Anti-Tank weapon received enough buff to replace it. Therefore, at difficulty levels 7-9, players have been finding it impossible to handle Chargers and Bile Titans.

Players have started complaining about this issue and as a result, Arrowhead recently stated that they have noticed this problem and are currently working on reducing the health pool and spawn frequency of these armored enemies. However, when the update will come is still unknown.
