Helldivers 2 has experienced lots of ups and downs in their journey. The journey from a game full of bugs and glitches to one of the most played games of the year was not easy. However, Arrowhead finally made it. No one claims that the game is completely bug-free; still, the meta of Helldivers 2 is an exciting experience at this point.

With multiple challenging bugs and robot enemies to deal with, Helldivers 2 provides players with a thrilling adventure experience, where often the bugs have proven to be more powerful than the weapons of the game. However, a recent gameplay glimpse has revealed a different picture, which has created a wave of excitement among players.

The Latest Helldivers 2 Gameplay Reveals Stalker as a Not-so-Tough Enemy Type in the Game

Since Helldivers 2 was released, Stalkers have become the toughest bugs to deal with. These powerful bugs generally appear during higher-difficulty missions, but they possess the strength to eliminate players in a single hit. This has been a challenge for players until a new SMG appears to rescue them from this difficulty. Since the Pummeler came to Helldivers 2, Stalkers are no longer a threat. 

The SMG-72 Pummeler is introduced to the game as part of the latest Polar Patriots Warbond. Though players have several controversies regarding other features of this Warbond, one thing everyone admits without a second thought is that Pummeler is the best SMG ever introduced to the game. It is a total game-changer, especially when the opponents are Stalkers.

Recently, @HelldiversAlert shared a gameplay video against the Stalkers in which the player has been fighting against four Stalkers simultaneously. This is a tricky situation for sure, but not when you have the brand-new SMG Pummeler. With this weapon, players can now deal heavy damage to these enemies. It won’t take more than a few shots to kill all four Stalkers without getting much damage.

Initially, this SMG received some criticism for its slow fire rate, but its staggering feature covers everything. This staggering feature ultimately leads players to stunlock enemies and deal damage to them to break their armor. Well, this only works for light armor. As it seems, this SMG has made the journey a bit easier for players.

Along with that, another exciting update has come from Sony about Helldivers 2 and their cancellation of one of the most controversial decisions about the game.

Sony Has Withdrawn Their Steam Account Linking Announcement After Massive Protest From Players

A few days ago, Sony announced that the grace period is now over, so all PC players who are willing to play Helldivers 2 or have been playing the game need to link their Steam accounts to the PlayStation Network. This announcement received millions of hostile comments and reviews from PC players, where players straightforwardly refused to obey this rule.

These negative feedback worked magically, and Sony finally reconsidered their decision, with a tweet from the official PlayStation account saying, “The May 6 update, which would have required Steam and PlayStation Network account linking for new players and for current players beginning May 30, will not be moving forward.”

The authority thanked the Helldivers 2 community for their support and feedback. But this cancellation of the decision marks a great victory for the players. Even Arrowhead seemed to be against this decision. However, maybe this withdrawal is the result of Steam’s reaction to this announcement.

After Sony announced their decision to compulsory linking of Steam accounts to PSN, Steam made Helldivers 2 unavailable for purchase in 117 countries. This has caused a major loss in the game sale; thus, Sony was forced to rethink their decision.

Whatever the reason may be, the cancellation of the process causes some peace to the Helldivers 2 community, as it saves them from a complicated process and the fear of losing their favorite game.
