The Helldivers 2 community is always looking to improve the game by making various suggestions to the development team. Arrowhead Game Studios generally responds well to these suggestions and often incorporates them into the game fairly quickly.

Unfortunately, some suggestions go unnoticed, and many players become increasingly impatient, voicing their complaints more actively in order to see changes in the title. A recent Reddit post went viral where a user requested a radical change to the Railcannon to achieve better effectiveness.

Helldivers 2 stands out for its community, which not only consistently pushes for changes from the development team but also consistently receives feedback. This community’s efforts have led to the implementation of numerous game changes and the avoidance of potential issues that could have upset certain players. Now, these fans want a change to a specific weapon that just doesn’t work correctly.

A brief video on the Reddit platform illustrates how the Railcannon’s performance falls short of players’ expectations. This particular video shows how the weapon should primarily target heavy enemies but ends up behaving inconsistently without a specific path.

The player’s jokes about targeting demonstrate their understanding of the weapon’s functionality and its ineffectiveness in battle, particularly against large enemies.

Arrowhead Game Studios Should Consider Making Certain Changes

The gaming community itself claims that poorly executed weapon targeting or strategems frequently attack random enemies rather than the intended target. Players want this particular weapon to exclusively target the largest enemies in order to be more effective in battle.

Since it’s not a bullet but rather a beam, the lack of precision is quite noticeable, but it also seems purposefully inaccurate.

The discussion in this Reddit post continued, and many players agreed that this weapon should always target the most powerful enemies, particularly tanks. It’s clear these players have complained about this weapon’s precision before.

The studio should pay more attention and try to incorporate this feedback into the game to make the fans more pleased and eager to play the different missions for democracy.

Helldivers 2 fans want many new changes for the game, as it seems the current mechanics are not satisfying them. In recent weeks, the community has made a variety of demands for new content and, especially, a new enemy to face. At the moment, the studio hasn’t revealed any major plans for the game, but they have always stated they are actively working to achieve the best experience for players.
