The comments show that the Helldivers 2 players want more engaging weapons that have the power to create the ultimate chaos. But still, they know that adding random overpowered upgrades can disturb the balance in the weapons, creating meta (this can make the gameplay one-dimensional).

However, Arrowhead Game Studios is trying its best to regain the player’s confidence. Recently, they have released a patch that buffed a few stratagems, making otherwise discarded tools to become useful.

Players have been enjoying the buffs to the various stratagems but they are not satisfied understandably and want more changes to the game.
