Arrowhead Game Studios has rolled out countless updates to improve Helldivers 2 since its initial release in February 2024. Since then, the game has gone through various balancing and gameplay changes depending on players’ feedback, however, there is one issue that is yet to be resolved.
Since the very beginning, it has been observed that many players avoid playing against Automatons, but this can’t be entirely blamed on the difficulty level as fighting this faction can get annoying.

Other players then pointed out that it’s not the difficulty level that stops players from fighting Automatons, it is the frustrating mechanics and annoying gameplay.
Not just that, players have also pointed out in the past that Rocket Devastators are quite overpowered in the game and Arrowhead needs to nerf them in order to make the Automaton missions less annoying.
