The gaming community applauds the efforts of Arrowhead Game Studios to make the post-launch experience much more convenient through a series of updates and patches. There is no such thing as a perfect video game, despite all the advancements and improvements the game developers have achieved in the past, no game is immune to bugs and glitches.

There was a lot to behold in the latest update; however, there are some notable problems. Some players have noticed the inaccurate fire effect status in Helldivers 2 was watered down and is not working realistically which can break the immersion. It may not be game-breaking and could be easily fixed after a future patch but it shouldn’t overshadow the good parts of this update.

The latest update revealed that there is now a much easier and more convenient option for handling a gunship fabricator using the Hellbomb stratagem. Players would feel down if they fail to arm the bomb and perish in the firefight and consider deploying the powerful bomb a waste, fortunately, as long as it is armed the moment before the bomb is destroyed, it will still explode.

Players would struggle against gunship fabricators and take any help they could get to destroy them without risking their lives. Others have grown tired of fighting an uphill battle and suggested adding a god mode to the game developers to even the odds and give players the thrill of playing an invincible god against overpowered enemies.

The Escalation of Freedom Update Packs a Decent Sized Punch for Helldivers 2 Players

This feature is a godsend from the developers that could help save time and lives. Perhaps Arrowhead Game Studios should consider looking into other areas that have been bothering the gaming community dialling down overpowered enemy variants for a little bit to avoid overwhelming the player base.

The Hellbombs can now be utilized as a desperate attempt to destroy gunship fabricators and to remove the obstacle for others to advance. It is much riskier and if the run is successful, it would help team members more than the person who placed the payload.

Arrowhead Game Studios should make more adjustments that would make the war effort for the players much more convenient. Efforts cannot be replaced and the community has seen its fair share of being tormented by countless gunship fabricators.

Hellbombs are not easy to come by and this new game mechanic is a game changer in a good way. The gaming community will feel much more comfortable knowing that these powerful explosives will still work after it is destroyed as long as they are primed and rigged to blow.
