Arrowhead Game Studios’ Helldivers 2 provides players with exciting fast-paced PvE combat but sometimes it can get out of hand. Players often find themselves getting mauled by enemies while constantly getting shot. The community has started complaining about all these things as they make the gaming experience a little chaotic and frustrating.

Players face this more on Automaton-infested planets and to tackle this situation, the community is asking Arrowhead to reduce flinch and ragdoll. Ragdoll often prevents you from using the stim or running away from enemies. Arrowhead should address this issue as the Illuminate invasion is right around the corner.
Helldivers 2 players want Arrowhead to reduce flinch and ragdoll

A Reddit post on the r/Helldivers2 subreddit has put the spotlight on a problem that many players are currently facing in Helldivers 2. While fighting off enemies, particularly the Automatons, players are constantly getting thrown around due to a lot of explosions and shooting. The ragdoll gets quite annoying as players have no control over it, especially when they get thrown right in the middle of the battlefield. This is also one of the main reasons why players avoid playing Automaton missions.
Players have suggested that Arrowhead could reduce flinch and ragdoll for Heavy armor or they can allow players to prone immediately after they ragdoll. Heavy armor makes things a lot easier on the battlefield but once you ragdoll in that armor it’s difficult to run away from enemies because of its low Speed and Stamina Regen rating.
The Illuminate invasion is expected to begin soon

A big update for Helldivers 2 is expected to roll out soon as players are getting major hints about the Illuminate’s invasion. There are theories that the Illuminate will use the newly formed black hole in the game to begin its invasion of Super Earth. Arrowhead should rework these things in that update as the new faction will introduce new enemies and players wouldn’t want to get mauled by them on day one.
Apart from this, players are also complaining about enemy rockets randomly hitting headshots as there is no chance of surviving this direct hit at all. Debris and rocks acting like one-way covers is also another issue that hasn’t been resolved yet. Hopefully, Arrowhead will make the required changes in the coming weeks.
Helldivers 2 is available on Windows and PlayStation 5.
