Helldivers 2's massive Illuminate invasion day patch, 01.003.000, brings a bunch of fresh weapon balancing as Arrowhead totally revamps gun accuracy and flamethrower damage
Briefly

Helldivers 2 has launched patch 01.003.000, introducing a fresh invasion alongside new enemies and mechanics. This update focuses on weapon balancing, particularly affecting flamethrowers and other firearms. Developers Niklas Malmborg and Johan Pilestedt discussed tweaks aimed at improving accuracy and reducing exaggerated inaccuracy found in previous iterations. The changes allow more customization and a move towards realistic weapon mechanics. Overall, the patch appears to enhance the gameplay experience by buffing weapon effectiveness as opposed to nerfing.
This gives the players more opportunity to work with their aim," Malmborg explained, with Pilestedt adding: "Previously, the way that weapons have worked in Helldivers [2] is that we had an exaggerated inaccuracy.
Overall, the patch seems to lean toward buffing weapons rather than nerfing them, allowing for potentially more dynamic gameplay.
