Attention, Helldivers.
A hotfix is planned for Wednesday, May 6. This will revert the Hive Guard and fix an issue introduced in Patch 6.2.1 where armor values were incorrectly swapped between the Legs and Claws.
Updated Hive Guard stats:
Main Body
- Armor increased from 1 → 2
- Health increased from 375 → 500
Head
- Armor decreased from 4 → 3
Front Legs
- Armor increased from 2 → 3
Claws
- Armor decreased from 3 → 1
We are reviewing player feedback, including durability damage, so next week we will also address some of these questions and others which our founder has received in various forums.
Understandable, though mentioning them specifically for the next hotfix seems a bit much...?
Unless they also mentioned the two glaring issues with the new mechs, and people simply only screenshot the hive guard changes. I use Discord as little as I can.
I have also only seen the hive guard bit. I believe this is all they've announced for now.
There's a lot they could/should fix with a lot of community backlash (which is TBF about much more than just this one patch). I guess this is just the easiest thing they could change/revert.
Then again I feel like fixing the sentry and mech flamers and reverting the durable damage buffs on the bot ranged attacks should've also been pretty easy.
