We hope you’re excited for the latest additions and updates to the biggest Helldivers 2’s update yet, Escalation of Freedom! We believe that a game thrives when it evolves alongside its player base, and your ideas and suggestions are a critical component of that evolution, allowing us to make adjust...
there's an unfortunate bug where the flamethrower is ineffective against regular chargers (still works on behemoths apparently though),
but other than that great update!
Is it a bug? This is buried under the miscellaneous notes. Though you're right, I don't see why it would behave differently on Behemoths compared to Chargers.
Adjusted flame effects to work more realistically.
It doesn't go through various bodies/objects where bounce off would be the expected behavior, like on armors and static objects.
It's not a bug. They made it so armored units deflect the fire, both alive and dead. You can still cook them, assuming you can aim at the fleshy/less armored bits.
Thanks to the friendly democrat who wrote this in chat for us yesterday, I was dumping
flamethrower mags into a charger and nothing happens, always feel sorry that I can’t type on my gamepad and at least say thx lol.
