Helldivers 2 players demand immediate nerf to “OP” Terminid

Helldivers 2 players are demanding an immediate nerf to one thickly armored, fairly common Terminid that they were struggling to defeat.

Helldivers 2 challenges the bravest soldiers in the galaxy to pick up their rifles and wage war against oppressive forces that are trying to infest planets, including the soldier’s home Super Earth.

However, Earth’s forces aren’t going down without a fight, and are utilizing some of the best weapons that technology has to offer, like the SG-225 Breaker and the P-19 Redeemer.

Still, the war is a tough fought one, as Game Master Joel is pushing players to their limits with waves upon waves of Terminids and Automatons.

There is one enemy, a member of the thickly carapaced Terminids, that is causing players massive trouble due to its obnoxious armor plating.

Helldivers 2 players fed up with Charger Terminid Armor

One player had finally had enough of firing round after round into the Charger Terminid’s densely armored carapace to no effect and threw down their gun to complain on social media about the issue.

“Charger armor is way too strong for their assumed threat level. I get that they are tanks, but honestly, a Hulk is easier to take down than these giant critters. They have truly ridiculous stats for how common they are”.

The complaining didn’t stop there, as the player continued on their frustration-fueled rant:

“Even their legs are considered heavy armour making the EATs and Recoilless the only options to efficiently take down. Even if you dodge their charge there is a chance they will just bodyslam you away, losing you the only chance of doing some damage,” said the player.

Some players agreed with the forlorn and disheartened soldier. But other veteran, grizzled Helldivers had even worse news to deliver.

“Don’t worry fellow citizen, eventually we will see the upgraded version with full armor like in HD1,” warned one veteran player.

Still, while there is a minority who have been disheartened by the strength of the enemies, the majority of Helldivers are still charging headfirst into danger to try and liberate the Galaxy.
