“Our intent is to preserve the intensity of the gameplay while minimizing frustrating situations where sudden headshots cause large damage spikes,” Arrowhead explained in the Steam patch notes Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Some of the changes include major reworks to enemies, overhauls of several weapon archetypes, and tweaks to Helldiver health. For example, Hulks have had their armor reduced, making them more vulnerable to a wider range of weapons, and several bugs like Hunters, Chargers, and Bile Titans have less health and new vulnerable points to focus attacks on.
