The worst guns in Helldivers 2 are likely to get stronger in a future balance patch, which will make bugs and bots very unhappy.
As the best weapons in Helldivers 2 become more common, like the railgun and the 500 kg bomb, the game’s creator, Arrowhead, recently got calls for a balance patch that would add more weapons to endgame arsenals.
Someone asked on the game’s official Discord, “Hey, do you know when we’ll get a balance patch or if the team is working on it right now?” A lot of tools and strategies don’t work as well as they should, and they need a big boost.
A good question, and one that’s being asked more and more as people get better gear and do harder tasks. For fun, weapon picks can start to feel less useful as the screws get tighter.
On all seriousness, we really need some weapon rebalancing.

People have said that some guns can’t be used at all. For example, the SG-225SP Breaker Spray & Pray has been called about as useful as calling the enemy names. Baskin-Robbins quickly replied with good news: “We are working on that for an update, yes.”
We don’t know how big this upcoming balance patch will be or when it will come out, but if I had to guess, I’d say it will be pretty big since it will be Helldivers 2’s first genuine chance to be tuned after launch.
For one thing, Arrowhead will have a lot more user data to work with, which will give them a full picture of what players are using and why (read: the railgun and the reason is that it rails).
Even with the best gear, players aren’t exactly cruising through the hardest tasks, so let’s hope that the focus is on giving big buffs to the weakest weapons and, at most, small buffs to the best weapons right now.
Because of the need to fix bugs and make the game more stable over the past few weeks, patches have now brought the game to a pretty good technical level.
Now, some cool but forgotten gear could use a new lease on life. For now, here are the best guns we think you can get in Helldivers 2.
