One of the game’s strongest guns is now killing players due to changes to ricochet damage

Helldivers 2 was patched earlier this week and introduced some sweeping changes with it. Among the more notable adjustments are a much-needed reduction in fire damage and a broad increase in damage output, but it’s an otherwise innocuous patch note about ricochet damage that has set the community ablaze. The patch line reads, “Shots that ricochet from heavy armored enemies will now properly hit the Helldiver who fired them. Trigger discipline is highly recommended.

Apparently, Punisher Plasma rounds now have a hitbox, which has potentially overlapped with the existing ricochet issues and now causes players using it with a shield generator backpack to explode. Some have reported that ricocheting rocket shots are also killing them, though the proof that most are offering often paints another picture entirely.
