    Hope they fixed (or are going to fix) the proximity detonation. Right now it’s sensitive as fuck which leads to many (admittedly hilarious) TPK’s.

      The game is truly a TTRPG campaign. It only takes one person from doing something unplanned to kill the entire party.

      Looks like they fixed it! From today’s patch notes:

      Airburst Rocket Launcher will no longer detonate when shot near stratagems (HMG turret, Sentries, Resupplies) and other Helldivers

      It won’t be fixed until Tuesday’s update. Still only useful at spectacular amount of TKs.

      I hope they add an alt fire mode that disables the proximity fuses completely so you can actually use it on heavies.

        Yeah, I won’t be using it until it has a non-prox fire mode. Even Boba Fett knew better than to use prox fuses in CQC. 🤦🏽‍♂️
