Helldivers 2's new SMG gives Stalkers a taste of their own medicine with a stun-locking effect that slows them right down
Included in the new Polar Patriots Warbond for your 🥂pleasure

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helldivers 2's new sidearm gives the tear-inducing Stalkers a taste of t🃏he🤪ir own medicine.
The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Polar Patriots Warbond dropped earlier today for all Super Earth rookies, bundling in various new weapons, armor, cosmetics, grenades, and boosters in one snowy-themed package. A notable addi🉐tion wa💖s the SMG-72 Pummeller, a one-handed submachine gun that easily steals the show.
What Arrowhead Studios failed to mention is that the Pummeller also staggers several enemies, including the Stalkers who are infamously known to stunlock players, immediately making the new SMG aꦛ fixture in my loadout. The Pummeller can be seen slowing down a couple of Stalkers below, where the two sides exchange stunlocking blows. A real turn-based slowmo frenzy.

The Pummeller exchanges firepower for that staggering trait, which isn't really an issue. Secondary weapons never excelled at bug squashing, so having a tool to slow down oncoming foes as a last resort i🔯s moreꦇ than welcome. I can also imagine it's a particularly attractive option if you have space for the ballistic shield stratagem.
Helldivers report that the new weapon also works just as well on other enemy types. Redditor Msands comments that the SMG also stunlocks both 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Devastator variants, stops a Brood Com🎶mander mid-charge, and "wrecks a Hunter's day by kn🔯ocking it back mid-leap." Overall, the Pummeller seems like the most popular newbie in the game's arsenal.
That's most welcome news since Helldivers 2 players have been wrangling with numerous weapon nerfs these last few weeks, most recently with a perhaps unintended nerf🙈 to the once-effective Eruptor. The Explosive Crossbow and Quasar Cannon were a🔯lso nerfed in another patch.
