The recent addition of the BR-14 Adjudicator in the Helldivers 2 War Bond update has once again highlighted the game's struggle with providing compelling long-range options. Players find these weapons lacking in comparison to their close-range counterparts, such as the Breaker shotgun, which remains a popular choice for its power and accuracy in close-quarters combat.

Community Feedback on Long-Range Weapons
Players have taken to forums like Reddit to express their disappointment with the state of long-range weaponry in Helldivers 2. Discussions on the subreddit reflect concerns about the Adjudicator's damage output and its inability to compete with shotguns in terms of effectiveness.
Room for Improvement
While Helldivers 2 excels in delivering fast-paced, close-range engagements, there is a noticeable gap when it comes to providing viable options for long-range combat, particularly against Automatons. Players feel that incorporating more powerful and versatile DMRs and ARs into the game's meta could enhance the overall experience and add depth to strategic gameplay.
While Helldivers 2 continues to be praised for its thrilling gameplay, the lack of attention to long-range weapons has left fans wanting more.
