Many have been pointing out the negatives of the latest Helldivers 2 patch but there is one positive; the Senator got buffed. Scouring the internet, you will find many complaining about the negative effects that the patch had on gameplay. Some have pointed out new glitches while others are angry about how ricochet damage kills them instantly. Some of these issues have been noticed by the devs and are being taken care of. While players are waiting for that, they have one weapon they can rely on and sing about in the meantime, the “big iron on their hip,” the P-4 Senator.
Reddit user GameOVerDeo posted a video showing off some fancy moves with the P-4 Senator during a defense mission and they aren’t the only one having fun. Many commented saying they have been enjoying the weapon’s buffs and the use of the weapon has become a meme overnight with many singing their praises with the song Big Iron by Marty Robbins.
“Six shots. More than enough to kill anything that moves,” one user commented. Another commented, “Cowboy hat helmet intensifies,” to which someone responded “Oh my god. Can we make that a thing please?” Now multiple users are calling for Arrowhead to continue the trend with a cowboy-themed helmet for the Helldivers to wear into battle against their foes. Someone even said, “Never in my life have I needed something so much and never known until I received it.”
Multiple memes have spawned depicting players complaining about the recent patch while others sing their merry tune and fire off shots from their newly buffed six-shooters. Complete with a speed reloader, the Senator has become one of the weapons of choice now for those going into battle against the Terminids. Be sure to grab yours from the Steeled Veterans premium Warbond. If you have the Warbond unlocked, the weapon is only 15 medals.
