As the threats to galactic freedom evolve, so do the weapons of Helldivers 2. A positive change recently happened for the PLAS-1 Scorcher in Helldivers 2's second October update, as the weapon saw itself receive a modification that further improved its aggressive combat function. Its new feature sets a precedent for what the other weapons should also eventually acquire, as the change taps into what makes the game as enjoyable as it is.
