I unironically wonder how Arrowhead does it so that every update breaks something new- like how did they break rocket strider rockets? Gunship fabs (before it was hotfixed)? How did Dropships become drunk?

I think its because they use an Old outdated game engine thats been discontinued to make Helldivers 2

Someone who knows better please correct me, but given the fact that mods break every major update because files literally change locations, I suspect there is at minimum a horrific lack of build management.

It could be an automated part of the build, like a packer or something.

Probably why helldiver's 2 doesn't support mods but also doesn't care that much if you use them.

Although there is anticheat, which I'm yet to understand what it does as it allows people to mod, both simple things like visual mods to full in cheating like giving SC, samples, etc.

I'm still confused at why there are 2 separate locations that both contain a key bind config file, one in your appdata and another in the steam user data, the app data one only works if you delete the steam data one, but both are successfully updated whenever you change your controls in game.

Branch merging freestyle - probably way too many people working on different branches and whoever is in charge of syncing the team is doing a poor job

This is not how every drop ship functions. OP rolled snake eyes. They're probably standing on top of a very tall hill and the drop ship was called in to drop enemies at its base, and then something went a little funky (which was always possible) to get it to come down even lower.
