The One True Flag in Helldivers 2 continues to deal damage after its recent update, albeit not meeting player expectations. Some players are expressing disappointment, calling for Arrowhead Game Studios to reconsider their recent decisions regarding the flag’s functionality.

The CQC-1 One True Flag, introduced in mid-May 2025 with a weapon customization update, was initially seen as entertaining. However, a mid-July 2025 update, marked as version 1.003.200, has led to decreased effectiveness against certain enemies, particularly Chargers, despite this adjustment being labeled a balance fix.

Players have noticed that mechs are still adversely affected by the flag even while Chargers seem to ignore its impacts. This inconsistency has left the community frustrated, reflecting on the more enjoyable experiences of earlier mechanics.

With the upcoming release of Helldivers 2 on Xbox Series X/S, this debate may become more pronounced among a larger player base, drawing attention to the effectiveness of the game’s mechanics. Understanding the impact of these changes on gameplay continues to be a topic of heated discussion within the community.
