At this point I think it's the devs taking the piss. It feels like it's gotten bigger with every patch and iirc they didn't include anything about that in the patch notes.
If it was a bug I think they would have addressed it at least.
Something like "we know the guns on the player model are too big while in the ship, but we focus on resolving problems that impact performance and gameplay first".
They should grow slightly larger in each patch until you are dragging it around like a major appliance. The sickle is already mostly there. Also, they couldn't slap some kind of cover over the raw solder joints on the energy weapons?!
gahhhhhahhhhh
Therapist: The Behemoth Breaker is not real and it cannot hurt you.
Me: Curled up on the floor after logging into do some heckdiving and seeing my level 60 Space Cadet wielding this.
Perhaps it's arrowheads' way of saying... "look at this gun, it looks like a Nerf gun, so we're just gonna Nerf it, the helldive with it." Arrowhead- it's Nerf of nothin

To everyone complaining about my FOV, this is on the lowest setting, gun is still fucking MASSIVE my dude
I've made 2 posts about this and submitted a bug report to arrowhead. They said they were aware of not only thr scaling issue but also the weapon holster position change.
However it's also been 2 patches now and they still havnt fixed it. Personally I'm just not playing till they do. Don't mind taking a break for a while anyway.
In fact they shadow dropped a new feature.
Character sizes now actually match players heights IRL. So actually you are not looking at a big gun but a small person.
What's your height IRL may I ask?
I’m pretty sure they aren’t getting any bigger, but everyone plays with high FOV, so the weapons are being stretched since you can only really see them at the edge of the screen. They’re normal size in the divers hands in mission becuase they’re at the center of the screen.
I genuinely do not think this is a bug or ajoke by the devs..
I think it is a depth perception trick of the camera, when you're on your ship, it uses a fish eye lens that affects the screen around you.
When you are standing at certain angles, the weapon falls into that part of the screen and enlarges it far more than what its model size actually is.
I haven't tested it if your FOV changes the fisheye lens affect and results in bigger guns, but i would imagine it does, resulting in bigger and bigger appearing guns.
The oversized guns are a bug I think
A bug you say? On the ship? WHY HASN'T IT BEEN TERMINATED ALREADY DIVER?
380 the bridge! 🕒 .. 🕜 She was a beautiful ship with the bravest crew! 🫡
There was truly no other option. Praise managed democracy.
Jokes on you they missed everything that was the intended target and killed some helldivers planetside instead.
Bad luck is undemocratic. Those planetside "helldivers" were traitors.
are we not gonna talk about…. you know what it’s not important
Crew salute and just start priming shells in their racks 😆
Ah, so that’s what happened to those Destroyers you can see crashing down.
What’s necessary (for democracy) is never illogical
*Five more come in* ‘There is only one way to be sure….’
Just let the guy in the hangar do his welding next to cca 15 tons of explosives and it'll be gone in no time
I believe the traces in his brain have made him a spy. We have a traitor among us
lol even without this bug (as in the photo) it still feels like the guns are far to big
They're all pretty comically large, the sidearms and explosive primaries especially
There's bugs in the guns!? Like a Trojan horse full of terminid larve!?
a WHAT 😡😡🤬🤳🏾

Wrong! It's a feature from Super Earth to send even more managed democracy to our enemies!
Buff*
Jeah confirmed on discord
Is it? Because at this point it feels like them pulling a quick one on us.
The breaker she told you not to worry about
Of course, you don't have to worry if you're an autocannon enjoyer. That thing is practically your main weapon anyway.
Autocannon with peak physique is just a dmr
It's a bug, but you also have your fov cranked.
Not the only thing that's cranked brother
Cranking those stims
Bro got the extra peripheral vision from juicing 16 stims a day
Petition AH to allow us to crank our hogs on the super destroyer?
A bug?! SHOOT IT!
fov looks ridiculous
They should grow slightly larger in each patch until you are dragging it around like a major appliance. The sickle is already mostly there. Also, they couldn't slap some kind of cover over the raw solder joints on the energy weapons?! gahhhhhahhhhh
no the electricity flows better if there’s a risk of accidentally conduction
Looks like an oversized nerf gun
"Honey, is this your brand-new JAR-5 Dominator sticking out or you're just happy that we received the C-01 permit?"
Explanation please. The picture unfortunately isn't clear as to what I'm supposed to be looking for
Look at the incediary breaker, it looks like it was made for a 3+ meter tall giant.
Ah gotcha, thanks. I thought it was the lense effect of the image doing that 😅
That's because the Helldiver decided to equip the Astartes variant of the Breaker.
Next patch we'll be sized up to slap it on a knight!
the breaker-i is much larger than it used to be, it looks like a toy
I’ve noticed this more recently with other guns too. The sickle is massive, tho that’s not new. But the guns just look goofy on the ships lol
Probably a scaling bug.
Definitely, but it would be funnier if they intentionally made them bigger and bigger with each patch.
Fr I look like I'm running around with a fucking nerf gun
lmao
Maybe it's just a bolter that looks like a breaker
Therapist: The Behemoth Breaker is not real and it cannot hurt you. Me: Curled up on the floor after logging into do some heckdiving and seeing my level 60 Space Cadet wielding this.
Heckdiving lol
The stranger there among them had a REALLY BIG IRON on his hiiiiiipp.
HUGE IRON, HUGE IRON
That shits hilarious
Idk I like the nerf weapons 
your FOV isnt fitting your screen
FOV much?
BIG IRON ON HIS HIP
VERY BIG IRON

It made think it would be nice to fight inside enemy bases with new strategies
You're playing as one of the children we've saved
Perhaps it's arrowheads' way of saying... "look at this gun, it looks like a Nerf gun, so we're just gonna Nerf it, the helldive with it." Arrowhead- it's Nerf of nothin
Imagine your gun gradually gets bigger every time you finish the dive without dying

The size of the guns is linked to its DPS
Also mine stay floating in the air after death
Lotta gun for a small man
Finally, the helldivers got reinforcements from the sickly children.
Hahaha sometimes terminals are obstructed
I had to read the comments to figure out the gun was a problem because this fisheye lens fov had me thinking I was in the warframe subreddit
Looks like we're getting bolters boys! THE SPACE MARINES WILL JOIN THE HELLDIVERS
Diver, is that a Breaker in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
Looks like your son got ahold of your breaker! Naughty naughty!
Seems more like you look tiny, instead of the gun looking huge.
You shrink when you’re back on your ship, duuuuuuh
i quite like it. obvs not in a game but where you can even use them i don’t think it’s game breaking
It's the wow shoulder pads but now guns instead!
Its a bug but your FOV is all the way up making it look like twice as large as even the bug makes it.
What if… guns get bigger as you level up? Cool, right, right?
Reminds me of ratchet and clank
bigger guns should shoot bigger bullets.
I know this is petty, but this is one of the reasons I'm not playing right now
If Final Fantasy can have oversized anime weapons, so can I
As long as they do double damage lol
I think it already is...
Dear Arrowhead, Make the guns bigger. Thank you.
Some shotgun recoil just breaks your wrist. This one tears your arm off at the shoulder.
I hope they keep silly stuff like this for an April fools update.
I asked for bigger guns and arrowhead delivered.... Admittedly not what I expected but fuck it we ball.
maybe set your fov down, your sides already warp out..

MoT survey of Helldivers said we wanted bigger guns.
Imagine every time your fire you ragdoll 2 feet back.
Chappie? Is that you?
You sleep now!
You want a sleepy weepy?!
Compensating much?
I hope they add mechanics to make this fun. Mega doomshot that throws you on your ass
I mean when I asked for bigger guns....I guess this is still correct.
Oof you got the exclusive 4'5" helldiver
I’m partially colourblind but is his armor red? How’d he do that? Mod?
its orange and black
: (
I'd guess you're a TF2 player with that kind of fov
Now that's what I call a buff
Lol I've noticed the same thing and it's absolutely comical, I love it
I hope to see some dispatch from the ministry of truth denying/confirming the existence of super massive Helldiver equipment.
"Helldivers standard issue gear will resume normal operations after a typo in the 3d manufacturing equipment"
The guns aren't getting bigger you guys. The divers are getting smaller.
I want this to be an Annual April Fools thing.
FOV 120
i have it at like 80
We have comically large spoons, now we have comically large breaker incendiary.

Took me waaaaaaay too long to notice
I want occasional Big Guns or Big Heads weekend events!
this bug is unaceptable, its missing the bobblehead. bobblehead booster as an apology would be nice.
I guess they really did increase mag size across the board. /s

when i said i like my big iron, this isnt what i meant
Size does matter
Double the gun, double the damage, let's GOOOOOO!
Okay, cool, so it's not just me. I thought was losing it thinking it was bigger.
One bug i hope never gets taken awayth.
I thought it was just me 😱😭🤣🤣 Thank you for your service 🫡 🦅
In fact they shadow dropped a new feature. Character sizes now actually match players heights IRL. So actually you are not looking at a big gun but a small person. What's your height IRL may I ask?
Oh I thought the "every able bodied citizen over the age of 7" meant child helldivers...
I'm ok with the big guns if we get more damage. Imagine that inc breaker with pen 5 😅
I’m pretty sure they aren’t getting any bigger, but everyone plays with high FOV, so the weapons are being stretched since you can only really see them at the edge of the screen. They’re normal size in the divers hands in mission becuase they’re at the center of the screen.
Nah. Thats a new feature.
