Arrowhead Game Studios has a new patch for Helldivers 2, addressing crashes and jittering that occurs when ADSing with scopes. The crashes resulted from Illuminate ships despawning or when a player would quit the game and should thus be gone.
Other miscellaneous issues that occurred include the targeting for STA-X3 W.A.S.P Launcher not working if you used one belonging to another player. Those who faced disconnects in Illuminate missions can also breathe easier as they’ve been reduced.
Helldivers 2 is available for PS5 and PC – check out our review here. It’s had a successful first year with over 15 million players (despite some bumps with the whole “mandatory PSN linking” and balance). With its first anniversary in February, one has to wonder if the developer has anything special planned. Stay tuned for updates.
In the meantime, Arrowhead has a new project with creative director Johan Pilestedt stating he’s working on the “high concept.” Sony also recently greenlit a movie based on the franchise.
