Summary
Arrowhead Game Studios has rolled outHelldivers 2patch 01.000.403, addressing a crash issue related to the FAF-14 Spear. Alongside this fix, theHelldivers 2update also includes various bug fixes aimed at enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is a cooperative third-person shooter released in 2024, that received positive reviews for its chaotic gameplay. Arrowhead has been proactive in regularlyreleasingHelldivers 2updates. These updates often include balance adjustments, new weapons, stratagems, and enemies, addressing both gameplay and technical issues, aiming to ensure a better experience for players.
ThepreviousHelldivers 2update resolved a targeting issue with the Spear, ensuring it correctly aimed at entities like spawners and compound objects. However, the fix inadvertently introduced a crash when players aimed with the Spear. Patch 01.000.403 has addressed this issue, providing a more stable gameplay environment, and also fixed another crash that occurred when unique hellpod patterns were used during launch cutscenes. In addition to resolving these crashes, one significant update is the global availability of Japanese language voice-overs on both PS5 and PC, broadening accessibility for players who prefer this language option.
Additionally, several miscellaneous issues have also been addressed. Text corruption issues, particularly with Traditional Chinese, have been fixed, ensuring proper character display. TheHelldivers 2Plasma Punishernow correctly fires out of the SH-32 Shield Generator Pack and the FX-12 Shield Generator. Adjustments to the Quasar cannon’s heat management now reflect the correct changes based on hot and cold planets. The Spore Spewer no longer appears purple on certain planets, and pink question marks appearing in missions on various planets have been eliminated. Moreover, an issue where available Operations reset after players reconnect from inactivity has been fixed.
Despite the fixes, some issues persist and are being actively worked on. Friend requests via friend code in-game currently do not work. Delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts can occur. Another issue is that deployed mines may sometimes become invisible, although they remain active. Arc weapons can behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire. Furthermore, most weapons shoot below the crosshair when aiming down the sights. Additionally, the mission count in the Career tab resets to zero after every game restart. Finally, someHelldivers 2weapondescriptions are outdated and do not reflect their current design.
Patch 01.000.403 is now live, bringing all these fixes for players to enjoy. Arrowhead remains active in listening to player feedback and working to address known issues to ensure a dynamic experience.
