Good news, if you've been having issues with Helldivers 2 freezing since its last patch was deployed, there's now a new one designed to stop at least some instances of the game doing just that when you use specific guns.
If you're out of the loop, things had been going well in-game for the soldiers of Super Earth until a number of pesky issues hit last week, likely contributing to the failure of a major order, which some players were seemingly told hadn't failed, even though it definitely had.
