HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

As Helldivers 2 continues to be struggling with its own success, suffering wildly overloaded servers that make it sometimes tricky to even log in, a new patch today has added a feature to help alleviate the pressure. Having previously capped the number of players to 450,000, developers Arrowhead have now added an auto-kick to stop people hogging those precious slots while not playing. After 15 minutes, AFK players will now get booted. It's clearly not the big fix needed but hopefully fresh duct tape will help hold the co-op shooter together until more permanent solutions arrive.

One bad purchase is the equivalent of several wasted missions, and no one wants to waste their precious time, especially when the Helldivers 2 servers are in a state at the moment. In this co-op game, you need to be careful about how you're using your stratagems as friendly fire is on, and it cannot be disabled.
