[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fix for a crash during host migration when a new player joins.

UPDATE (18/09/24, 3:00 PM BST): Arrowhead has now deployed a hotfix that fixes the shield generator pack, as well as a crash which can occur "during host migration when a new player joins". The studio has urged those currently playing to restart their game, presumably to make sure this update gets applied right away.

Helldivers 2's much-hyped Patch 1.001.100 dropped yesterday, with enough buffs and tweaks that you might just have finished reading through the patch notes by now. Thus far, plenty of players are flocking back to the game to try it out, and Arrowhead's issued a fresh Major Order to give them something to do other than waxing lyrical about loving the changes.

Last month, Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead thrust a white flag out from their shelled position in an attempt to placate mutinous fans of the co-op shooter. In response to a community sentiment best summed up by a popular Reddit post titled “Let the super earth burn”, Arrowhead released a statement. “In short, we didn’t hit our target with the latest update…what matters most now is action. Not talk.” Said action (which, it must be pointed out, felt a bit troublingly reactive to the loudest and most histrionic voices in the roo..uh, subreddit) was foreshadowed in a list of issues to be tackled over the coming months.

Helldivers 2's much-hyped latest update, Patch 1.001.100, is finally here, brining with it a bunch of buffs and tweaks players have been requesting to everything from weapons, to armour, and even enemies.

Arrowhead's been busy hyping up this update by announcing some of its headline contents on a daily basis ever since it penned in today, September 17, as the date it would drop, via a blog post that also included some stuff you can expect to see in the patch. It's still worth having a look through the full notes, though.

You can do just that by checking out the 4000 word-ish long patch notes from Arrowhead, which run down all of the changes and fixes all in one place, using the kind of familiar format you should hopefully find relaxing. There's also full 35 minute-ish long video that sees Arrowhead developers Johan Pilestedt and Niklas Malmborg talk through a whole heap of the changes, so watch that if you don't find words relaxing.
