HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

UPDATE: Sadly, Helldivers 2's mechs still aren't idiot proof, and lots of crashes have followed the latest patch

Are you an idiot? Well, I've got some bad Helldivers 2 news for you. The game's latest patch hasn't totally eliminated the phenomenon of accidentally destroying your own exosuit with your own missiles. Also, its deployment has been followed by a wave of crashes, which Arrowhead is working on solutions for.

Unfortunately, while things have been going well in-game for the soldiers of Super Earth occupied as they battle against the Terminids, there've been a number of pesky issues that've been plaguing folks. Arrowhead's working very hard on sorting a lot of them out, but yeah, it might take a little while to see them all rectified.

Let's start with the positives, since more things have been happening in Helldivers 2 than you can probably keep track of. Arrowhead's now deployed some fixes designed to solve some of the issues folk have been having with friend invites, as well as some malfunctionging stats. Sadly, since that point, as outlined in the game's official Discord server, some other problems have arisen.

How to fix Helldivers 2 friend request not working

Having trouble inviting friends to your game in Helldivers 2? So far, Helldivers 2 has had its fair share of bugs and errors, though most have been ironed out, and the game continues to get updates, players are still having trouble inviting friends on different platforms to their game.


Arrowhead has confirmed they are working on a fix for the issue players are having with inviting friends in Helldivers 2, with the latest patch 1.000.103 not solving the issue. The bug itself prevents PC and PS5 players from accepting friend requests, stopping them playing together. There is however, a workaround that we've found that bypasses the screen where you send friend requests to cross-platform players.

Been stuck on the same Helldivers 2 difficulty for ages? Well, you should be free soon, if you aren't already

While Helldivers 2 is usually pretty fun, it's probably quite difficult to enjoy if you're stuck on a certain mission difficulty setting and have been unable to progress beyond that point since close to launch. Thankfully, Arrowhead's been busy working through fix requests from over a million players who've ended up in that scenario.

Yup, while simultaneously keeping the soldiers of Super Earth occupied as they plough on with what's been a very successful campaign against the Terminids so far, the developer's working through some pesky issues with the game. Ok, as we learned uin the most recent patch notes, cross-play friend requests are sadly still in the process of being sorted, but here's one problem that should be gone for those affected very soon, if it isn't already.

In a post on Helldivers 2's official Discord server, community manager Spitz has outlined what Arrowhead's been doing to help free folks who've foround themselves unable to progress and do missions beyond, say, difficulty level three. "Earlier today," they explained, "we ran through a bunch of manual progression requests to fix locked difficulties for about 1,300,000 players who hadn't been able to unlock them normally.
