HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

What's that coming over the hill? Don't worry, it's not a swarm of Terminids, it's a brand new Helldivers 2 patch, full of the usual fixes and tweaks. What are the headliners this time? Well, if you've ever accidentally destoyed your own mech by firing a missile mid-turn, I've got some good news for you.

Well, the bug that was causing that should now have been fixed, reducing the potential for expensive embarassment.
