HELLDIVERS™ 2 News

UPDATE: After hours of preparing to fail Helldivers 2's latest major order, it seems like players are getting conflicting reports as to whether they actually have

UPDATE (22/03/24, 17:00 PM GMT): While it still doesn't look to have been addressed by Arrowhead, the consensus on this weird happening seems to to be that the successful order completion messages were most likely a bug of some kind, as the community definitely didn't achieve the objective in time.

Uh, ok, so this is gonna be a weird one. After Helldivers 2 have spent the last little bit all preparing to fail the game's latest major order - likely due to all of the issues that've been plaguing the game this week - it looks like they've now gotten conflicting reports as to whether they have or not.

Yeah, they're just as confused as you are. And I don't just mean the folks who've been having to hope that the game's mechs will someday become idiot proof. Though, to be honest, given the problems that've been afflicting the game's galactic war liberation percentages, this might not be that surprising.

If you've encountered Helldivers 2 flying bugs this past few days while doing your best to spread managed democracy, you're not alone. Increasing reports of airborne Terminids are coming in from players, leading to a special Super Earth broadcast from the in-game Ministry of Intelligence acknowledging the new threat. Now, even Arrowhead Game Studios CEO Johan Pilestedt has weighed in on the appearance of the flying foes, with a masterfully in-universe message.

Avoid these Helldivers 2 guns to survive until the next patch

Spreading freedom and liberty throughout the galaxy is a big job, and as it turns out, so is keeping a game as popular as Helldivers 2 running. Developer Arrowhead says it's figured out what's causing the persistent freezing issue that players have been reporting, and it's working on a patch for the issue that should be out next week. In the meantime, you may want to check your loadouts for certain weapons, which seem to be triggering the bug.

Yay, a fresh Helldivers 2 patch is coming soon to fix freezes, here are some guns to avoid using until it does

There've been a lot of issues afflicting Helldivers 2 since its latest patch dropped yesterday, but the good news is that Arrowhead's now revealed that it's working on a fresh patch that should take care of the biggest one - the game freezing up on regular basis.

When should this new patch arrive? Soon is the answer by the looks of it, and there are some guns the developer suggests that you stay away from until that point. Given how quickly it managed to sort the recent issues with the game's Galactic War not registering progress properly, I'd listen.

The reveal of this came via the official Helldivers 2 Discord server, where community manager Baskinator writes: "We have identified the cause of the freezes many players have been experiencing, and we're in the process of building a patch to fix it that should be ready to deploy early next week."

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.
