Helldivers 2 simply had its first stability replace. Whereas mechs are nonetheless en-route, this payload is definitely nothing to smell at—particularly because it’s nonetheless including one main function to the sport: True to the sport’s Starship Troopers inspiration, meteors at the moment are a serious concern for the hardworking patriots of Tremendous Earth. I am certain nothing dangerous will occur to Buenos Aires, although.
“Many planets now have extra environmental challenges that may seem at random when you are deployed, from hearth tornadoes to meteor showers and lots of extra,” the patch notes state. Helldivers 2 truly already had hearth tornadoes within the planet of Hellmire—however so far as I can inform they had been simply background dressing. Till now, that’s.
Eradicate missions—which had been beforehand used as an XP, medals, and requisitions farm—have additionally had their period doubled. “The time to finish the mission was beforehand shorter than meant and may now often take twice as lengthy to finish.” This could ideally cease gamers from merely dipping in, knocking out some waves of bots or bugs, and dropping the remainder of the operation to rinse and repeat—which might have an effect on the continued galactic warfare.
A swathe of changes has additionally hit some fan favorite weapons—together with the SG-225 Breaker, the RS-422 Railgun, and the Defend Generator Pack. Initially the patch notes did not have specifics, however they’ve since been up to date. Arrowhead Developer Alex Kravchenko additionally shared some extra granular particulars by way of the sport’s official Discord.
There’s additionally been a provide package deal of fixes to bugs and points. Most notably, Arrowhead has “fastened armor score values not decreasing harm as meant”. Beforehand, heavy armour wasn’t doing a lot of something to scale back harm, which means all these stompy, Area Marine-adjacent fits had been simply sitting in my cargo maintain accumulating mud. I am peachy eager to leverage their weight to stomp some bugs, now.
You will discover the complete checklist of patch notes under.
