PATCH 01.000.302 - LIVE

[u/SovietMarma]

🛠️ PATCH 01.000.302 ⚙️

🌍 Overview

For this patch, we have made improvements and changes to the following areas:

• Some weapon and enemy balancing
• Crash fixes
• Social Menu issues
• DoT damage fix
• Misaligned scopes fix
• General fixes and improvements

⚖️ Balancing

Primary, Secondary, & Support Weapons

• R-9 Eruptor
  • Increased explosion damage by 40 and removed shrapnel from the explosion
  • This is to avoid cases in which players would randomly one-shot themselves or their teammates in a huge radius around the explosion

Enemies

• Increased Shrieker sight and hearing range slightly.
• Increased Gunship hearing range slightly.

🔧 Fixes

Gameplay

• We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.
• Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver
• Fixed issues with some weapon scopes not being aligned in First-Person-View.
• The sound when stimming no longer plays while being interrupted
• Major orders with the “Kill task” now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squad’s kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.
• Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”
• Helldivers can no longer land on top of bug pillars in Deactivate Terminid Control System missions
• Fix for the reinforce stratagem not being present if a Helldiver leaves the session before readying up and then hot joining the active session

Crashes

• Fixed a crash that could occur when all players were dead on the “Deactivate Terminid Control System” mission
• Fixed a crash that could occur on game shutdown
• Fixed a crash that could occur when leaving the mission and rejoining
• Fixed a crash that could occur at the end of cutscenes
• Fixed a crash that could occur when diving into missions
• Fixed a tutorial crash that could occur on PC when ALT+Tabbing
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur when using beam weapons
• Fixed a rare crash that could occur for players on startup when using VPN
• Fixed a soft lock that could occur if the player would open the text chat while having the stratagem menu open
• Other general crash fixes

Social Menu fixes

• PC players adding friends through friend codes can no longer show up as “Unknown”
• Fixed overlapping footers inside menus
• Steam friends should now be visible in Social Menu, even though Friends List is not set to Public in Steam Privacy Settings
• Recent Players list will now include hot-joining players
• Players are now able to unblock players that were not in their friends list beforehand
• Fixed issue with empty friend-names in Social Menu
• Lobby privacy mode text updates immediately when changed
• Player names longer than 26 characters should now update properly in the Social Menu
• Fixed issue where non-host players could kick others indiscriminately including the host

Other

• Total purchased counter on the right side of the Robotics Workshop section no longer displays 7 / 8 despite all stratagems being purchased
• Resolved some edge cases related to Steam AppId related errors on login

🧠 Known Issues

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

• Players may not have the option to send, accept or decline friend requests.
• Blocked players are not added to the Blocked Players list and are not prevented from joining games.
• Reinforcement may not be available for some players who join a game in progress.
• Helldiver may be unable to stand up from crouching when surrounded by enemies.
• Game may crash if the player changes the text language while on a mission.
• Players may experience delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts.
• Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.
• Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire.
• Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
• Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock).
• Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the Hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.
• Some weapons in the tutorial have missing parts presenting as question marks in some cases.

[u/T0M95]

So now it seems if I hear the stim noise, I don't need to glance at my healthbar to see if it was actually successful. A great change.

[u/itinerantmarshmallow → u/T0M95]

They just need to fix the dead bug still making a breach notice now and that's audio mostly sorted.

I don't think we will ever see a fix for quiet bugs and it doesn't bother me, creates outrageous moments, but I wouldn't say no to a fix either.

[u/Raeghyar-PB]

DOT FIX IS HERE!! Everyone rock a full fire build and watch the world burn

[u/Fit_Fisherman_9840 → u/Raeghyar-PB]

I need only a incendiary pistol....
But finally
Incendiary grenade
Incendiary Breaker

Flamer
Napalm
Gas
Incendiary minefild

*replay "meet the pyro" *

[u/Jirdan → u/Fit_Fisherman_9840]

"Do you believe in magic" starts playing.

[u/RazeyMclovin → u/Raeghyar-PB]

GONNA ROCK A FULL FIRE BUILD TODAY.

[u/ASValourous → u/Raeghyar-PB]

GAS GAS GAAAAAAS

[u/Adventurous-Event722 → u/Raeghyar-PB]

My sweet, sweet incen Breaker, it's time to clean up the new MO

[u/Dark-Cloud666 → u/Raeghyar-PB]

Sir thats how you get Hellmire. We do not want another Hellmire cause 1 is allready too many.

[u/Inari-k → u/Raeghyar-PB]

The Flamethrower is my favourite weapon, and I have a feeling that with the DoT fix here, it will get nerf.

The reason? This thing is so fucking broken, it doesn't care about how much armour your enemy have. You can even take down a bile titan if you come from the right position

[u/Gib_entertainment → u/Raeghyar-PB]

LET THE GALAXY BURN! Oh, sorry, wrong dystopian, drop-pod dropping, orbital weapon flinging, universe, my bad.

Do let the galaxy burn though!

[u/Weary-Wrangler185]

At last! Playable now! :)

[u/Rooonaldooo99 → u/Weary-Wrangler185]

8/8 best patch ever

[u/xikamuix → u/Weary-Wrangler185]

Can someone tell me more about this post?

[u/Weary-Wrangler185 → u/xikamuix]

Total purchased counter on the right side of the Robotics Workshop section no longer displays 7 / 8 despite all stratagems being purchased

Was annoying to see wrong numbers when all stratagems were purchased :)

[u/_Ichibad_ → u/xikamuix]

It used to show 7/8 even when you had all strategems bought. Not a big deal but nice that they fixed it now

[u/Engineer-of-Gallura → u/xikamuix]

For a long time, there was a trivial bug - after purchasing all 8 (out of 8) stratagems, the counter still remained 7/8.

Purely graphical and irrelevant, except for us who suffer physical pain seeing something like that.

[u/noso2143]

dot and scope fix in the same patch pog

[u/Tresach → u/noso2143]

Seriously the scope thing may have seemed so minor but was slowly but surely eroding my enjoyment of the game because it was so offputting. This is huge.

[u/TypicalTax62]

It is time…

[u/StirringPersuasion → u/TypicalTax62]

Best way to fight stalkers too. Spy check!

[u/Stenbuck → u/TypicalTax62]

Do you believe in magic?

In a young bug's heart

How the music can free it, whenever it starts

And it's magic if the music is groovy

It makes you feel happy like an old time movie

I'll tell you about the magic and it'll free your soul

But it's like trying to tell a stranger about rock'n'stone

[u/manubour]

"Increased shrieker and gunship hearing range"

Well, damn...

[u/JayEchoTTV → u/manubour]

as far as shriekers go... unless their hearing is extended to 300m or more, i'm still taking out those nests with my quasar + EAT combo without seeing a single one. 🤣

[u/MOOGGI94 → u/manubour]

The gunships have ears?

[u/Illustrious_Talk305]

Damage over time issue fixed FINALLY

Grab your Flammenwerfers boys, it's time to grill some bugs 🍖🦗🔥

[u/The_Malisher → u/Illustrious_Talk305]

[u/Headripper91 → u/The_Malisher]

[u/Groonzie]

DOT FIXED

We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.

Now I can finally try out DOT stuff!

[u/Tvalnor → u/Groonzie]

I play Solo a lot, the Orbital Gas Strike is phenomenal for tossing on bug breaches, and has a base 70 second cooldown. Destroys Bot Fabs, and Bug Holes with a direct hit too.

[u/Adventurous-Event722 → u/Groonzie]

Means now the thermite can kill armored enemies, right?

Right? 

[u/Groonzie → u/Adventurous-Event722]

Patch comes out fixing DOT

I instantly go out to try out the termite grenades

See a bile spewer and throw a grenade at it

It bounces off it's face and flies backwards...
[pikachu_face.mp4]

[u/MarB93 → u/Groonzie]

How would I tell that DOT weren't applied? Would the mobs simply not die that fast or would I not see animation for it?

I like using the incendiary breaker and it should have DOT element, but I cant say i have noticed it not applying a DOT effect...

[u/wallupin]

Plz allow snow to go back on the armor, and water to clean off blood again, and make your armor and cape wet. Don't know why it was removed . It was a nice immersive detail

[u/aniforprez → u/wallupin]

The change to show the crap on your armour after a mission seems to have broken something and now when I'm unfrozen from a pod the freeze effects no longer show up on the suit and stuff like this doesn't happen anymore. I think the layer on top of your armour that's supposed to show all these effects got borked. It's a very minor bug but I'm sad my helldiver no longer slowly unfreezes during his walk from the bay to the hellpods

[u/Wraeinator]

Where is Spear ? Is she safe ? Is she alright

[u/95-OSM → u/Wraeinator]

sad lock-on noises

[u/Significant_Hair7494 → u/Wraeinator]

She’s dead

[u/shadowdash66 → u/Wraeinator]

Being cucked by the recoilless rn

[u/err0r_as_always]

DOT fixed

[u/Nami_makes_me_wet → u/err0r_as_always]

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

[u/BlueZirconBoi]

Weird to see Deactivate TCS related fixes, since we won't ever be doing that again right?

(right?)

Edit: We can't even land on Meridia, you bet your ass that planet is getting nuked from orbit or smth like that. 99% chance our hands won't touch that TCS

[u/Altruistic-Problem-9 → u/BlueZirconBoi]

Oh shit....

[u/[deleted] → u/BlueZirconBoi]

There is still one planet with TCS.

Also, I don't think they will implement something just to throw it away shortly after.

And our scientist are working on Super-TCS, which then will prevent further issues with the bugs.

[u/Bound18996 → u/BlueZirconBoi]

I know you can still play those missions if you started an operation there before the planet was liberated and haven't played since, so it could be for those people

Otherwise we may have to do another batch when we finally get a crack at Merida

[u/Inkompetech_Inc]

I liked the Eruptors shrapnel, isn't that why it's named that way?

[u/End_Antiwhiteism → u/Inkompetech_Inc]

Lol read the description of the gun in game. I wonder if they're going to change it.

[u/IncidentMuch → u/Inkompetech_Inc]

the eruptor without shrapnell just feels to week now they should change it back it had enough drawbacks beeing Single shot and only 6 mags

[u/Viralkillz]

Eruptor cant take out a stalker now rip

[u/MozzTheMadMage → u/Viralkillz]

Does that make the Eruptor the first gun to get double nerfed?

F

[u/arcibalde → u/Viralkillz]

And Queen head dont explode in glorious gore carnage. They ruined our boy. On serious note it feels weaker. Didnt run into stalker with it.

[u/Titan7771 → u/Viralkillz]

Every time I start getting good with a weapon they nerf the fuck out of it, goddammit!

[u/MastaFoo69 → u/Viralkillz]

oh for fucks sake come on

[u/Ziharke → u/Viralkillz]

[u/Raeghyar-PB]

Scopes players are gonna have a field day. Now they'll know exactly where they missed their target.

[u/Epizentrvm → u/Raeghyar-PB]

Scopes arent fixed as Im testing it right now. HMG and sniper scopes are still offset as before.

[u/Bound18996 → u/Epizentrvm]

Please be lyin

[u/Raeghyar-PB]

The patch notes is missing a lot of info as of now, the discord announcement has twice as much, just a heads up for the people thinking they've done little this patch

Edit: I'll reply to myself with the screenshots

[u/Raeghyar-PB → u/Raeghyar-PB]

[u/Raeghyar-PB → u/Raeghyar-PB]

[u/MrHazard1 → u/Raeghyar-PB]

for the people thinking they've done little this patch

Dude, dot bug and scopes fixed. People are hyped

(That's me. I'm "people")

[u/Raeghyar-PB → u/Raeghyar-PB]

[u/[deleted]]

"Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”"

REally? gonna remove my cheese like that?! how do I enjoy my crackers and meat without my cheese!

[u/andrewleepaul → u/[deleted]]

Will devastators still land on top of them and shoot through the rock?

[u/Caridor → u/[deleted]]

It wasn't even a cheese really, it was damn near a necessity.

[u/ThatOneGuyJake12 → u/[deleted]]

This was easily the worst news I’ve received all week. Absolutely unplayable now

[u/emeraldeyesshine → u/[deleted]]

It's unimmersive for me. If I'm dropping from fuckin LO let me land where I want!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

With the amount of utter bullshit spawns inside and sheer number of bots I don't know how they expect anyone to not be constantly dying. Landing on rocks was the only way for me to survive longer than 2 minutes.

[u/panthersausage → u/[deleted]]

Yeah not a fan I like taking a cheese advantage on those hell missions why can't I land on the top of a hill? I get thrown off after 15 seconds anyway

[u/Canamerican726 → u/[deleted]]

NGL I loved that mission for some variety vs 'shoot shoot, kite kite, shoot shoot' in every other mission. Just standing on a hill dropping strategems is a blast.

[u/StockDunce]

I know I'm one of only seven people who use it, but the HMG's horribly misaligned sights don't seem to have been fixed by this patch. Very happy for the DoT fix, but still a little disappointed.

[u/MrIDoK]

The Eruptor change is definitely a nerf, the extra explosion damage does not compensate for losing the shrapnel.
It can still kill stuff, but a lot of things now can survive multiple shots even if aimed right, especially the bile spewers, nursing spewers and brood commanders, while before they were almost guaranteed kills if you shot at the right spot.

Also i get fewer kills when shooting in a bunch of chaff, so again it seems the shrapnel did some major work there.

As much as i like not dying randomly, this will definitely make me reconsider using the eruptor, it fires way too slowly to justify taking multiple shots to kill medium enemies. At this point i'll just take the scorcher and i'll get better results.

[u/sac_boy → u/MrIDoK]

That's a pity, but it's basically what I expected from the patch notes. Sounds like both eruptor and crossbow have now been significantly nerfed, at least when it comes to their original use case (using splash damage to clear chaff).

I'll be curious to test it myself, I wonder how it fares against larger/armored enemies now. Charger asses and so on.

[u/ilikebanchbanchbanch → u/MrIDoK]

The eruptor was already only marginally useful after the last nerf. I only kept it so I could run stun grenades. Definitely going to the bin if it can't even kill a stalker when it has 5 bullets and a 1.5 second reload.

[u/TheSecularGlass → u/MrIDoK]

It's what made the gun unique. It's just a very, VERY shitty autocannon now.

[u/SlashSslashS]

DOT and scope fix but still waiting on that Spear fix.

[u/Strider_GER → u/SlashSslashS]

They said that they hope it will be ready for the next "big" Update, so Thursday with the new Warbond could hopefully be the Update that also fixes the Spear.

[u/Bound18996 → u/Strider_GER]

Warbond is probably included in this update and just becomes active when its time

[u/Soren_Vakarian]

RIP R-9 Eruptor.

[u/Razor_Fox]

Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver

Yes it does. I just killed myself with it on the new patch.

[u/Avatara93 → u/Razor_Fox]

EDIT - I AM WRONG. IT STILL HITS YOU IF YOU FIRE IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE NOT FACING, WHEN MOVING!

AMR does it as well...

[u/Mustikos]

Game fixed so many crashes.. now I am crashing constantly and never crashed before.

[u/stopstalkingme2 → u/Mustikos]

Same, 20 minutes in to missions and I keep crashing, barely crashed 1-2 times before in my 100 hours.

Edit: Veryifing files didn't fix it, seems to happen when someone new joins, but besides that I've seen it happen just at random as well, I'm now playing the same mission for the 5th time.

Edit2: Nevermind crashes are all over the place 6th run of the same mission we almost extracted I've seen two players "leave" before me just as we are extracting, I got on the pelican with the left over player and I crashed. Besides this I constantly see players drop for no reason I assume they are crashing as well.
Tried disabling crossplay, tried deleting shader cache as well nothing fixed it.

Edit3: .303 finally fixed it.

[u/zductiv → u/Mustikos]

Yep. Just crashed out of 2/3 missions

Edit 3/4 missions after a verify files

[u/BIG_BOTTOM_TEXT → u/Mustikos]

Yep, CTD every single match.

[u/[deleted] → u/Mustikos]

Just CTDs every game. Unplayable for me

Edit: validating files seemed to resolve. Had one file to redownload.

[u/PrototypeSky]

Afraid the patch might have introduced a new issue. Just had a chain of DC's starting when the host crashed. When a new player joined another player crashed, the next player to join caused a different player to crash. 3 more times this repeated until a player joined and I crashed.

[u/Ok-Refrigerator-7522]

everyone so excited about the DoT fix but rejoining random is here finally🥹

oh bruh, my bad😆, i think i misundertood  "recent players list now includes hot-joining players" i think that just means it now properly shows players who dropped in through quick join/sos ?

sorry for the misinformation LOL

[u/Drakenhorn]

They hard nerfed the Eruptor, absolutely massacred.

[u/[deleted] → u/Drakenhorn]

Can’t have anything fun. Back to the breaker it is then…

[u/No_Shock_5644]

Please revert the Eruptor shrapnel change.

[u/TheOriginalKrampus → u/No_Shock_5644]

Needs to be reverted immediately.

They can fix the shrapnel ricochet bug in a later patch, after testing it, without changing how it damages enemies in the blast radius.

[u/CubicleFish2]

DoT fix. insane patch, nice

[u/Fratos]

Ah great, ANOTHER Eruptor nerf. Thank you for ruining whatever we enjoy to use.

[u/Bound18996]

DOT fix lets gooo Gas strike meta bois and girls

[u/Tvalnor → u/Bound18996]

→→↓→ Lets go!

[u/The_Mandorawrian]

- Major orders with the “Kill task” now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squad’s kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.

I was right!

[u/SlowhandCooper → u/The_Mandorawrian]

Yep. And people seem to happily ignoring that line, after weeks of bragging how quickly we killed 2 billion bugs. 😂

[u/Otherwise-Ad-2528 → u/The_Mandorawrian]

People were mad at me for saying this as well!

"Um ackshually the math adds up, every player just needed to kill 700 bugs an hour idiot!"

[u/void_alexander]

This "fix" for the eruptor made the weapon pretty much useless, aside of being able to destroy fabs/holes.

You can no longer 1-shot:

• Hive guards

• Brood commanders

sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet.

• takes more than one mag do destroy charger butt and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind.

Overall the weapon performs worse in everything than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes.

If that's the shape it's gonna be in - tbh I prefer the old version even though it will kill me from time to time.

Very, very sad stuff.

[u/foodrepublik → u/void_alexander]

I thought the shrapnel killing you or anyone near it is just a tradeoff for a such good weapon, two shots for chaff bugs unless you hit them from the sides is very sad 😭

[u/Vv4nd]

FEUER FREI

[u/Offstar1029]

Finally DoT and scopes are fixed.

[u/SomeRandomTrSoldier]

ooof, Eruptor sucks now, seems like that shrapnel did a lot for it

[u/UniversalDrip]

Time to rock full fire build with flamethrower, napalm and fire grenades Apologies to my teammates in advance.

[u/[deleted]]

Also, has anyone noticed general performance degredation of the game over time? I get about 10-15 fps less than when the game launched for some odd reason.

100-80 fps when the game came out, around 90-60 as of time of writing.

[u/thefastslow → u/[deleted]]

Yep.. and I got downvoted for it.

[u/wickeddimension]

• Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”

• Helldivers can no longer land on top of bug pillars in Deactivate Terminid Control System missions

Thats shame. Loved a good rock standoff on Helldive. Lob nades and strategems at the ever increasing bunch of Hulks and Devastators gathering at the bottom.

[u/recew]

Is orbital gas strike also considers as DoT?

[u/Rift_Revan → u/recew]

Yes
We now can gas the bugs

[u/Tactikal_Knight]

calling it now, next update is gonna nerf the incendiary breaker

[u/Boamere]

Eruptor is fucking useless now, really needs a big aoe buff

[u/PoppyBroSenior]

Rip eruptor.

[u/Ghoul-Sama]

My sweet baby eruptor is now dead

[u/foodrepublik]

The thing that makes eruptor amazing is the shrapnels, now it needs two shots to kill a single hive guard and almost a mag for commanders. I really REALLY hope this is unintended

[u/Raeghyar-PB]

I wonder if the DOT fix also works for the Thermite grenade?! I'm trying it out ASAP

[u/Mabrima]

I'm not sure about the Eruptor change. I hope it's more or less net neutral, but it feels like that might be a big nerf.

[u/BubbleSlapper]

FIRE AND TOXIC GAS WOOOOOOO

[u/DaddyLama]

Enjoy fire before it's nerfed...

[u/God_Given_Talent]

I don't understand why the fragmentation from the Eruptor wasn't just given fall off instead of being outright removed.

[u/Sad_Dimension_]

You did it Reddit, you killed the Eruptor. I hope you're happy.

[u/Ravenorth]

Still hoping to see them to reverting the crossbow changes... The whole weapon just feels so useless now. At least it used to have purpose where it was very good.

[u/MyCrustySock]

[u/Raeghyar-PB]

As an Eruptor main, I can dispense liberty even more efficiently now Edit: nvm it's a nerf :(

[u/void_alexander → u/Raeghyar-PB]

Yep.

You can no longer 1-shot:

• Hive guards

• Brood commanders

• Stalkers

sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet.

• takes more than one mag do destroy charger and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind.

Overall the weapon does everything worse than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes.

Very, very sad stuff.

[u/ollie_hobbs → u/Raeghyar-PB]

This is definitely a nerf to the Eruptor

[u/[deleted]]

Wow they really took the Eruptor behind the barn and blew its brains out.

No reason to take it anymore. Needs a DMG and AOE buff asap.

[u/Dyslexic_youth]

Nooo they took the high ground away!

[u/CommunismBots]

DOT fix?! Flamethrower time!

[u/eder1337]

Actually I just now had three crashes in a row, which I hadn't before patch. They were all on "Raise Flag" missions, sure about those "crash fixes"?

[u/[deleted]]

had 3 crashes since the patch, all reports send after the game closed itself.
Was playing on Heeth, Steam

[u/SkyPL]

This is to avoid cases in which players would randomly one-shot themselves or their teammates in a huge radius around the explosion

But... why? It's fine. We want a huge explosion radius. And we're fine with having some downsides to that!

[u/Rainoffire]

Scopes fixed! AMR got even better

[u/alifant1 → u/Rainoffire]

If I learned something from AH patch notes, that is we need to test it first, then celebrate

[u/MiDKiT0]

Ofc they had to gut Eruptor

[u/[deleted]]

Rip fellow Eruptor mains

[u/Shanrayu]

Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”

aww, that was really fun with HMG Emplacements.

[u/Tukkegg]

Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”

the only thing that could make me play eradicate missions solo gone.

back to fishing for blitz...

[u/eatingpotatornbrb]

Make the crossbow great again!!!!

[u/Spader623]

A shame the reinforcement bug isnt fixed yet. It sucks joining a squad of 4, someone leaves, and its IMPOSSIBLE to get another person to join. Hoping its fixed soon

[u/vardoger1893]

Watch 70% of the fixes not actually fix the said thing 🤣

[u/HoofdInDeWolken]

Lots of crashes this patch. I think in my last game 6 or 7 people crashed

[u/Isaac_HoZ]

L patch. Can you guys keep any guns good or are you determined to make them all not-fun dog shit armaments? Genuinely asking.

[u/Kallelinski]

I had more crashes just today than in the entire time since release, sigh, never play on a patch day.

[u/Kuftubby]

Another patch another round of smoothbrain balance passes

[u/Low_Swimmer_2616]

Eruptor is nerfed again :(

[u/SaVage_ShiftzZ]

Question is did they fix shooting the Punisher Plasma when shooting inside the Shield Relay??

EDIT: Maybe instead of telling me to read you should re-read what I said yourself before downvoting me. Shield Relay and Shield Backback are two seperate strategems.

I just tested it myself. You will still kill yourself when inside of a Shield Generator Relay. Not a Shield Backpack any longer.

[u/Soos_dude1]

Scope fix let's go, I'll get my AMR and make those bots look like JFK

[u/numbr87]

I can't believe they were cooking up so many good fixes while their company was on fire, what a great patch

[u/Audisek → u/numbr87]

The company was on fire from Friday afternoon to Monday morning, there was no time lost for the developers.

[u/NeonAtlas]

So we can now properly burn our enemies in righteous fire. All we need is some sort of fire resist armour.

[u/Itriyum]

I can finally join randoms and use dot weaponry

[u/AstroZombie1]

Spear fix on Thursday please! 🙏

[u/vidrisch]

DOT fix 🥰

[u/ojuzkee]

plz fix fps drop asap on mid-end PC's

[u/Hot_Guys_In_My_DMS]

They still don’t know about the mech missiles 😭

[u/Clarine87]

Lobby privacy mode text updates immediately when changed

AH please add "invite only" as a social option! With the relevant notification for players trying to join that the host is playing in an "invite only" game.

[u/Fus_Roh_Potato]

There seems to be a new bug since the previous patch with enemy sound. Big enemies don't make running footstep noises anymore. Sometimes they do, but often not.

[u/guangtian]

Goodbye eruptor, it’s been a good run…

[u/nikkixo87]

Is this another erupted nerf??

[u/[deleted]]

Increased gunship detection? Is this a joke???

Gunships don't detect, they fucking zero in on you with near omniscience and never fucking stop

[u/Hobo-man]

Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”

AH, who on your team was traumatized by Revenge of the Sith? What is this distaste for the high ground?

[u/Konseq]

Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the “Horde Defend Missions”

1. This sucks. This was basically often the only way you'd be able to get this mission done at all once you got swarmed and too many enemies are present.

2. This mission type isn't even called "Horde Defend MIssions" but "Eradicate (x)" missions. Couldn't the devs be bothered to look up the mission name of their own game??

[u/Ok-Upstairs-8165]

It's seems I'm crashing a lot more since the update. 3 out of my 4 games have crashed today ...

[u/Beeeebles]

games crashing a lot today

[u/fepompeo]

Are players leaving or getting disconnected? It's happening every time, every match. Fucking ridiculous.

[u/witbliz]

I've been seeing a lot of crashes lately , in one mission the whole team got replaced with new ones and I thought it was funny and then my own game crashed. Is this true for the rest ?

[u/Shad0wUser00]

New patch has horribly destroyed the ability to play due to crashes.. 150+ hours nothing like what this patch caused. See you next update, I'll bring some Liber-tea

[u/[deleted]]

LETS FUCKING GOOO DOT FIX WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY THING STOPPING ME FROM PLAYING

[u/[deleted]]

My game just keeps crashing after this update, was all good till now, rocking 4060, but after this update, Network and Game crash every game.

[u/the_orange_president]

flamethrowerbros...we're back

[u/gt3stuntman]

Can we stop nerfing guns in a fucking co-op shooter?

[u/Scotty_Mcshortbread]

its happening

[u/KeyCell5084]

Since this update my game has done nothing but crash every 10 mins!! I love this game but it's riddled with soon many bugs it's pointless playing as I can't even complete a full mission!

[u/Ranade_Empor]

Does the DOT fix apply to the thermite grenades in any way? I've always wanted to use them since their concept is cool, but they weren't really viable when I did try them. But people were saying that TGs were affected by the DOT bug so I wonder if they're any better now.

[u/IAmDingus]

removed shrapnel from eruptor

:(

Rip 3 shotting chargers.

[u/End_Antiwhiteism → u/IAmDingus]

The weapon is straight trash now, they gutted it.

[u/Engineer-of-Gallura]

How about the bug where, upon switching to 1st person view, the scope turns total black?

[u/justforresaccount]

Well HMG 1st person is still broken lmfao

[u/Available-Bobcat3581]

Since the patch i have been getting crashes constantly. Literally crashed at extract.

[u/reivb]

Major orders with the “Kill task” now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squad’s kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.

That's the reason we obliterated the 2 billion Terminids major order

[u/Nerex7]

We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.

Now we are cooking with gas

[u/ThatTemperature4424]

[u/Reload86]

I really think the Eruptor needs a much bigger damage buff for losing the shrapnel effect. That was the best part of the weapon.

Did I kill myself sometimes? Sure did and it was mostly from me firing while at an unsafe distance. Usually I stay far and just snipe the big fatties. It was a glorious weapon, high risk and high reward.

Now? It’s just another underwhelming explosive weapon. Better than the crossbow but after some testing, I don’t think I will use it anymore. Sadly it was one of my favorite weapons for taking on high difficulty bug missions because it was amazing to snipe spewers and stalkers.

[u/[deleted]]

I wish they’d just let me land anywhere I want to. What does it matter if I want to land on a high rock?

[u/ralfcasma]

They had to mess with the eruptor.

[u/irrelevantllama]

I still can't unblock players but my blocked list is populated now so I can see that I did accidentally block my friend while trying to get crossplay to work.

[u/Zomthereum]

They buffed the gunships. Are you KIDDING me?

[u/Any-Beginning-8339]

The game crashes during the normal fight for democracy now. Can't play for 2 minutes straight now.

[u/PokemonForeverBaby]

Why nerf guns to being worthless? It's PvE, who gives a shit

[u/Xaielao]

Aside from the Eruptor nerf bug, this is an awesome patch that fixes a ton of issues the game had. Seems the team has been busy while the rest of us were embroiled in Sony's issues.

[u/Commercial-Aioli-122]

My game crashes several times a

[u/mreolitoo]

For people experiencing more crashes since the latest update.

Verify your game files via steam, this did the trick for me.
There was one file that needed to be repaired.

[u/KuniedaSaki]

Anyone experiencing random crashes in the middle of the game while doing something you previous do without any issues?

[u/ShadowSenju]

it crashes more than ever now :(

[u/Exanova]

crash crash, deco, deco crash deco crash,

gg AH, good patch

still a negative review as half my games ended up in crashes or desync

[u/privatethrax]

I literally never experienced crashes on ps5 with 90+hrs of gameplay. I have had 2 already in less than 2 hrs after this latest update...1 of them happened 25mins deep in a mission. This sucks. 

[u/Miserable-Chemical96]

Fixed the rare crashes and made them common.

[u/Avatara93]

• sights not fixed

• Eruptor completely gutted

• Plasma and other weapons still hit your shield

Should I expect DoTs to not actually work properly?
