Helldivers 2 Update Patch Notes 01.000.103 Mar 20

Here are all the details on update patch 01.000.103 for Helldivers 2 on both Steam PC and PlayStation 5

Helldivers 2 Exo-45 Patriot ExoSuit Firewalker
BY ON March 20, 2024

The EXO-45 Patriot exosuit got some bugs fixed, and planetary hazards got tweaked so they wouldn’t wreck Helldivers as much as previously, in this week’s Helldivers 2 patch on Steam PC and PlayStation 5!

The mech no longer blows itself up when firing the rockets during a turn. Guess it wasn’t operator error, after all. And it can continue to melee now, even in a heavily damaged state. A persistent bug remains with the exosuit sometimes being damaged prior to delivery. And all those cross-play and cross-platform invitation issues have not yet been addressed either, sorry multi-platform gang!

Read more further down below, to find out about issues that have NOT been resolved yet. Check out the rest of our guides for potential fixes on some of them, if you continue to be denied your right to deliver democracy.

 

UPDATE

The following announcement was made a few hours later, addressing some of the unresolved issues listed in the patch notes proper:
