After last week’s Helldivers 2 patch, a new issue arose that saw players’ games crashing at extraction or upon mission completion. Fortunately, a hotfix has finally been released to address the issue.

Weapons that do explosive damage are better represented in the user interface now, making it clearer that they are not as weak as they initially appear.

Those issues with cross-platform friends and cross-play invites persist.
