🛠️ PATCH 01.000.302 ⚙️ May 7

A democratic day to you Helldivers and Citizens
Today we bring you yet another patch addressing various freedom hampering issues

 

🌍 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.

Release Captain Carlberg wishes you continued success in your democratic endeavors

 

 

Not a whole lot of meat in the latest Helldivers 2 patch on May 2, but it does fix some bad crashes that occur at inopportune times, especially after the previous patch.

Those issues with cross-platform friends and cross-play invites continue to persist, for what seems like months now.

Read more further down below, to find out about other 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.
