Breaking News: Helldivers 2 Patch Update
Hey there, fellow gamers! If you’ve been feeling a bit down about the recent state of Helldivers 2, I’ve got some exciting news for you. A fresh patch has just been released, and it seems like Arrowhead Studios is listening to the community feedback and making some significant improvements.
A Step in the Right Direction
In case you haven’t been keeping up, Arrowhead Studios had previously announced a 60-day plan to address the issues plaguing the game and bring it back to where most players want it to be. This latest update seems to be the first step in that direction, and from what we can see, it’s a positive move.
According to the patch notes for version 01.001.004, the focus of this update is on fixing mechanics that have been causing frustration among players. One significant change is the reduction in the explosion radius of tentacles and light rockets, addressing the excessive ragdolling caused by certain enemies. Arrowhead is also working on improving the overall ragdoll behavior, so stay tuned for more improvements.
Another fix that players will appreciate is the one that prevents flamethrower particles from ignoring enemies, making bug barbecuing a more effective endeavor. While there’s still work to be done on chain fences blocking flamer fire, it’s good to see progress being made.
Fixes and Improvements
The update also addresses issues like a bug where Impaler’s tentacles could chase you endlessly, which sounds both terrifying and hilarious. Additionally, there are fixes for various crash scenarios and the ability to shoot mines near dangerous objects to blow them up.
Arrowhead Studios has acknowledged that there are still ongoing issues that need to be resolved, including enemies not contributing to progress in certain missions and bile titans not taking headshot damage. It’s a work in progress, but it’s great to see the developers actively working to improve the game.
