Terrible news for those of you who enjoy playing Helldivers 2, Arrowhead wants you to avoid snowball fights until further notice

It’s definitely not Christmas, but Christmas is basically canceled in Helldiver 2. Arrowhead recommends that you refrain from throwing snowballs at your friends until further notice until it finds a way around your favorite pastime to avoid inadvertently causing a crash.

Yes, you can probably safely use your arc weapon again without fear of sudden freezing, thanks to the game’s latest patch that prevents that from happening, but now you have to avoid trying to cover it with questionable yellow blobs Someone you found snow in surgery and somehow can live with it.To be fair, you should be by now Make sure those pesky robots are driven back

On the official Helldivers 2 Discord server, Arrowhead community manager Baskinator announced the disheartening news, declaring: “Helldivers, avoid snowball fights.” But don’t worry, this isn’t some sort of punishment for not completing a major order or, uh, being a little too taciturn to stop killing Terminators and actually take on the galaxy’s biggest current threat. “We are aware that picking up and throwing snowballs can cause crashes,” the developers explained. “We hope to resolve this issue in the near future, but until then, we recommend against throwing snowballs.” So if you want to make sure you don’t get kicked out, don’t try to chop people’s heads off every time you land on a cold planet.

People on the game’s Reddit subreddit have definitely not started violating this directive just yet, you know, for their own good, since crashes are naturally something we complain about every time they come up.

Look, maybe we just need a new hobby to focus on during this time. Like, uh, a mid-mission knitting break, or a game of I Spy – even though the answer will probably always be “an automaton is coming to kill us”. Or how about coming up with some knock-knock jokes while you’re stuck in the bunker? Yes, you’re right, none of this is as fun as a snowball fight, but for Pete’s sake, I tried it.

Also, if you’re having issues loading not working properly, it looks like Arrowhead is also investigating these.That’s good, CEO Johan Pilestedt said.

Considering the studio has managed to fix many of the issues in Hellraiser 2 so far, hopefully these won’t bother you for too long so you can keep working on the galactic war.
