Helldivers 2 has been experiencing a lot of issues since its latest patch was released yesterday, but the good news is that Arrowhead has now revealed that they’re working on a new patch that should fix the biggest issue – the game freezing regularly.
When will this new patch be released? From the looks of it, the answer will come soon, and the developers recommend you stay away from some guns until then. Considering how quickly it fixes an issue with the recent game Galaxy War not recording progress correctly, I’ll be listening.

The news was revealed via the official Helldivers 2 Discord server, with community manager Baskinator writing: “We have identified the cause of the freezes that many players are experiencing and we are building a patch to fix it, which should resolve the issue.” Preparing for deployment early next week. “
“In the meantime,” they added, “we recommend against using Arc Throwers, Arc Shotguns, and Tesla Towers as these appear to be related to this issue. Thank you for your continued patience!” So please stay away. The strange lightning striker sounds feasible for the moment.
If you’re a little unfamiliar with Helldivers right now, more crash and freeze issues are basically popping up after patch 1.000.103 was released, which included a bunch of tweaks to planetary hazards and fixed a bug that was only available through A way to accidentally destroy your own mecha by launching a missile. Because hiccups can occur halfway through or near the end of the procedure, causing you to lose all progress, they are always a huge headache.
Hopefully with the next patch, everything will be ironed out and we’ll all be able to go back and kill Terminators in various ways while not paying attention to any other potential signs that the threat may be on the rise once we iron out these bugs.
In the meantime, you can listen to our podcast about the best games that are unofficial adaptations of movies or TV shows that I didn’t participate in, but are therefore probably more interesting than if I actually showed up.
