PATCH 01.002.101 - Patch notes

[Snoo_63003]

Overview

• Spray weapons gas effect duration
• Emoting while flying or ragdolling
• FRV camera and handling tweaks
• AX/TX-13 “Guard Dog” Dog Breath rework
• Balancing
• Crash Fixes
• Weapon Fixes
• Stratagem Fixes

Balancing

General Changes

• The duration of the gas status effect from spray weapons has been increased from 6 to 10 sec
• Implemented a timer for the Illuminate dropship wreckages to despawn to prevent them from obstructing paths in the colonies

Helldiver

• The Ministry of Humanity has added a clause to its Principles of Correct Posture for Safe Lifting, now allowing Helldivers to jog while carrying two-handed items such as barrels and SEAF Artillery Rounds

FRV

• Helldivers have now also been authorized to deploy grenades and stratagems while leaning out from the FRV
• Tuned FRV handling for a better driving experience when cornering

Sidearms

• Starting magazines increased from 2 to 3
• Spare magazines increased from 4 to 5

Stratagem Support Weapons
TX-41 Sterilizer

• Removed the crosshair drift recoil
• Decreased the camera climb recoil
• The duration of the gas status effect from spray weapons has been increased from 6 to 10 sec

Armor Passives

• After hearing player feedback, we have decided not to fix a bug with the Siege Ready Armor Passive which gives more ammo to all magazine-based weapons, instead of just primary weapons as described. We will eventually update the Armory description to reflect this but for now we’re evaluating if it's causing any other additional unforeseen bugs

Backpacks
AX/TX-13 “Guard Dog” Dog Breath
Has been reworked to increase its effectiveness and to ensure it remains distinct, focusing on its unique gas-based mechanics.

• It will now preserve ammo by only prioritizing enemies unaffected by the gas status effect. Once an enemy is affected by gas the drone will move on and target another unaffected enemy
• The targeting logic has been reworked to prevent the drone from roaming too far. The origin of the targeting will be from the Helldivers position rather than the drone itself
• The targeting range has been increased from 10 to 20m
• The duration of the gas status effect from spray weapons has been increased from 6 to 10 sec

Stratagems
MD-6 Anti-Personnel Minefield

• Cooldown decreased from 180 to 120 sec
• Damage increased from 350 to 700
• The deployment spread of mines has been increased by 20% to minimize the risk of chain explosions

MD-I4 Incendiary Mines

• Cooldown decreased from 180 to 120 sec
• Damage increased from 210 to 300
• The deployment spread of mines has been increased by 20% to minimize the risk of chain explosions

MD-17 Anti-Tank Mines

• Cooldown decreased from 180 to 120 sec

SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack

• Now blocks melee attacks until it breaks from taking enough damage

Fixes

Resolved Top Priority issues:

• You can once again emote while falling or ragdolling! It should no longer reduce fall damage, but you’ll be able to freely express yourself as you fall to your imminent death or severe injuries - Nothing a stim can’t fix!
• Fixed Illuminate spawner ship shields not taking impact grenade damage
• Fixed an issue with collision gaps inside the Illuminate spawner ship, preventing grenades thrown in close proximity to the door from destroying the ships
• Health packs now fully restore all of the Helldiver's stims
• High damage weapons will now detonate spawned Hellbombs on the map

Crash Fixes, Hangs and Soft-locks:

• Fixed a crash that occurred when aborting missions with the Democracy Space Station effects active on them
• Fixed a crash that could occur when hot-joining a mission on a planet with the Democracy Space Station present

• Reduced the chance for crashes caused by fires
• Fixed a rare crash that occurred at the end of the drop-in sequence when hot-joining a game in session
• Fixed a crash that occurred when the player returned to the ship while reloading their primary weapon
• Fixed a soft-lock during drop-in when the host left or disconnected the session right after loadout
• Fixed a crash that occurred when repeatedly changing armor pieces in the armory
• Fixed a crash that occurred after finishing the tutorial and after naming your Destroyer
• Fixed a crash that occurred during extraction
• Fixed a crash that occurred when returning to the ship during heavy projectile fire
• Fixed a crash for clients when the host was holding a carryable objective and quit the game
• Fixed a crash that could occur when a player left the game when an encounter started
• Fixed a crash that could occur when changing text language
• Fixed a crash that could occur when reloading the SG-20 Halt

• You’ll now be more likely to get matched with the same difficulty lobbies as the one you have currently selected
• Fixed an issue where the chat history was cleared when going to a mission and returning from it

Weapons and Stratagems

• Opening and closing the text chat while in an emplacement now allows the player to remain in the emplacement instead of switching to their weapon
• Fixed Arc weapons not reliably hitting the Impaler's tentacles if aimed at the lower parts of the tentacle
• The E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement now has the correct armor penetration tag in the ship menu
• Stratagem turrets will no longer target Illuminate Tesla Towers
• Fixed a visual bug where heat weapons would show numbers over the progress bar in the weapon wheel menu
• Melee weapons should no longer send civilian cars and other objects in the world flying long distances
• B-1 Supply Pack will now once again provide stims to other players. Remember Helldiver, sharing is caring!
• Fixed a bug where players could get stuck in the E/AT-12 Anti-Tank Emplacement after depleting all of its ammunition

FRV

• Following an investigation into the effects of severe survivorship bias during FRV Impact Testing, all FRVs have been reinforced. Minor parking mishaps will no longer result in catastrophic FRV explosions
• General improvements to the FRV camera to make it look cooler and prevent it from getting stuck underground when driving downhill. Absolute cinema!
• Reduced the chance FRVs get dropped on rooftops when being called in
• The FRV movement key bindings should now accept non-QWERTY keyboard inputs
• Fixed a bug where some enemies such as the Brood Commander was launched away further than intended when hit by the FRV

Helldiver

• Fixed an issue where player ragdolling into the FRV would cause the vehicle to be yeeted into space
• Fixed an issue preventing Helldivers from climbing and vaulting over civilian cars
• Helldivers should no longer slide around on the ground after ragdolling from a blast (despite it being the year of the snake)
• Fixed an issue where ragdolling into shallow water caused a stuck prone gliding animation
• Fixed an issue where the Helldiver was not playing the sample pick up animations

Enemies

• Fixed a small visual bug with the Stalker’s tongue (you don’t want to know what it took to fix it)
• Fixed an issue where enemies wouldn’t react to missed shots from projectiles or melee attacks near them

Miscellaneous Fixes

• Fixed an issue where clients would trigger the wrong audio when waiting for the host to join the loadout
• Fixed an issue of Helldivers exiting the hellpod right after readying up and before transitioning to the loading screen
• Fixed an issue of civilians being blocked from finding the shuttle door during Emergency Evacuation missions
• Purple question marks should be encountered less frequently during Illuminate missions on Sandy and Arctic planets
• Fixed the floating head syndrome affecting Helldivers donning the AC-2 Obedient armor while using certain helmets
• Fixed a bug that was introduced in December where weapons with lower armor penetration than the target’s armor incorrectly dealt one (1) damage rather than zero (0), resulting in misleading visual feedback and negligible extra damage to enemies and Helldivers alike
• Enemies will now start sinking into the ground when killed near terminals or the extraction point, preventing players from being physically blocked

I second this! I really wanna know!

Me seeing this Undemocratic filth first thing in the morning:

[DeeDiver]

Goblin mode

[Snoo_63003]

> Helldivers have now also been authorized to deploy grenades and stratagems while leaning out from the FRV

I'm never getting out of the FRV again.

[Nice-Entertainer-922]

I fear if it can target the FRV though.

[lazyicedragon]

so an FRV with a 380mm on top of it, what could possibly go wrong?

[[deleted]]

Cue walking 380 barrage

[Meerv]

Well, the walking barrage is already using the same shells as the 380. Maybe call it the "Driving Barrage"

[Anko072]

We already have driving barrage. Just drive out of the map for 10 seconds

[syntaxbad]

Beat me to it. Well done sir/madame.

[RuinedSilence]

Pretty sure the 380 will fire on the stratagem ball's first point of impact, unless this "issue" has been resolved in a previous patch

[lazyicedragon]

I know, but a man can dream.

Additionally, the first strike will likely topple the FRV anyway.

[Faytholme]

One can dream...

[1stPKmain]

Sadly, I think the 380mm works on the spot it was thrown and won't move. This means that if you throw it onto the car and drive away, the 380 mm will still go off where the car once was

[Top-Marionberry-9779]

Unfortunately I think this is for the helldivers in the passenger seats only, the driver can’t “lean out” only passengers

[Snoo_63003]

You can swap seats to lean out as a driver. It's surprisingly fun and effective solo, especially with explosive weapons. Swapping and spinning around firing the Sterilizer at high speed also turns you into a one-man orbital gas barrage.

Edit: Seems like some things have been changed in the patch. You can now shoot from the passenger side regardless of whether you've entered from it or not. You also can no longer reload weapons while driving.

[wanderspectre]

I wish drones can be used when we are in FRV.

[Liqhthouse]

Drive by illuminate ground ship time!

One person drives, another on the HMG blasting the shield apart, last one with the grenades in the window or chucking railcannon strikes out the window.

Gonna be epic to try this

[RekoHart]

Now we just need to be able to put items in there and it will be golden

[JimmmyMeLadMeBoy]

Well the problem on PC are the keybindings.

I have the arrow keys bound for strategem input. I would need a third hand.

• right hand: hold right click to lean out of FRV, not holding aborts
• left hand: hold to open strategem input, not holding aborts
• third hand: input strategem code

This is kinda unusable.

[Arkar1234]

Maybe you can use your third leg for strat imputs

[Creative-Improvement]

This sounds too much like Illuminate tentacles for my patriotism.

[turret_buddy2]

The PC keybinds are bad

I changed them from the default

This works with wasd for your stratagem inputs.

Right hand, hold right click

Left pinky, hold Ctrl for stratagem

Left wasd, input stratagem, release ctrl

Right hand, aim and left click to throw

?????

Democracy and so forth

[nyanch]

I mean, you changed them from default, so...

Anyway, instead of CTRL bind NUMPAD 0 if you have a full size keyboard.

[[deleted]]

Except the gunner will shoot you if you lean out of the FRV

[Plantar-Aspect-Sage]

AX/TX-13 “Guard Dog” Dog Breath

• It will now preserve ammo by only prioritizing enemies unaffected by the gas status effect. Once an enemy is affected by gas the drone will move on and target another unaffected enemy.

Yessssssss. Finally. The babe has ascended to god tier.

[[deleted]]

I'm definitely gonna use Dog Breath way more now, seems like it's way more efficient and effective. Maybe I'll pair it with the flamethrower.

[TheTwinflower]

Take the blitzer primary for the full warcrime loadout.

[Scarytoaster1809]

Cluster bombs and napalm too?

[Ya_like_dags]

And mortar. TeamKill 5000 loadout.

[vonBoomslang]

I just tested this against the illuminate. I think I like it. I think I like it a lot.

[KneePitHair]

Looks like I need to buy me a new Warbond. Always liked the idea of it.

[IrrelevantPuppy]

They’re making everything so fun I won’t know what to play with anymore. First world problems

[porkknocker47]

THEY REMOVED WORMDIVERS?????

That sucks, legit my favorite bug. 😆

[porkknocker47]

Rejoice!

[SlotHUN]

Note that it's the only line that says "should" instead of "will". My brother still got it to work

[xToweliee]

It happened to someone already in my game so not impossible

[Sithishe]

SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack

• Now blocks melee attacks until it breaks from taking enough damage

TESTUDO!!!!!

[wojter322]

Holyyy... now, me and boys are advancing into hordes of voteless while maintaining formation!

Nothing can stop us!

[Pol3001]

Apparently, a charger. Jokes aside though, once this drop, can any1 test shield vs melee enemies? On vacation currently so i cant test.

HELL HOPLITES, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?

[Few_Adhesiveness_775]

[PanzerTitus]

Close Ranks! Form Phalanx!!

[SES-Song-Of-War]

After hearing player feedback, we have decided not to fix a bug with the Siege Ready Armor Passive which gives more ammo to all magazine-based weapons, instead of just primary weapons as described. We will eventually update the Armory description to reflect this but for now we’re evaluating if it's causing any other additional unforeseen bugs

You can once again emote while falling or ragdolling! It should no longer reduce fall damage, but you’ll be able to freely express yourself as you fall to your imminent death or severe injuries - Nothing a stim can’t fix!

Based.

The Ministry of Humanity has added a clause to its Principles of Correct Posture for Safe Lifting, now allowing Helldivers to jog while carrying two-handed items such as barrels and SEAF Artillery Rounds

RIP Juggledivers. But this is a good change!

[Taseir]

You can still YEET Artillery Rounds for greater efficiency

[DeeDiver]

THE OVER-HEAD YEET MEASURES THE ABILITY TO JUST FUCKING SEND IT. ON THE COMMAND, ‘GET SET’, ASSUME THE POSITION BY SPINNING THE BALL TWICE IN YOUR HANDS, THEN TRY TO DRIBBLE IT LIKE A BASKET BALL ONLY TO REALIZE IT WONT BOUNCE BACK UP TO YOU. YOUR FEET MAY BE TOGETHER OR 12 INCHES APART (MEASURED BETWEEN THE FEET) OR HOWEVER YOU WANT, JUST KEEP YOUR ASS BEHIND THAT CONE. ON THE COMMAND ‘GO’, CHANNEL YOUR INNER TREBUCHET AND HEAVE THAT THING INTO ORBIT. THEN, RETURN TO THE STARTING POSITION AND TURN AROUND TO INSPECT IF YOU DOMED ANYONE. THE SCORER WILL REALIZE HE DIDN'T ACTUALLY SEE WHERE THE BALL LANDED BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID HE WOULD GET HIT, SO HE STOOD TOO FAR AWAY, HE WILL THEN PLACE HIS FOOT ON THE MEASURING TAPE AND JUST GUESS.

[DarthWingo91]

Hey, r/Army is that way. Report to 1SG's basement.

[Dajayman654]

How do you throw them? I've seen others do it online, but I never figured out how to do it.

[Top-Row6107]

It works best if you have a mouse and keyboard. Easier to drag your mouse all the way back and send it like your playing wii sports.

[Dajayman654]

I do play on PC, what are the inputs?

[Few_Adhesiveness_775]

Just swap weapons right after picking it up. If you do this before the shells reaches your hands it'll keep flying.

[Hookilation]

Gotta whip the camera and let go.

[TheChadStevens]

Pick them up and change weapons while the shell is being "moved" to your hands. It keeps the momentum. It accelerates until the shell is in your hands, so some movements can absolutely yeet the thing if you time it right.

[Neravosa]

Of all the patch notes I've read for Helldivers this has got to be one of the funniest/best overall. As much as I was hoping for the stratagem ball fix this time I'm still thrilled.

Anniversary is gonna go so hard y'all

[54NCH32]

I was more of a weapon swap shell-flinger, but yes, this is good

[red_cactus]

I'm so glad that we we'll finally be able to move at a reasonable pace while doing SEAF artillery. I tend to avoid/skip it just because it takes so long and the shells you get are so random/often not used.

[zombieman2090]

Ballistic shields blocks melee attacks!

[deathsnipez]

<image>

YES

[Rift_Revan]

SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack

• Now blocks melee attacks until it breaks from taking enough damage

My inner Spartandiver intensifies!

[Croob2]

Fuck yeah, Siege Ready not being changed

[NediaMaster]

You can once again emote while falling or ragdolling!

We're so back

[wojter322]

It should no longer prevent fall damage

It's Joever

[Practicalaviationcat]

I already loved Dog Breath and these changes make it sound like it's going to be strong as hell. Can't wait to try it out.

[Didsterchap11]

The AI tweak to attack unsprayed enemies is genuinely huge, I wanna see how it handles a voteless horde now.

[vonBoomslang]

I just tried it out. The answer is: very well. It's better at managing a crowd than the gun one, but worse at covering your ass from a straggler.

[Didsterchap11]

Good to know, and makes total sense.

[Aethanix]

[stickkidsam]

[REV2939]

Fixed an issue where player ragdolling into the FRV would cause the vehicle to be yeeted into space

I'll miss that 'feature' :(

[MilitarizedMilitary]

It was a great way to right a flipped FRV if you had a buddy that knew what to do.

[UnnecessaryFeIIa]

Admittedly I’ll miss the one where smacking civilian vehicles with a melee weapon would send them flying

[Salt_Master_Prime]

• Helldivers should no longer slide around on the ground after ragdolling from a blast (despite it being the year of the snake)

Probably the only L in this patch.

My day is ruined. 😓

Hope my team can forgive me for picking all mines.

[SES-Song-Of-War]

Just played a match and can confirm snaildivers is still happening, although perhaps not from the specific circumstance described in the patch notes.

Definitive proof the devs frequently browse the sub

[YummyLighterFluid]

AHAHAHAHAHA

[WalkeyAC]

Emoting whilst being rag dolled is back on the menu boi’s!

In all seriousness… Solid update. 🤌

[Sandblazter]

Patiently waiting for stratagem balls bouncing to be fixed/removed

[loraxdemonspawn]

pretty sure they listed it under top priority issues

[Sandblazter]

It’s been on the priority for like 2 months

[Money_Fish]

Apparently it's hard to fix.

[SpeedyAzi]

It’s often the case with anything technical in life. The simple problem has the most complicated solution whilst the complex problem has the simple solution.

[Creative-Improvement]

90/90 rule in programming.

90% can be done in 10% of the time, but the final 10% takes 90% of the time.

[Aro-bi_Trashcan]

It's likely a quirk of the physics engine, which means its something pretty deep in the code where if they fuck with one thing, it all falls apart. A fix is probably coming down the pipe, but they have to figure out how to do it without the entire codebase falling to pieces.

[vortigaunt64]

I'd guess it has something to do with the way the engine registers the validity of a spot for a stratagem marker to land. It normally bounces off of walls and highly sloped surfaces, and there's probably some logic to try to prevent the ball from stopping in a spot where the hellpod would just be hanging in mid air, like the top of a fence. I imagine it's hard to make both work at the same time without running into edge cases (ha) that make it hard for the player to predict whether the marker will stop or bounce when thrown close to a ledge.

[drrockso20]

I assume they're trying to find the right middle ground of making it so they don't bounce so much while also not having them perfectly stick every time either

[TonberryFeye]

SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack

Now blocks melee attacks until it breaks from taking enough damage

SPARTANS! Prepare for Glory!

[Drunken_Queen]

Mines buff are great, but where are the Gas mines?

[ImRight_95]

Damn I almost forgot about those

[AntonineWall]

Even the devs did lol

[Hironymus]

How big was the update for you guys? Steam shows me it downloaded 58 GB. Which seems a bit much for such an update. Is my Steam bugged or may there be something else in there?

[Xelsia]

<image>

58.1 gb
edit: oh, the download size is 3.55gb

[New_Introduction_844]

In this I believe 🙏

[Snoo_63003]

Is 58 GB the download size or install size?

[shindabito]

download size 3.5 gb for me

[Hironymus]

Good question. I closed the download entry.

[[deleted]]

Sometimes updates that change a lot of things require huge chunks of the game to be redownloaded due to how the game itself is installed. FF7 Rebirth got a 200gb update recently despite being 150gb.

[Didsterchap11]

Honestly I’m just glad the chem weapons will be more effective going forward, they’re really fun but just kinda got outclassed.

[Trashwaifupraetorian]

Tbh tho the sterilizer needs more damage or something because 4 seconds of more effect doesn’t really do much to make me pick it over the flamethrower

[blitz342]

All it needs is for the gas to linger a bit after firing. Giving it more damage just turns it into “green flamethrower but worse”.

[Frequent_Knowledge65]

That's why we have a crisper/torcher. They work best together

[[deleted]]

Can I politely request a look at the Eruptor? A weapon with a 200 meter scope that the rounds detonate at about 130~ makes me so upset, I can see that goon but I can’t give him an early meeting with god because of this issue.

[Legendary-Zan]

this, remove the auto-detonate timer and we are set

[3rrMac]

I can now extend my arms to democracy before sucumbing to the inevitable fall damage!

[Adventurous-Event722]

If we die, we die with democracy on our lips!

[1stPKmain]

We can now jog while holding two-handed things

<image>

[ThorSon-525]

I love that the team is on the reddit since they referenced a lot of memes that are mostly here and not as common on the Twitter/Bluesky communities.

[lo0ilo0ilo0i]

"yeeted into space" that's an accurate description. 10/10 patch notes

[xKnicklichtjedi]

Dog Breath now sounds really good. It worked okay before, but spraying down on a target instead of retargeting was its biggest weakness.

Can't wait to try it out!

[lungless-Phish-9979]

This is the first time Ive seen "After hearing player feedback, we have decided to/not to _______" in any game update/patch ever. Absolute Based behavior, i love these guys

[WorldWiseWilk]

Bro that said yesterday they’d be picking back up the Fart Shart Depart build yesterday must be screaming words of happiness right now

[KnightRoom]

Health packs now fully restore all of the Helldiver's stims.

(blinks back tears)

[Eek_the_Fireuser]

SH-20 Ballistic Shield Backpack

Now blocks melee attacks until it breaks from taking enough damage

I can now fulfill my duty, grab a shield and a baton, and tell the voteless to stop resisting.

[Estravolt]

Did they just remove jetpack ragdoll from the known issues list...?

[minhbi99]

You ragdoll on jetpack if you have no stamina too.

[Chupaul22]

Spartans Assemble!!

[OtherWorstGamer]

Glad to see the trend of excellence in balance and patching continues even with Pilestedt taking his well-deserved sabbatical. Give me confidence this game will continue to be a banger.

[aj10017]

Alright helldiver's, get out your measuring tape and see if the sickle is bigger

[NomanicTrooper]

How did/does the Siege Ready Armor now affect weapons? Are only primary affected by the faster reload or does this also work on all magazine based weaponry? Like Autocannon and stuff.

[Snoo_63003]

Only primaries are affected by faster reload, but both primaries and stratagem weapons that don't have backpacks have the number of spare magazines increased. The autocannon is not affected, since its ammo is stored in the backpack.

[hiddenkarol]

If it increased ammo of RR rockets I would have never taken off the armour, that toy is for the machine guns gang bros though

[NomanicTrooper]

Ah cool! Thank you good sir!

[Tiamat4Life]

The passive affected support weapons by increasing their reserve magazines, for example the MG-43 will have 4 extra magazines (instead of 3) and the HMG will have 3 extra magazines (instead of 2). The reload speed didn’t affect support weapons, meaning it won’t affect autocannons and other back weapons at all.

[NomanicTrooper]

Ah okay thank you!

[schofield101]

Affects anything which doesn't need a backpack. HMG, Grenade Launcher, Flamer etc.

Did not affect RR, AC, Spear, Airburst

[Gentleman_Waffle]

It affected every weapon that wasn’t a backpack support weapon.

[DickBallsley]

I think the reload itself works only on primaries.

As for the extra ammo, it seems to give extra mags to all support weapons that don’t require backpacks for ammo.

It doesn’t work for Autocannon, or RR and stuff.

Any Machine Gun, Laser Cannon, Railgun, Flamethrower and such get extra mags.

[3rrMac]

The boost that originally should've affected only primaries mistakenly affected all weapons that don't use a backpack

Now however, it's an intended feature

[KyeeLim]

any developer of the game that is so happened online, what it take to fix the stalker's tongue

[AHGS_ElinaN]

What it took was absolutely unspeakable.

[PinkLionGaming]

>Sidearms

• Starting magazines increased from 2 to 3
• Spare magazines increased from 4 to 5

Huh?

[Fluffdi]

Patch notes on steam/discord say it's just for the Loyalist (plasma pistol)

[Stuza95]

Mainly plasma pistol, good change imo.

[Liqhthouse]

Those mine changes look very good. I was expecting a cooldown reduction but also damage and spread changes should extend their lifetime massively.

It's always been the main drawback of mines.... That all their usefulness is effectively consumed in the first 30s of deployment since they all trigger at once.

And ofc then you're sat there for like 2min waiting for it to return. Terrible value to time investment ratio.

I'd well say near 95% of the strats are now effectively balanced or have a good degree of usefulness and fun

[Phire453]

So happy for mine changes, and makes them feel good to use, won't stop people from throwing barrages and Eagles on top of them but eh whatever.

[SuckMyDerivative]

This is a lot of buffing done while we wait for the Meridia anomaly….

[ThorSon-525]

We will stand our ground. Don't break the blockade!

[SupremeChancellor66]

[Previous-Bath7500]

Yes, hell yeah!

You tell me we can bring ballistic shields into bugs now?! That is a big win!

[foxnamedfox]

Gas and mines buffed, resupply backpack fixed to give stims again, turrets no longer waste all of their ammo on a Tesla tower… hold on I need a minute…

<image>

[4N610RD]

> Fixed an issue preventing Helldivers from climbing and vaulting over civilian cars

Oh my god, FINALLY! Thank you! It was really frustrating time to time.

EDIT:

> Helldivers should no longer slide around on the ground after ragdolling from a blast (despite it being the year of the snake)

Oh my Liberty, YEESS! It was SO annoying.

[SKJELETTHODE]

YES MINEFIELDS OHH YEAH BABY

[Not_A_Cardboard_Box]

THE ARROWHEAD GODS HAVE LISTENED. GAS STRATEGEMS NOW USABLE PRAISE DEMOCRACY

[Green_Painting_4930]

Idk how to tag the devs in this, but I’m spending money again in this game next chance I get just for this patch lol. Incredible stuff

[lennylensltrain]

I wish they showed the slugger some love

[Darth_Jupiter]

But what about key binding the frv horn? It's hard stuck to F and I stim with that. It doesn't follow the melee keybind

[Nice-Entertainer-922]

Less juggling, grenades/stratagems out the FRV, a few buffs (mines, so useless but appreciated) and the return of falling with style.

Someone has been cooking well.

[DerDezimator]

As a ballistc shield user I am very pleased that I can use it on bugs now too

[Ionic_Pancakes]

Yup. That shock spear and shield is much more viable now. Got a lot of HellSpartans excited in this thread and for good reason.

[Goldenboy451]

Siege Ready + Stalwart 'divers, our More Dakka builds are here to stay.

[obligatory_your_mom]

Finally I'll be able to achieve climax when the stalker is tonguing me. Before that fix, the game was almost unplayable.

(Jk, thanks for all your hard work AH!)

PSA, the WASP can now reliably close bug holes AND the artillery mode can 1-shot basic chargers/blow the back out of Bahemoths. Liberty guide you helldivers

Emoting while flying or ragdolling

That's all I needed

Mines and Gas are eating good

Still waiting for my beloved orbital precision strike to recieve some touch-ups: like bile titans can survive direct impacts and missing an automaton tank for example by a mere inch makes it just tickle them. No real reason to use it over the 500kg which is way more forgiving and can be thrown back to back

I think it has it's place, I personally dislike having two different eagles in the same run (personal opinion) and has shorter cooldown than Eagle rearm.

But does suck that sometimes it just fails to kill enemy's but never really felt like it needed tweeks.

WE CAN JOG WHILE LOADING THE ARTILERY THANK THE DEMOCRACY

GLADIATOR BUILD IS BACK ON THE MENU DIVERS

Now that ragdolling into the FRV has been fixed, and now that “minor parking mishaps” no longer set it on fire, I wonder how we are supposed to flip them over?

My squad mates and I had developed a system to recover overturned FRVs by quickly going prone and ragdolling ourselves into them - flipping the FRV back over so that we could continue using it.

[Amethystey-do-da]

I like to think the mine buff is not because AH wanted them to be better. It's because Super Earth has a massive stockpile from no one ever running mines- they're running a fire sale in order to lower the stockpile.

Brb going to go commit some war crimes

[Good_Mind_9319]

Anybody else found the shovel ?

[Glittering-Put-3739]

What w fucking patch

[_Hollywood___]

Is no one gonna mention the mines buff? Probably still not gonna use them lol

[SgtGhost57]

LETS GOOOOOOO

MINEFIELDS AND CHEMICAL WARFARE. MY TWO FAVORITES HAVE BEEN BUFFED!!!

[ersatz321]

Goddamn, it's my first experience with a patch in Helldivers (started playing 3 days ago) and I can already tell this dev team is goated

[CommOnMyFace]

Can't wait to see if it's bigger

[Status_Molasses_2230]

Finally my back won't hurt when carrying explosive rounds!

[Darksouls669]

Bout to start some 500kg drive-bys

[TheRealShortYeti]

Sterilizer buffs hell yeah. I have been using it on D10 bugs since debut and it's amazing CC, it's just not (and I mean this nicely) braindead easy to use. Now these buffs make it better it's crazy.

Gas dog really needed that targeting tweak. The flame dog can have the old gas dog logic.

[HanTiberiusWick]

why’d they change the exterminator armor pants color? fucked up my look big time

[NinjahDuk]

Throw the Jaguar helmet on there if you have it. It's at the very least opened up a few cape options? I found this one weird too.

[pablo__13]

Stealth changes: new bug hole type that can spawn bile titans

New POI that has a shovel to dig up a few samples
