Caution: Snowballs Causing CRASHES in HELLDIVERS 2

Mar 28, 2024 11:31 AM

Players of Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, are being advised to stop engaging in snowball fights within the game due to a bug causing game crashes. The issue predominantly affects snowy planets like Heath, where the snowball-throwing feature becomes a playful mechanic. Community lead Baskinator announced the advice to avoid these interactions on the Helldivers Discord, stating that the developers are working on a fix. The game, which has been a hit since its February launch, selling around three million copies, had previously experienced similar crash issues with arc weapons and stratagems which have been addressed in a recent patch. Gamers who enjoy cooperative shooters and are intrigued by Helldivers 2's community-centered gameplay can learn more about its features, after the bug fixes, by reading reviews and watching gameplay.

Is there a fix yet for the snowball-related crashes in Helldivers 2?

No, as of the recent update from the game's community lead, the developers are still working on a fix for the snowball-induced crashes in Helldivers 2 and are advising players to refrain from engaging in snowball fights until the issue is resolved.

Helldivers 2 is the sequel to the 2015 top-down shooter Helldivers, which was known for its challenging cooperative gameplay and procedurally generated levels. The original game set players as part of an elite military unit known as the Helldivers, completing missions on various planets to protect 'Super Earth' from alien enemies. With the sequel, fans anticipated enhanced gameplay mechanics, deeper strategy elements, and the same frantic cooperative experience that could be shared with friends.
