Helldivers 2 Devs Urge Fans: No Snowball Fights

In the world of Helldivers 2, the snowy joy of snowball fights is on hold as developer Arrowhead has discovered a pesky crash bug linked to this chilly activity. In a recent update, players have been advised to cease their snowball flinging escapades until a solution is found to stop crashes that occur when snowballs are picked up and thrown. While this may put a damper on wintery warfare, Arrowhead assures players that they are working on a fix. The community, active on both the Helldivers 2 Discord server and subreddit, seems to be heeding the warning for the most part, understanding that playing without interruptions is preferable. Besides, the Galactic War against bots continues to offer plenty of engagement. On the bright side, Arrowhead is also addressing issues with loadouts, as noted by the CEO, which should enhance gameplay experience once resolved. Enthusiasts of the cooperative shooter are hopeful for a quick fix, as Arrowhead has thus far demonstrated swift action in remedying Helldivers 2's technical snags. The game remains a festive and challenging delight for those enlisted in this galactic battle.
