helldivers 2 patch drops: has the spear's curse finally ended

Helldivers 2 just received a fresh patch intended to resolve long-standing issues with the FAF-14 spear. This latest update aims to fix the game's crashing problem when using the spear, a persistent issue despite previous patches. Additional fixes in this update include crash issues during hellpod launch cutscenes for players with unique patterns, the inability of the Plasma Punisher to shoot out of certain shield generators, and the Peak Physique armor passive not affecting weapon ergonomics correctly. The Quasar cannon now gets the correct heat change based on planetary conditions, there's a removal of pink question marks in missions, and Spore Spewers no longer appear purple on some planets. Lastly, operations reset due to player inactivity, and text issues for Chinese and Japanese players have been corrected, along with Japanese voice-overs now available on PS5 and PC.

The new Helldivers 2 patch addresses multiple issues: it resolves crashing problems associated with the FAF-14 spear, fixes a crash during hellpod launch cutscenes for players with unique patterns, corrects the Plasma Punisher's inability to shoot out of certain shield generators, and ensures the Peak Physique armor passive properly affects weapon ergonomics. Additional fixes include the Quasar cannon's appropriate heat change, removal of unintentional pink question marks in missions, proper appearance of Spore Spewers, resetting operations due to inactivity, and fixing text issues for Chinese and Japanese players with the inclusion of Japanese voice-overs on PS5 and PC.

Helldivers 2, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, is a cooperative twin-stick shooter set in a dystopian future where players must work together to complete missions and survive against swarms of alien enemies.
