New Helldivers 2 Patch On the Way to Fix Freezes

Mar 21, 2024 5:15 PM

Arrowhead Game Studios has announced that a new patch is being developed to fix frequent freezing issues in Helldivers 2, with a release expected soon. Players are advised to avoid using weapons such as the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower, as they are believed to be linked to the freezing problem. The issues began after the latest patch, version 1.000.103, was released, aimed at addressing various bugs and glitches, including tweaks to planetary hazards and fixes for a bug that destroyed mechs via missile fire. The upcoming patch aims to resolve the crashing during operations which has been causing progress losses for gamers. Meanwhile, discussions around the game's performance, strategy, and updates continue within the community.

What causes Helldivers 2 to freeze, and what is being done about it?

The recent freezing in Helldivers 2 has been linked to certain in-game weapons and issues within the last patch, but Arrowhead is proactively working on a new patch to resolve this. Until then, players should avoid using the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower.

Helldivers 2 is a hectic top-down shooter and a sequel to 2015's Helldivers, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios. The original game became known for its brutal challenge and cooperative gameplay, as players work as a team to fight off alien enemies in a satirical dystopian future. The game is famous for its mix of strategy and action, requiring players to carefully select their arsenal and equipment before dropping into hostile alien environments. Helldivers 2 continues to build on this formula, expanding on the universe and lore of its predecessor, and is available on platforms including the PS5 and PC.
