Arrowhead Game Studios heeft een nieuwe update uitgebracht voor de co-op shooter Helldivers 2. De update richt zich op nogal wat dingen, waaronder wapen- en vijandbalans, oplossingen voor crashes, oplossingen voor het sociale menu, oplossingen voor schade over tijd effecten, oplossingen voor scheve scopes, en andere verbeteringen. Bekijk hieronder de volledige patchnotities.
Als het gaat om balansveranderingen, krijgt het explosieve wapen R36-Eruptor zijn explosieve schade verhoogd met 40. De scherven van het wapen worden ook verwijderd om te voorkomen dat spelers zichzelf per ongeluk in één klap uitschakelen. De vijanden Shrieker en Gunship hebben ook enkele kleine buffs gekregen, waarbij het zicht en gehoor van de Shrieker iets meer bereik hebben gekregen, en het gehoor van de Gunship iets meer bereik heeft gekregen.
Helldivers 2 is de laatste tijd nogal controversieel geweest vanwege de verplichte PSN-accountkoppeling in het spel. Het spel heeft als gevolg daarvan nogal wat tegenwind gekregen, en gebruikersbeoordelingen overal zijn gedaald als gevolg van spelers die protesteren tegen de accountkoppeling.
Helldivers 2 is beschikbaar op PC en PS5. Bekijk hieronder de volledige patchnotities voor de update.
Patch notes for update 1.000.302:
Balancing Primary, Secondary, & Support Weapons R-36 Eruptor
- Increased explosion damage by 40 and removed shrapnel from the explosion
Enemies
- Increased Shrieker sight and hearing range slightly.
- Increased Gunship hearing range slightly
Fixes Gameplay
- We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.

- Fixed issues with some weapon scopes not being aligned in First-Person-View.
- The sound when stimming no longer plays while being interrupted
- Major orders with the “Kill task” now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squad’s kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.
