Helldivers 2 Making Changes to Heavy Enemies

Arrowhead Game Studios has released a new patch for Helldivers 2, and though it only contains one fix, it’s pretty essential. Patch 1.000.104 ensures your game no longer freezes upon using Arc-based weapons and Stratagems.

Helldivers 2 has dropped two brand-new Stratagems in the game, giving players a couple of new options to help gamers fight off the Terminid and Automaton hordes on the battlefield. While Helldivers 2 already features plenty of ways to take down enemies, every bit of support helps.

Arrowhead Game Studios has responded to player feedback by rolling out Helldivers 2 patch 1.000.104, aimed at tackling some freezing issues that have been plaguing players.

A Helldivers 2 player has come up with a fun way to troll toxic teammates in-game. Helldivers 2 often requires players to work together with strangers, so it’s no fun when toxic players try to ruin the fun.

Helldivers 2 is the best-selling video game of 2024 so far in the USA. Full stop. Done. Accounting for both physical and digital purchases, Circana data places it at the top of the sales charts for both February 2024 and the year so far. The unexpected hit is said to have sold more than eight million copies, but that stat will have increased since. The PS5, PC title beat out competition from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth to land top spot for the month, though the Square Enix sequel did release on the final day of February.
