Arrowhead Game Studios has released update 1.000.301 for Helldivers 2, bringing various crash fixes and massive performance improvements to the game. Many players have reported a dramatic decrease in performance since the last Helldivers 2 update, but it seems that the issue should now be resolved.
Despite being released for a few months now, Helldivers 2 continues to draw in new players with frequent content updates and bug fixes. Helldivers 2 was a surprise success at first, but Arrowhead Game Studios has ensured that players are always coming back for more, with new Stratagems, new Warbonds, and new enemies always being added to the game. Just recently, Helldivers 2 reached an impressive sales milestone, confirming the game as one of the biggest success stories of the year so far.
Arrowhead Game Studios has released the full list of Helldivers 2 patch notes on Steam, and this time around, it's a very small update. A couple of well-known crashes have been fixed, including one that could occur during the post-mission end screen. On top of this, the performance issues first reported after the release of update 1.000.300 for Helldivers 2have now been solved. The list of issues known to the developer remains the same as the previous patch, and hopefully another large update will be deployed in the future to address these. While update 1.000.301 might not be the biggest Helldivers 2 patch ever, it's still an important one that should massively improve the player experience.
The developer of Helldivers 2 has done a great job at frequently liaising with the community, keeping players in the loop on upcoming changes, and asking their opinions on features via an active Discord group. Helldivers 2 recently addressed the controversial ricochet and shrapnel changes that were causing players to die in strange ways, outlining a potential fix coming in the future. It's this type of interaction that makes the developer so popular with the game's community — if something isn't right, gamers are safe in the knowledge that the studio will make every attempt to put it right.
With so much content on the way for Helldivers 2, gamers are always curious to find out what's coming next. One recent rumor suggests that a new plasma pistol has been leaked for Helldivers 2, giving players a new type of weapon to take onto the battlefield. These types of leaks should always be taken with a pinch of salt, however. While some will make their way into the game, not every idea or concept will be the same, even if dataminers discover proof of their existence.
