Helldivers 2 simply received a recent patch, patch 01.001.201, and whereas it isn’t fairly as beefy as these launched as a part of Arrowhead’s simply over 60 day plan, it is nonetheless received lots of stuff in it. For instance, there are a heap of fixes to bugs involving bugs and an enormous change to the Punisher Plasma.
That is the primary huge replace the sport’s gotten since patch 01.001.104 closed out that plan with its personal laundry record of tweaks, and it comes simply after the divers have been given a reasonably robust activity within the Galactic Struggle, following a pleasant Liberty Day break.
So, what does it do? Nicely, let’s begin off with the 2 balancing adjustments outlined within the notes. To begin with, the Protect Generator Relay stratagem’s had its lifespan upped from 30 to 40 seconds, however the greater information issues an vitality weapon:
“In response to widespread Helldiver demand, Normal Brasch has issued an administrative order to revert the manufacturing adjustments made to the SG-8P Punisher Plasma (from Patch 01.001.104),” Arrowhead writes, “We’ve got reverted the most recent adjustments so the SG-8P Punisher Plasma will now have a extra noticeable arc in its projectile path, beginning off slower and sustaining velocity longer. This can have an effect on its recoil, fireplace charge, and projectile conduct. To additional enhance its effectiveness, the journal capability has elevated from 8 to 10.”
Past that, the studio’s put out an entire bunch of bug fixes, together with some for “high precedence points”, comparable to “a problem the place encounters wouldn’t finish and enemy spawning was turned off for the remainder of the mission”, and charger corpses launching divers into the air.
It is also ensured the service technician “can now be interacted with once more”, with Arrowhead writing that this was completed by staging a “dignified funeral” for her deceased goldfish, Goldie. Principally, it has been “laid to relaxation gracefully in a waste capsule, ejected in the direction of the closest planet’s environment the place the friction between the air and the capsule precipitated it to warmth up, violently explode, and disintegrate”. S**t, if I might recognized I might have despatched some flowers alongside.
Among the many different adjustments I will spotlight are a few fixes to points with weapons just like the Airburst Rocket Launcher and enemies together with the impaler and shrieker. Nuke Nurseries missions additionally sound like they need to be lots much less buggy. Lastly, Arrowhead has “fastened a problem inflicting extreme ragdolling when diving or crawling on uneven terrain” on this patch, however writes that it is nonetheless “at the moment engaged on additional options to deal with the ragdolling points”.
So, there you go, be certain that to get youself up to the mark earlier than you dive again into attempt to full three MO targets without delay.
