Helldivers 2 Update Buffs Armors & Fixes Bugs

Helldivers 2 has received a new update that aims to resolve many of the bugs affecting the game since the previous update. The Heart of Democracy update was one of the game’s biggest updates yet so it is no surprise new bugs have been discovered. While this is a relatively small update, the fixes it brings will make the Helldivers 2 experience better. Players can expect issues in various areas to be addressed. The update is live now, meaning players can download it and quickly get back into the action to save Super Earth. Fans can rest assured that the recently discovered emote bug has not been patched with this update.

A major change to several armor passives has also been implemented in this update. Players can enjoy increased reload speed and melee damage while using the Masters of Ceremony armor thanks to two new perks. Arrowhead Studio intends to monitor how this affects the game and make changes accordingly.

The update today addressed bugs in various areas within Helldivers 2, including crashes and soft-locks. These prevented players from being able to interact with different parts of the game. Bug fixes have also addressed problems with enemies, including Leviathans, and both weapons and strategems. Other general fixes have been implemented to improve stability, friendly and enemy pathing, and more.

Here is everything in the Helldivers 2 update today.
