Helldivers 2 Update Fixes Weapon Issues, Patch Notes Revealed
Check out the patch notes for June 25th's Helldivers 2 update.
Helldivers 2 players got another update to download this week on June 25th, an update that took aim only at weapon problems, crashes, and other issues that have been affecting the game ever since a bigger update went live not long ago. As such, this update was a pretty light one with really only a few issues addressed, but a list of known issues was shared as well to show Helldivers 2 players what's going to be tackled in another update in the future.
The "Known Issues" section is actually bigger than the real patch notes in this case, so we've included all of those details below to show what's been fixed in this June 25th update and what's coming up in future ones. Helldivers 2 players should keep in mind that Arrowhead Game Studios has said in the past that it may start releasing Helldivers 2 updates further apart from one another, so we may begin seeing smaller hotfixes like this one more frequently while we wait on the larger content updates like the one we got most recently.
