Helldivers 2 Patch 1.000.103 Nerfs Planet Hazards, Patrols Spawning on Players, and More
Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has released another patch for the PC and PlayStation 5 co-op shooter, this time nerfing the recently added planet hazards.
Patch 1.000.103 adjusts the spawn rates for the various planet hazards in the game, including tremors, meteor showers, volcanic activity, fire tornados, and ion storms. The upshot is hazards should now spawn less frequently during missions.
Elsewhere, Arrowhead said the patch reduces incidents of patrols spawning on players, which should make the game a tad easier.
The new patch does not, however, address Helldivers 2’s troublesome friend request issue. In a post on the Helldivers Discord, community manager Twinbeard said this is “one of our top issues at the moment.” However, there is no meaningful update on a fix. “We truly get that this is both sad and extremely frustrating for those of you who are affected,” Twinbeard added. “We ask for patience. No bad joke or military lingo this time, just this.”
