Helldivers 2’s First Patch Since PSN Fiasco Makes Much-Needed DOT and Scope Fixes
Helldivers 2’s first patch since the PSN login debacle is out now, making some much-needed fixes to the game.
Highlights here include a fix for Helldivers 2’s troublesome damage over time (DOT) problem, a fix for misaligned scopes, and a fix for the R-9 Eruptor to combat a shrapnel problem that was killing players.
Patch 1.000.302, out now across PC and PlayStation 5, is the first to launch following Sony’s dramatic U-turn on the Helldivers 2 PSN login requirement that had sparked a backlash within the game’s PC community. Developer Arrowhead will be keen to put the events of last week behind it now Sony has buckled to PC gamer demand, although CEO Johan Pilestedt has admitted the studio has work to do rebuilding player trust.
To that end, the Helldivers 2 patches are still coming thick and fast, with this latest following the big balance update last week. Helldivers 2’s next Premium Warbond, Polar Patriots, launches May 9.
