Helldivers 2 Update Fixes Meteor Shower Spawn Rates and More
Helldivers 2 has released Patch 1.000.103 for the game, rebalancing the spawn rates of meteor showers, among a bunch of other fixes. Arrowhead Game Studios has an enormous hit on its hands with Helldivers 2, and the release of new patches helps to keep the momentum going.
