Hell(o), bellowing caped stooges of Super Earth! It's time for another Helldivers 2 patch. This one makes some heroic adjustments to the shooter's generally inoffensive microtransaction system, targetting a technical issue whereby Super Credits and Premium Warbonds would not show up after purchase. Huzzah! Developers Arrowhead have also nuked a rather barmy Helldivers 2 glitch that allowed for unlimited stratagem use with no cooldowns following an AFK kick.
The AFK glitch - if you missed it, the option to boot players who are AFK was introduced last week - has also been encumbering confused Helldivers with giant purple question marks, and has accordingly become known as the "Riddler glitch". On the plus side, it allows you to summon a dozen mortar turrets at once, or stack orbital lasers on top of each other as though trying to "cross the streams" in Ghostbusters, with comparably devastating results. Here's a video from the stalwart fasc-onauts of Joosh & Co to show you the Riddler glitch in action.
The new Helldivers 2 patch also improves support for AZERTY keyboards by allowing HUD shortcuts to be rebound, which will be a shot in the arm for our gallant Helldiving comrades in (*looks up AZERTY on Wikipedia*) France and Belgium. Here are the full patch notes from Steam for your fervent enjoyment - be sure to salute while reading.
