Helldivers 2 was the quickest 100 hours I’ve ever gotten in a game and I still keep playing daily if that doesn’t show how good of a live service game it is I don’t know what will

[Hesirontuff]

I hope they don’t lose too many players over it this weekend. A 35 minute mission that dies losing all the samples and not getting any xp or medals feels bad. Like rage quit bad. Having it happen multiple times I could see people putting the game down and not picking it back up

[moroblizniak]

About electric weapons.
I would love them too send official message to all helldivers that these weapons are bugged. So everybody knows.

[eriksemko]

They could do a dispatch in-game that says something like: It has come to light, that the automatons infiltrated our factories for the production of arc weapons. All arc weapons, including the tower, may explode upon usage because of the sabotage. We advise all of our Helldivers to not requisition any arc based weaponry in the meantime.

0:30 bruh that gameplay is peak brain dead

My pc barely runs helldivers smoothly and crashes seconds after I join other players, but I can still do solo missions well enough. Though I don’t wanna dive alone I’m still out there spreading freedom the best I can. One day I’ll finally upgrade it and join my fellow Helldivers.

[deadmanwalking]

Can you please talk about the changes to the mech. It’s rocket pods are a lot less accurate now at close to medium range. It’s much harder to accurately hit heavy units. The rockets no longer fire at where you’re aiming. Instead veering off to the left of your reticle or flying above your targets. Long distance seems to be okay but the mech we have now is meant for close to medium range combat and now the rockets feel nerfed

[troystreet]

Makes my pc freeze to the point I have to power off forcibly and on 😢

[Admiralofthedeeps]

Guys, we've a chance to show what a strong community this is. I found this infor out yesterday, and i played multiple missions last night and met about 30 other players. Just let everyone know and pass on that the arc weapons are not to be used, and we can spread this around really fast.

If Helldivers were made by EA: "calling on the supplies stratagem now costs $$$"

[caledoniacrusader]

The haptic feedback on the ps5 adds a completely different dimension to the game.

[IVIUTD]

they should go back to not counting arc shot rounds on the mission counter if that is what is causing crashes. I never cared that the stats didnt show arc shot rounds.

[tomspooner]

I'm fairly certain the issues were already fixed. I used the arc thrower for several bug missions last night and ended each round with 110-130% accuracy. No freezes, no crashes, not even any slowdowns for any of my friends

[dmar]

Okay, Sty,
I asked this in the last video, but Please try to keep the patch notes or tweets etc. On screen, when you're reading it.
Making them fade out makes it really difficult to follow along with you.
Thank you.

[DeathlordSlavik]

I found out from testing by myself yesterday if you don't rapid fire the arc weapons and don't have other team mates nearby killing the things you are shooting at the issue doesn't happen. This means it probably isn't the accuracy percentage and likely the arcs trying to hit things that die just at the moment before the arc hits them. This is probably why the freeze happens more often while fighting bugs due to how many bugs have the bleed out mechanic like the Warrior which dies a few seconds after losing it's head.
Also I find it unlikely its the accuracy percentage as several of the games I tested in yesterday I got percentages over 200% and didn't suffer crashes as the crashes never happened once I stopped rapid firing with arc weapons and ether played on my own or stayed away from team mates.

[grambo]

They should make a note about a manufacturing defect or sabotage affecting arc based weapons. Bring attention to the issue.

[eyebite]

I have been in games with no arc weapons and it still crashes.

[Krimson]

They should add weapon/strategem disabling to the gamemaster tool set.

You could easily make it thematic

[Reohz]

Can confirm, my friends and I crashed like crazy after the patch. But then yesterday we avoided those weapons and the crashes were gone.

[sweptinblack]

I was crashing like crazy with friend yesterday, I was using arc thrower. He was also crashing, from ME using it. Later on I ditched it and used something else, didn’t have a crash all night. It is definitely the problem, and for us at least, solved the issue.
