Yes I said "Auto-Maton" instead of "Automaton" at 4:46, I noticed it when it was too late to fix. Let us know what you think of the new update and the Factory Striders down in the comments!

Anyone else see bug corpses on the ground while fighting

[khajio]

Joel did up the difficulty, not sure about the Bots reinforcement rates, but on Helldive my squad fought 5 Facility Striders and 2 of them were at the same time. A drop ship brought a second one in, scary! GL fellow Helldivers!

[cannibalraptor]

On PS5, the previous update that fixed the extraction crashes, I’ve had no crashes since. I’ve had bugs but nothing game breaking, so I have the patience that they will fix these bugs

[mlwg]

They did a poll. Most wanted new biomes and missions, second pick was bugfixing...yes people really do want the bugs fixed, more than want new weapons.

[Sergiblacklist]

They can't just stop adding content to the game. The community would whine about nothing new which some people already do.

I think if they took a break from the warbond to do a month of bug fixes AND a sizeable balance update that would keep players enagaged. Not sure when attachments will be implemented but i think that would solve alot of balance issues for the guns if done properly. Letting the player choose between drum mags, stocks, ammo types ect would be huge.

[OPthNakama]

The bugs aren't so bad that they prevent me from playing but basically once the bugs do get fixed my loadouts will get a huge upgrade. DoT damage fixes, ship module fixes, and scope realignment.

I'm just glad the game isn't soo absurdly hard that the broken stuff isn't a make or break it scenario

[randomspectator]

Give us fire retardant armor passive already! You see how many planets lately have been on fire with their Helldiver seeking fire tornadoes?

[jackjohn]

Must be tough for the devs it’s a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation

[TheDedmustdie]

Good thing about this game is that even if you crash, you can still join back to the same game. When playing with friends bugs are just minor inconvenience.

[greatbrandini]

Can confirm that Factory Striders were spawning on difficulty 7 as well. They were pretty rare though, I think they'd maybe spawn once in every six or so large scale missions

[CrimsonCryson]

At difficulty 8 I saw THREE factory striders drop in along with the other bots.

I need a bigger gun

[lucabarnardo]

I don’t of anyone else has seen this yet, but Dropships can now drop Factory Striders as well. While me and the homies were playing at helldive yesterday we encountered FIVE striders in one mission -two of them were dropped off.

[CosMosR]

A couple days ago my boys and I played and we got a mode were we had to protect some generators, there were gates we could close and the horde of enemies wouldn’t stop.
That type of mission was amazing, but never got it again.

[harleyx]

Still dont get why they are pushing for one war bond per month. The list of known issues is constantly growing. Take a month or two off. The player base is not going anywhere. Also Palworld is NOT a valid comparison. That is a game in early-access. Helldivers is live right now.

[PrdigyZRX]

Most every random group I drop with we end up wiping everything off the map before we leave... maybe I'm just getting lucky with the randoms I get

[Solarcrafting]

So quick note, only the optional objectives count to the personal order, the outposts do not count to this sadly. Anyhow Dive on Hell Divers.

[yukgaejang]

Having a full month dedicated to fixing bugs (no pun intended) is a game changer. Less crashes, smooth gameplay, and everything works as it should be. After all, who would want to play a broken game.

Skipping a month of content will definitely decrease the amount of concurrent players but that's fine. Culling hyped mainstream players, and having a non-toxic experience, with a dedicated fanbase sounds good to me.

[BoneheadPlays]

Never saw a factory strider before this update, then i saw 2 in the same game lol, one even came off of a dropship
