Helldivers 2 Update 1.000.103: Patch Notes Detailed Overview
- In the latest patch for Helldivers 2, version 1.000.103, several key updates and fixes have been implemented to enhance the gameplay experience. Here is a detailed breakdown of the changes made in this update:
Fixes to EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit
- One of the major fixes in this patch includes addressing issues with the EXO-45 Patriot exosuit. Players reported instances where the exosuit would destroy itself when firing a missile while turning. With this update, the exosuit will no longer destroy itself under this circumstance. Additionally, the exosuit now retains its melee functionality even when damaged, providing a smoother gameplay experience for players relying on this powerful armor.
Balance Improvements for Planetary Hazards and Patrol Spawns
- To improve the overall balance of the game, adjustments have been made to planetary hazards and patrol spawns. Spawn rates for various hazards such as tremors, meteor showers, volcanic activity, fire tornados, and ion storms have been balanced and adjusted to occur less frequently during missions. Specific changes have been made to individual hazards like Meteor Shower and Volcanic Activity to reduce explosion radii, meteor damage, rock velocity, and other parameters. Lighting adjustments on Fenrir III have also been implemented to improve visibility during meteor showers.
Crash Fixes and Stability Improvements
- Several crash fixes have been introduced in this patch to address a range of scenarios that were causing the game to crash. Issues related to ALT+Tabbing in fullscreen mode, changing voice over language, PS5 boot problems, using a stim inside an Exosuit while wielding a grenade, joining ongoing missions, and idling on the title screen have been resolved to improve the overall stability of the game.
Quality of Life Improvements
- To enhance the gameplay experience and provide players with more accurate statistics, shots from arc-based weapons like the ‘Blitzer’ shotgun and ‘AC-8 Arc Thrower’ stratagem will now count towards “Shots fired” and “Shots hit” stats. Additionally, network desync issues with downed Automaton dropships and Elgato Stream Deck Foot Pedal support have been fixed to ensure smoother gameplay for all players.
Known Issues
- While this update brings numerous improvements, there are still a few known issues that are being worked on by the development team. These include problems with friend invites and cross-play functionality, issues with Hellpod steering near objects, online features not working when the console language is set to Ukrainian, and various other minor bugs affecting gameplay.
Overall, the Helldivers 2 Update 1.000.103 delivers a range of fixes, balance adjustments, and quality of life improvements to enhance the gameplay experience for all players. Stay tuned for future updates and patches as the team continues to refine and optimize the game.
