Helldivers 2 Update 1.000.104 Patch Notes: Fix for Arc Weapons

helldivers-2-gameplay-1

Arrowhead has published a very small Helldivers 2 update for PC and PS5, though its effects are important. Patch 1.000.0014 fixed an issue that caused the entire game to freeze when weapons and stratagems firing in arcs were used.

This problem affected the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower, making them very difficult to work with on the frontlines. With this bug fixed, players are free to deploy these armaments on the battlefield once more without any danger – well, without any danger of freezing Helldivers 2. All the other dangers – being eviscerated, crushed, dissolved in acid, and so forth – remain.

While that’s one glaring issue out of the way, players are clamoring for a general bug fixing patch to be published sooner rather than later. Though Arrowhead has done a fantastic job with its new hit game, smaller technical issues and glitches seem to be mounting and are threatening to get to a point where players’ patience may run out.

Hopes are high that such an update will be deployed soon, since Arrowhead has been following a pretty solid cadence of patches.
