Arrowhead has a lot of plans for Helldivers 2 in 2025. A lot of it is being worked on in secret behind-the-scenes, but fans can rest assure there is more in the pipeline for the game and series than just a movie for the big screen. A patch has just been released for the game, and, although it has no significant balance changes or additions, the new Helldivers 2 update does fix an issue that was driving players nuts.
New Helldivers 2 update delivers fixes
Below are the new Helldivers 2 update 01.002.005 patch notes as shared on the game’s official Discord:
Crash Fixes and Soft-locks:
- Fixed a crash caused by Illuminate ships despawning
- Fixed some potential crashes when the player quits the game
Miscellaneous fixes:
- Fixed an issue with jitter when aiming through scopes
- Fix applied to reduce random disconnections in Illuminate missions
- Fixed an issue with the STA-X3 W.A.S.P Launcher’s targeting not properly working when using one owned by another player
It’s only a minor patch as there’s no buffs, nerfs, or new content, but fixes are always necessary, and fans are particularly ecstatic that Arrowhead fixed the jittering when aiming through scopes. Reacting to the above patch notes on Reddit, there are a lot of elated comments such as, “The jitter was driving me nuts, so glad it’s fixed”.
When aiming through scopes, it should now be smooth when moving left, right, up, down, rather than before where there was a jitter. Fans are also relieved that Arrowhead has fixed issues with crashing and disconnections caused by the Illuminate, and players are happy about the W.A.S.P fix, too.
Unfortunately, not everything can be fixed in one patch, so there will be issues still unresolved in HD2. Hopefully any other problems will be fixed in the near future as Arrowhead continue to support and improve the game throughout 2025.
