If a ‘Minor Patch’ is major, the roadmap must be mega. <\/p>

Helldivers 2 continues to gather hype apace, and with so many players<\/a> pushing and prodding, developer Arrowhead Game Studios has seen what needed changing and released an update \u2013 of which we have the full patch notes for!<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there is no mention of mechs<\/a> or other vehicles<\/a> in this update, but the former has just had an exciting announcement made about them, so perhaps it won\u2019t be too long until we see them on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

Players will need some extra protection, too, as planets have just become far more lethal \u2013 more lethal, perhaps, than the errant aim of your squad.<\/p>\n

Still, if this is what we can expect from a small patch, we can\u2019t wait to see what the devs have in store when they release their revised roadmap<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But \u2019til then, let\u2019s see what they\u2019ve been cooking up for us in the here and now. Read on, intrepid Helldiver<\/a>!<\/p>\n

What changed in the Helldivers 2 update?<\/b><\/h2>\n

While dubbed a \u2018Minor Patch\u2019, there are actually some big meta-altering updates that see a lot of the weapons having been rebalanced, as well as environmental dangers being introduced to planets<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Breaker has had its magazine capacity reduced, and the Railgun penetrates armour less in Safe Mode.<\/p>\n

Conversely, the flamethrower now dishes out an additional 50 per cent damage per second, the Laser Cannon does more damage overall, and the Punisher has had its capacity and stagger force buffed.<\/p>\n

Though the Breaker has fewer shots, those shots are more potent and fire faster.<\/p>\n

In terms of stratagems, the Energy Shield backpack takes longer to start recharging, and the 3800 and 120mm Oribital Barrages last for longer, but with a decreased spread.<\/p>\n

If your teammates\u2019 buffed weapons weren\u2019t dangerous enough for you, planets can now experience fire tornadoes, meteor showers and more to keep you on your toes.<\/p>\n

Eradicate Missions also take twice as long to complete and require more kills \u2013 meaning more enemies.<\/p>\n

There are a bunch of other minor fixes, as well as the inclusion of known issues, and these can be read just below!<\/p>\n
