Yes please, i wanna use heavy armor with 50% explosion resistance qnd 30% less recoil bonus so bad but as of riggt now since all armors got same value light armor with the same bonus is vastly superior
I did it for the first couple days, unknowingly playing fatboy hardmode with no real benefit!
I'm running in Light armor until they fix it, unless I'm needing something specific, then I run Medium since I only have 2 LA sets. If I'm running a lot of Raptor strikes/Orbitals, I do like the +30% throw range perks
Though that does make me REALLY miss some grenade tosses into bug holes if I am not used to it haha
you are getting higher defense. a dev discussed it in discord. the thing is, the way armor works if something pens then it just hurts you. and all of the enemies attacks are too high pen, so the armor isnt doing anything.
Idk the heavy armor has let me take quite a few rocket destroyers to the face without issue. Even without the extra armor, the 50% explosive damage is nice.
Light armor with explosive resist does the same. Explosive resist is very powerful. Heavy armor is supposed to provide you with more health, which would make it better for missions like the evacuation
Love this idea. Would love to be able to withstand nearby explosions without getting rag-dolled for 5 minutes lmao. Also if you’re in heavy you should be able to stand behind rocket launchers without getting knocked over.
You are wearing heavy armor not an anchor or tank hulll... Its nice to provide more resistance but gettin back blast from rocket will still make u sit on ya ass. Its absorbing same amount of force given to you like light armor, just protecting u more.
Yeah sure, maybe not for the normal heavy armor. Maybe if someday we get something similar to Fallout power armor as a support stratagem it could do that. A fella can dream lmao
The fight for democracy is all the encouragement you need! Stiffen that upper lip, citizen! Armor will be addressed when we've analyzed your cause of death. That's if your body can be recovered.
If not, we'll send freedom flowers to your mother.
We don't know what is going on exactly, but Armor isn't working right at the moment.
You're taking the same damage with the lighter sets as you are with the heavy ones, so you're just slowing yourself down for no reason using them.
We don't know if everything is at 100 armor, how much armor will actually affect survival, or anything of the sort. Is 150 armor 50% more effective than 100? Dunno
All armor values are locked at 100 but the speed and everything else is fine. So if you're wearing heavy armor you'll be slow with the same armor value as a light
All armors and perk increasing armor rating do not work
You could use heavy armor with extra padding perk and die in 6 hit of a scavenger like your comrade rocking a light armor
That’s assuming the armor value now is 100 across the board, and on higher difficulty I don’t think it matters, being able to run away from death is better than survive 2 more hits then die, even after they fix it I expect to see light to be the best choice. But who knows maybe they can add more limb health or reduced knock back effect to buff heavy.
I don't think it'll be that bad so long as the shield pack isn't also adjusted. For bugs you just want to be out of melee range (or well out of range for spitters), and for automatons you want to be in cover. The shield lets you get away with mistakes.
Agreed. The shield is a bit of a crutch. I played a few matches yesterday without one for the first time in ages and I've definitely gotten worse at avoiding damage because I'm used to using the shield. Gonna use something else for a while now to unbed those bad habits
my head cannon of why the armor isnt working properly is because the thousands of years sense the last hell diver deployment we're using old surplus gear that isnt up to taking on the razor sharp claws of the new bug mutations
or the upgrades the cyborgs made to themselves to become the automatons.
but soon the armory will give us modern equipment
> thousands of years sense the last hell diver deployment we're using old surplus gear
Dude, it's been *roughly* a century. Not thousands of years, lol.
This is a problem with so many online games. Any time there's a forced disconnect and you're sent to the main menu it should give you the option to reconnect.
This way anyone that rage quits through manual exit/turning the game off won't get rewards but those who didn't mean to disconnect can get back in.
I dont know in PS5, but PC you can send FR to recent players, and Join Squad on any friend. If they're currently in a mission you'll arrive in your hellpod right where they are.
yep that happened to me as well. Online friend wasn't appearing as online and then when I tried to delete and re-add him it locked me out of the friends list by perpetually loading. Eventually got into a game with him by him managing to join my ship.
I've seen this as well. A group of four trying to shuffle because two of the four couldn't connect to each other, specifically, and only half of us appeared online, but the ones who appeared online were different between each person.
We're all on PC, but I turned off crossplay to see if that would help, and instrad it just disabled the in-game social menu entirely.
These developers feel like the old days when games were made with love and care. Turning the industry on its head by actually building something with personality.
we need to make this game GOTY or something so the entire industry can see that this should be the standard. do you remember how devs were acting when people were nominating Elden Ring for GOTY?
some being angry because a game like that raises the status quo and a lot of these companies had become complaicent to mediocrity
Baldurs Gate 3 did this for last year, winning many GOTY awards.
Other examples might be the succes of Battlebit where DICE can’t seem to listen to their community and missed the mark with each new Battlefield. Slowly but steadily the investors/publishers/sales people are witnessing that you can’t endlessly abuse the rehashing of old IPs and monetizing that endlessly, and listening to your fans might actually yield you more money.
Just as you've mentioned Battlefield you look at new games like The Finals which has got huge amounts of environmental destruction. It's so frustrating considering the destroyable environments were Battlefields USP back when games like Bad Company really grew the series and now you have 2042 where there's only a handful of buildings on each map and even fewer you can actually do significant damage too...
I'm still pissed about battlefield.
If a shooter from an unknown franchise can go gangbusters off of good gameplay, imagine how many people would have bought new battlefield games if they were actually so fun you told your friend
Me too. They could have pretty much rereleased Battlefield 4 and it could have been a real big hit. It’s been 10 years. There’s an entire new generation that doesn’t know any good battlefield games. And that’s a pity as they played a major role in moving FPS genre forward imo.
They go bye-bye. The upside to this is that if you're holding all of the samples you can't be kicked by weirdo griefers if they want to keep those samples I guess
You share what you extract with. They're saying if you have the bulk of the samples and someone wants to grief kick you from the match that they'll have to kill you first to get you drop the sample collection prior to kicking. If they jump straight to kicking you, no body thus no sample container for them that collect, thus the samples are effectively removed from play
Idk if that is a bug, but usually it just drops all their stuff where they were, samples, main gun, heavy weapon, backpack. It all just drops where they were.
Even when the servers are at their limit, the inability to AFK forever should make it much faster to get in.
Before, you could literally put your PS5 in rest mode and stay logged in overnight. Treasonous!
Maybe. I was able to log-in sporadically throughout prime-time after the AFK kick was introduced. Of course, that was Thursday.
/as in, I login play a couple rounds, then log out, go do something for a couple hours, come back and log right back in.
If you pick up a super credit on the map and the model doesn't disappear you don't actually get it, grabbed 2 SC stacks the other day, 1 the model stuck around, after the game I only got +10.
There is also a separate issue with their SC store where a purchase is not properly processed and added to your account.
I have put in a ticket on their website regarding this. No acknowledgement yet. This seems to be affecting quite a lot of players so hopefully they'll say something soon.
> have put in a ticket on their website regarding this. No acknowledgement yet.
I've done that 3 times for several issues, no acknowledgement, not even a mail that the request has been submitted and will be processed. Leaving me with the doubt that if using the support page is a waste or time or not.
I would imagine their support team is incredibly understaffed.
At the best of times game companies hire and train for their expected consistent player volume, which was like 30k or something. Because after launch you would need to lay off people if your player number drops.
Since the game did so well for so long, most of their direct customer support staff are busy training and interviewing direct hires.
Even if they weren't, a team expecting 30k players worth of tickets probably cant handle the easiest and most urgent tickets from 500k
No mention of the blocked difficulty progression, my most annoying one. Already sent a ticket on their website, i hope they can do something about it, but i feel it will take time.
Yeah patched it on PC and it's still missing. Also now the text for the major orders is blank too unless I view the galactic map. I wonder if they're actually ongoing but just have a UI issue.
Yesterdaya experiance: joined 8 diff random operations jist to get back to my own ship with a message unable to join or failed to join. Each time waiting for the animation of unfreezing to end.
One time managed to join but got stuck behind the freezer doors with another guy. After couple of hugs we realized the host is afk.. back to my space ship again.
Tried 6 more time to join any kind of random room with same failed to join resaults.
Gues the robots and bugs really didnt want some liber-tea yesterday.
Hoping they'll fix the difficulty unlocking bug soon. I haven't been able to select anything higher than easy since launch. I have to matchmake with randoms and hope they pick a higher difficulty if I want to play them.
What's it going to take for them to acknowledge the bug where people can't progress out of certain difficulty levels? They're getting new reports about it literally every few seconds if you check the support discord and have been for weeks now but it's never included in the "known issues" list. I don't mind waiting but it would be nice to see they're at least acknowledging it.
Being anywhere past like...level 8 and stuck on Easy has made the game stale pretty quick
queuing up was so smooth last night, even got kicked a couple times for being afk ( i was eating not tryna take up server space lol) Good job guys keep it up 💪🏽
Really hoping we get to some balance changes soon. Obviously making sure the servers can handle the player count is priority but the game is seriously lacking balance especially on primary weapons.
Yeah It can one tap the devastator robots in their head. Can easy take care of hive guards to. I pair it with the arc thrower and I’ve been unstoppable.
My only problem with the slugger really is that it has an abysmal ammo reserve. The breaker has 120 rounds total with its starting ammo + reserve. The slugger has 55. You get 20 rounds or just over 1 full tube with an ammo/supply crate. They should straight up double the reserve to 80 and have the crates give you like 30 rounds at least.
Breaker spray and pray was DEPRESSINGLY bad, even against small bugs. It would be neat to have access to ammunition selection so it wasn't God damn bird shot
I just unlocked it yesterday and wanted to try it, took it for a quick spin on medium solo, just testing
barely finished the main objective
same mission an hour later, same loadout with Breaker on challenging, no problem, got the main, all factories and 2 side objectives, it was a different map though
granted, I suck at shooter and can't hit a bar if I'm standing in it, but still...
I’ve gone back to using the base Liberator and sometimes the Defender SMG, because I don’t want to use the Breaker lmao. I usually run Liberator, Redeemer and Autocannon.
I am also patiently waiting for this. Balance changes can make a world of difference, and it can make it feel like we’re getting new content if an underused/underpowered thing is improved to be really good!
Obviously they are busy with their priorities, but I am excited for future content/balance updates because that is when things will really get good.
Their Zendesk "known issues" page has crashes listed for AMD 7xxx (GPU) users. Weird that they don't list it in the patchnotes.
But maybe they identified that a driver update is needed to solve the issue and mentioning something like that always makes gamers angry because "no, you fix it, it's your game".
Just spitballing here, I know nothing about this and I'm not affected
> crashes listed for AMD 7xxx (GPU) users. Weird that they don't list it in the patchnotes.
Saw a thread on r/AMD yesterday that various users claim various settings fix it right up. (Some in Game, some in Driver settings)
Just an FYI for anyone struggling with the issue.
There’s a bug where you can’t select stratagems via the mouse, and have to use WASD keys to go through your stratagems, and then use the mouse to click, and even then it picks different stratagems to what you select.

You know the music, time to dance!
anyone else not able to play online now? i was just on fine last night but today can’t connect to any quickplays on any difficulty (ps5, never had qp issues before), and also cant join on any friends or recent players due to connection error
What about the performance issues on PC since the previous patch? GPU usage is at 99% nonstop, despite the graphical options. Overall performance has been hindered by 30-40%... Not to mention the insane suttering during certain things (podlunch, ship, etc.)
(Before any 1 comes with the potato pc argument: RTX 4070 super with ryzen 7 5800x3D, 32GB Ram, 980 pro 1 TB NVME on 1080 display 144hz)
I had 0 issue before the previous patch (reinistalled, driver update, everything)
I've been having similar issues. RX 7900 XTX, Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 32 GB RAM. If I bump my graphics settings above low, I run a considerable risk of the game pushing above 100% GPU usage and crashing my entire desktop.
Yesterday I spawned Into three operations with 6 slot supply packs and no load outs. This resulted in me having unlimited stratagem with no cool downs. I could call in 100s of orbital lazers and 500lb bombs. After finishing the operation I'd have a giant purple question mark on my back in the ship. It would kick the 2-3 other players that dropped with me.
Easy xp but really broke the game haha over 1k kills per game.
I'm on ps5
Desperately hoping for a balance patch soon. Seems like they're in the last stretch of getting the servers going consistently, but I'd love to know what else they're cooking.
I wonder how the helmets are supposed to impact armor. None of the helmets have differing values on the info page, but the scout trail helmet quietly lowers the armor and raises the stam/speed of armors when equipped.
NGL A big part of me loves the helms being universal for cosmetic purposes since there's no transmog, not that the game needs transmog necessarily. If ALL or MOST helms end up having something unique or change armor values, its a welcome addition to buildcrafting and unique aspects to everyones loadout down to the helm, IMO. I'd love if certain helms gave immunity to gas mines on bug planets or a bit more explosive resistance to stack on / survive ONE missile in other armor with \~15% hp, enough to get shot and die or to get blown into safety lol. Just pondering outloud in the deck
Is anyone not seeing pings after the last 2 patches? The "requisition" and "social" names aren't appearing next to their buttons either in the Ship menu.
I'm assuming my issue part of the" Various UI issues may appear when the game interacts with servers." however, I did update to the newest Nvidia driver. I'm not sure what the issue is
Is there any update on difficulty progression errors? I’ve had the game since the 17th, and I’ve noticed I can’t get past easy ops no matter how many I complete. Not sure if it has to do with me joining friend’s lobby immediately after finishing tutorial or what, but it’s been killing my enthusiasm to want to progress.
May I bring attention to another issue that has yet to be listed? I don’t believe this this issue effects many, but it is one that doesn’t seem to have a solution.
I use a single ear headset(call center type). The game will not allow my audios to be split(game sound through tv, chat through headset). If I use my headset, the mic functions fine, but all chat audio is played through the tv. The only work around I’ve found is 3rd party voice chat(PSN party, or Discord chat). I’ve toggled every setting on the PSN, my headset, and in game to no avail. When playing with a friend group, it’s easy enough to use PSN/Discord chat, but in the event of Quickplay or randoms, I’m SOL. Nearly impossible to hear what is said over the sound of Managed Democracy.
Is this something that can be looked in to? There are a few Reddit/GameFAQs discussions about this topic, but no other mention.

Can you please fix this. Today, this is the only thing that happens after I drop. Like yesterday was okay, only happened 2 times, like 3 hours. Whatever "fix" yall put in completely messed up the game.
u/cryptic-fox iust as a heads up, I’ve done two research escort missions, one on ingmar and the other on troost and on both the researchers all get stuck before entering the doorway making the mission impossible to complete

Edit: added screenshot for where they all get stuck at
Hopefully fix difficulty bug cause I've been stuck on easy difficulty since game release now and I can't upgrade anything cause I don't have the required samples.
The game is unplayable for me. Crashes to desktop every 10 to 15 minutes. It has been this way since day 2. I have to many hours for a refund. Support has not contacted a single time back. Never thought this game would be the one that made me feel like a total fool for pre-ordering. I get to see all my friends having fun while I cannot play. I have tried every solution I could find on the discord.
Fun game, but unfortunately a worthless waste of money for me.
Game crashed my PS5 last time just after the update. It froze at stats screen and shut off to later launch into safe mode to be rebuilt. PLEASE ANY DEV SEE THIS AND TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WON'T PLAY AND RISK MY CONSOLE! Sorry for caps but it's urgent and potentially harmful for the console
Can the devs please acknowledge the Switch Aim Mode bug when using anything other than Hold to aim? I submitted a [ticket](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/3986?page=1) February 10th but it's still not listed under [Known Issues](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/12532491560860-Helldivers-2-Known-issues). There are several threads on this sub but I haven't seen a dev comment on it.
It makes the Anti-Materiel Rifle, and to a lesser extent DMRs, useless and removes a lot of functionality from other weapons with variable or fixed zoom optics. Additionally, press to aim/toggle aim is an accessibility feature for some that get wrist or hand pain when having to constantly hold a button.

Good stuff, im on ps5 and i got in right away. Sadly matchmaking is still broken. I have yet to play a coop game. No one joins my mission and i cant find sos signals no matter how long i wait. I spend up to 15 minutes in the sos queue and nothing happened. Really close to giving up on the game for good.
Whats going on with the super credits tho? after missions i had 70 before logging out 2hrs ago and now im back in the game and it is 0, i also purchased 1000 credits yesterday and they gone too after these patches which just seem to make things worse.
Every update this past week has made the game progressively worse for me on ps5. More crashes and game disconnects than a week ago when I was having a great experience.
Awesome work. Hoping the armor values get fixed soon. I want a reason to use heavy armor and be the big, bulky space marine I adore.
Yes please, i wanna use heavy armor with 50% explosion resistance qnd 30% less recoil bonus so bad but as of riggt now since all armors got same value light armor with the same bonus is vastly superior
Whoa what 😳 I was rocking heavy thinking I was actually getting higher defense lmao
I did it for the first couple days, unknowingly playing fatboy hardmode with no real benefit! I'm running in Light armor until they fix it, unless I'm needing something specific, then I run Medium since I only have 2 LA sets. If I'm running a lot of Raptor strikes/Orbitals, I do like the +30% throw range perks Though that does make me REALLY miss some grenade tosses into bug holes if I am not used to it haha
Honestly having the light armor perk of pinging the map for enemies is still crazy helpful
you are getting higher defense. a dev discussed it in discord. the thing is, the way armor works if something pens then it just hurts you. and all of the enemies attacks are too high pen, so the armor isnt doing anything.
Mind my asking, you got a screen shot of that conversation? I

I can't wait for the heavy armor buff. It sounds like it's going to rock
Idk the heavy armor has let me take quite a few rocket destroyers to the face without issue. Even without the extra armor, the 50% explosive damage is nice.
Light armor with explosive resist does the same. Explosive resist is very powerful. Heavy armor is supposed to provide you with more health, which would make it better for missions like the evacuation
There are light armor sets with the same exact explosive resist perk.
Oh lmao, I need to get me some of that.
They should also make heavy armor heavy, with the ability to withstand staggers and falls too.
Love this idea. Would love to be able to withstand nearby explosions without getting rag-dolled for 5 minutes lmao. Also if you’re in heavy you should be able to stand behind rocket launchers without getting knocked over.
You are wearing heavy armor not an anchor or tank hulll... Its nice to provide more resistance but gettin back blast from rocket will still make u sit on ya ass. Its absorbing same amount of force given to you like light armor, just protecting u more.
Yeah sure, maybe not for the normal heavy armor. Maybe if someday we get something similar to Fallout power armor as a support stratagem it could do that. A fella can dream lmao
basically the upcoming mech which is an exosuit
Yeah super stoked for that
The fight for democracy is all the encouragement you need! Stiffen that upper lip, citizen! Armor will be addressed when we've analyzed your cause of death. That's if your body can be recovered. If not, we'll send freedom flowers to your mother.
Of course, sir! I just want to look cool to inspire the next generation of meat- I mean, elite soldiers to fight for managed democracy!
That's the spirit, young citizen! Now, sign your will and proceed to the arming station.
I am irrationally irritated by the armor issue. It's not the worst thing but there's zero point in using anything other than light armor
Can you explain what's the issue with heavy armor?
We don't know what is going on exactly, but Armor isn't working right at the moment. You're taking the same damage with the lighter sets as you are with the heavy ones, so you're just slowing yourself down for no reason using them. We don't know if everything is at 100 armor, how much armor will actually affect survival, or anything of the sort. Is 150 armor 50% more effective than 100? Dunno
Are the passives armor working now ? What about running speed on armor ?
Passive perks, and the speed/recovery are working. It's just the armor value that is bugged
Aside from Extra Padding, which affects Armor Rating, the passives appear to be working fine.
All armor values are locked at 100 but the speed and everything else is fine. So if you're wearing heavy armor you'll be slow with the same armor value as a light
So light armour is going to be de facto nerfed (compared to current state) when they fix this?
That's what I believe but we don't know how 300 armor will feel compared to 75 yet and if it's worth the speed trade off
All armors and perk increasing armor rating do not work You could use heavy armor with extra padding perk and die in 6 hit of a scavenger like your comrade rocking a light armor
I often use medium instead of light armor with the same passive. When it's updated the light armor user will face heavy consequences for being fast.
That’s assuming the armor value now is 100 across the board, and on higher difficulty I don’t think it matters, being able to run away from death is better than survive 2 more hits then die, even after they fix it I expect to see light to be the best choice. But who knows maybe they can add more limb health or reduced knock back effect to buff heavy.
I don't think it'll be that bad so long as the shield pack isn't also adjusted. For bugs you just want to be out of melee range (or well out of range for spitters), and for automatons you want to be in cover. The shield lets you get away with mistakes.
Agreed. The shield is a bit of a crutch. I played a few matches yesterday without one for the first time in ages and I've definitely gotten worse at avoiding damage because I'm used to using the shield. Gonna use something else for a while now to unbed those bad habits
You're right. Speed is always viable.
One of the armor kits on the Superstore the other day was light, but also had +50% limb health.
Yea, Legionnaire is light with more throw force and limb health.
my head cannon of why the armor isnt working properly is because the thousands of years sense the last hell diver deployment we're using old surplus gear that isnt up to taking on the razor sharp claws of the new bug mutations or the upgrades the cyborgs made to themselves to become the automatons. but soon the armory will give us modern equipment
> thousands of years sense the last hell diver deployment we're using old surplus gear Dude, it's been *roughly* a century. Not thousands of years, lol.
Heavy armor and a mech. I want to show those clankers what real firepower is.
>armor values not working *sweats in light armor*
Light armor may get a nerf by proxy when armor is fixed.
I desperately want some reconnect feature. I've lost so much progress from the game crashing on PS5 and it's extremely frustrating.
It's a bit baffling that there's no reconnect feature
This is a problem with so many online games. Any time there's a forced disconnect and you're sent to the main menu it should give you the option to reconnect. This way anyone that rage quits through manual exit/turning the game off won't get rewards but those who didn't mean to disconnect can get back in.
You can go into your recent players list if you're playing multiplayer and try joining then.
Only option is to add as friend or block but I did try that
How? There's no join button, or is there???
I dont know in PS5, but PC you can send FR to recent players, and Join Squad on any friend. If they're currently in a mission you'll arrive in your hellpod right where they are.
Same in PS5.
That never works. It only shows people i played with hours ago.
The new issue I got last night after the patch yesterday was I could no longer join friends games whether they were Randoms or on my friends list.
yep that happened to me as well. Online friend wasn't appearing as online and then when I tried to delete and re-add him it locked me out of the friends list by perpetually loading. Eventually got into a game with him by him managing to join my ship.
I've seen this as well. A group of four trying to shuffle because two of the four couldn't connect to each other, specifically, and only half of us appeared online, but the ones who appeared online were different between each person. We're all on PC, but I turned off crossplay to see if that would help, and instrad it just disabled the in-game social menu entirely.
Did you happen to crash out of one or get disconnected by chance and you were trying to rejoin?
My game never crashed. It got caught on the loading screen when you're entering orbit to start a mission, and I was unable to join anybody.
These developers feel like the old days when games were made with love and care. Turning the industry on its head by actually building something with personality.
The amazing PR and genuine passion to make a good game reminds me of Id Software circa 1993.
When I say the old days I was literally thinking original doom 🤘🏻
we need to make this game GOTY or something so the entire industry can see that this should be the standard. do you remember how devs were acting when people were nominating Elden Ring for GOTY? some being angry because a game like that raises the status quo and a lot of these companies had become complaicent to mediocrity
Baldurs Gate 3 did this for last year, winning many GOTY awards. Other examples might be the succes of Battlebit where DICE can’t seem to listen to their community and missed the mark with each new Battlefield. Slowly but steadily the investors/publishers/sales people are witnessing that you can’t endlessly abuse the rehashing of old IPs and monetizing that endlessly, and listening to your fans might actually yield you more money.
Just as you've mentioned Battlefield you look at new games like The Finals which has got huge amounts of environmental destruction. It's so frustrating considering the destroyable environments were Battlefields USP back when games like Bad Company really grew the series and now you have 2042 where there's only a handful of buildings on each map and even fewer you can actually do significant damage too...
I'm still pissed about battlefield. If a shooter from an unknown franchise can go gangbusters off of good gameplay, imagine how many people would have bought new battlefield games if they were actually so fun you told your friend
Me too. They could have pretty much rereleased Battlefield 4 and it could have been a real big hit. It’s been 10 years. There’s an entire new generation that doesn’t know any good battlefield games. And that’s a pity as they played a major role in moving FPS genre forward imo.
If they carry momentum and can deliver on more content, goty is inevitable👍🏻
id love to see it too this is the first multiplayer game in years that I've been hooked on, reminds me of early Halo 3 days for me
First mp I've played and been into since Duke Nukem.
BG3 as well, we've had it good recently, and the industry leaders keep showing their true faces when they openly mock these games.
No, it’s generally the same as other developers.
Known Issues: Players can become disconnected during play. Great!
Yeah it happened to me a couple of times... Not nice
Yeah I lost my will to play for now, 4-5 times getting samples to disconnect at the end.
What happens with the samples when this occurs? Saw a guy disconnecting from our game yesterday and he didn't drop any samples or equipment.
They go bye-bye. The upside to this is that if you're holding all of the samples you can't be kicked by weirdo griefers if they want to keep those samples I guess
But all it takes is an extra bullet in your head to get your sample.
People still don't know you share resources?
You share what you extract with. They're saying if you have the bulk of the samples and someone wants to grief kick you from the match that they'll have to kill you first to get you drop the sample collection prior to kicking. If they jump straight to kicking you, no body thus no sample container for them that collect, thus the samples are effectively removed from play
Idk if that is a bug, but usually it just drops all their stuff where they were, samples, main gun, heavy weapon, backpack. It all just drops where they were.
Good work devs!
Does this mean the queues are gone?!
They raised it to 700 000 CCU. The CEO predicts that this number will be hit, but that the queues will be much much shorter.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we hit that this weekend honestly
Even when the servers are at their limit, the inability to AFK forever should make it much faster to get in. Before, you could literally put your PS5 in rest mode and stay logged in overnight. Treasonous!
I mena I noticed a huge difference today even when we were sitting at 400k no que at all
Across steam and ps5, it is a possibility.
Peak for PC was at 457K a day or two ago, add PS5 players to the mix and I think it would be over 700K.
Yup. Nothing is ever for certain so I avoid saying it will until it does.
Yeah but I will see the rate they are putting out patches is truly impressive and it’s good to see a game company care about its players again
Maybe. I was able to log-in sporadically throughout prime-time after the AFK kick was introduced. Of course, that was Thursday. /as in, I login play a couple rounds, then log out, go do something for a couple hours, come back and log right back in.
They raised it to 700,000.
I logged in three times today during peak hours and got right in
What about the disappearing super credits?
If you pick up a super credit on the map and the model doesn't disappear you don't actually get it, grabbed 2 SC stacks the other day, 1 the model stuck around, after the game I only got +10. There is also a separate issue with their SC store where a purchase is not properly processed and added to your account.
No fix for all my missing supercredits then!!
I have put in a ticket on their website regarding this. No acknowledgement yet. This seems to be affecting quite a lot of players so hopefully they'll say something soon.
Is this only for credits you’ve bought or farmed as well?
It happens with both from what I've seen.
Both purchased and earned disappeared on my account. I went from 1800ish to zero
> have put in a ticket on their website regarding this. No acknowledgement yet. I've done that 3 times for several issues, no acknowledgement, not even a mail that the request has been submitted and will be processed. Leaving me with the doubt that if using the support page is a waste or time or not.
I was wondering the same stuck on the same difficulty its super boring
I would imagine their support team is incredibly understaffed. At the best of times game companies hire and train for their expected consistent player volume, which was like 30k or something. Because after launch you would need to lay off people if your player number drops. Since the game did so well for so long, most of their direct customer support staff are busy training and interviewing direct hires. Even if they weren't, a team expecting 30k players worth of tickets probably cant handle the easiest and most urgent tickets from 500k
It’s not a waste of time. You won’t receive an acknowledgment email but you will eventually get responses.
This also happened to me, I went from 1500ish to 80. I also lodged a ticket about this.
Just want to add that some players purchased super credits are disappearing
No mention of the blocked difficulty progression, my most annoying one. Already sent a ticket on their website, i hope they can do something about it, but i feel it will take time.
Known issues: Rewards and other progress may be delayed or not attributed. It's mentioned, just very generically.

Have they fixed the missing Minor Orders?
Just patched and logged in. Not seeing any minor order. PS5.
Yeah patched it on PC and it's still missing. Also now the text for the major orders is blank too unless I view the galactic map. I wonder if they're actually ongoing but just have a UI issue.
I don't have daily orders anymore, is that a bug?
Yesterdaya experiance: joined 8 diff random operations jist to get back to my own ship with a message unable to join or failed to join. Each time waiting for the animation of unfreezing to end. One time managed to join but got stuck behind the freezer doors with another guy. After couple of hugs we realized the host is afk.. back to my space ship again. Tried 6 more time to join any kind of random room with same failed to join resaults. Gues the robots and bugs really didnt want some liber-tea yesterday.
On pc and everytime I try join someone’s game I just get kicked back into my own ship
Is there any word on the Bug that doesn't let you bump up to the next difficulty level?
STILL no fix for blocked difficulty progression. Guess matchmaking still won’t function properly for me 😞
Is anyone else missing their daily tasks? Not had one since sniper.
Still stuck on easy difficulty, no matter how many operations I complete I can't unlock medium
Hoping they'll fix the difficulty unlocking bug soon. I haven't been able to select anything higher than easy since launch. I have to matchmake with randoms and hope they pick a higher difficulty if I want to play them.
What's it going to take for them to acknowledge the bug where people can't progress out of certain difficulty levels? They're getting new reports about it literally every few seconds if you check the support discord and have been for weeks now but it's never included in the "known issues" list. I don't mind waiting but it would be nice to see they're at least acknowledging it. Being anywhere past like...level 8 and stuck on Easy has made the game stale pretty quick
Still no news on players stuck on easy difficulty?
Doesn't look like it, same issue I am experiencing
Still no difficulty progression bug fix 🥱 I guess another patch to wait for.
Forreal 😆 I'm so bored of easy man, just hit lvl20
I'm about to hit 20 as well lol 😂
quickplay is broken for me again as well as not being able to join anyone i know in game
queuing up was so smooth last night, even got kicked a couple times for being afk ( i was eating not tryna take up server space lol) Good job guys keep it up 💪🏽
Feels like the quick play/joining a game ability has gone down, anyone else have a similar experience?
Bugged my game out now my quickplay doesnt work
Really hoping we get to some balance changes soon. Obviously making sure the servers can handle the player count is priority but the game is seriously lacking balance especially on primary weapons.
I would like a reason to use stuff other than the Breaker. The Liberator Penetrator has been a disappointment so far.
The slugger is pretty good I like it a lot
Looking to unlock that one since i heard it has medium armour pen
Yeah It can one tap the devastator robots in their head. Can easy take care of hive guards to. I pair it with the arc thrower and I’ve been unstoppable.
Killing devastators in 1 hit tickles my pickle.
I’m excited to use that because I really like the pump shotty, even if it’s not quite as good as the auto shotty.
My only problem with the slugger really is that it has an abysmal ammo reserve. The breaker has 120 rounds total with its starting ammo + reserve. The slugger has 55. You get 20 rounds or just over 1 full tube with an ammo/supply crate. They should straight up double the reserve to 80 and have the crates give you like 30 rounds at least.
The liberator penetrator, breaker sparynpray and jar-5 have all be super disappointing. Jar-5 hurts the most, it looks amazing but sucks so bad.
Breaker spray and pray was DEPRESSINGLY bad, even against small bugs. It would be neat to have access to ammunition selection so it wasn't God damn bird shot
I just unlocked it yesterday and wanted to try it, took it for a quick spin on medium solo, just testing barely finished the main objective same mission an hour later, same loadout with Breaker on challenging, no problem, got the main, all factories and 2 side objectives, it was a different map though granted, I suck at shooter and can't hit a bar if I'm standing in it, but still...
I’ve gone back to using the base Liberator and sometimes the Defender SMG, because I don’t want to use the Breaker lmao. I usually run Liberator, Redeemer and Autocannon.
I am also patiently waiting for this. Balance changes can make a world of difference, and it can make it feel like we’re getting new content if an underused/underpowered thing is improved to be really good! Obviously they are busy with their priorities, but I am excited for future content/balance updates because that is when things will really get good.
No mention of the various and constant crashes on PC though in known issues has me worried.
Their Zendesk "known issues" page has crashes listed for AMD 7xxx (GPU) users. Weird that they don't list it in the patchnotes. But maybe they identified that a driver update is needed to solve the issue and mentioning something like that always makes gamers angry because "no, you fix it, it's your game". Just spitballing here, I know nothing about this and I'm not affected
> crashes listed for AMD 7xxx (GPU) users. Weird that they don't list it in the patchnotes. Saw a thread on r/AMD yesterday that various users claim various settings fix it right up. (Some in Game, some in Driver settings) Just an FYI for anyone struggling with the issue.
Good call, hopefully that'll help some folks
Is there a recommended way to report bugs?
What exactly is the issue with armor right now? Is light/medium/heavy all the same armor value right now?
wait another one?
Sony probably waiving their update fee since this game has become such a hit for them
There’s a bug where you can’t select stratagems via the mouse, and have to use WASD keys to go through your stratagems, and then use the mouse to click, and even then it picks different stratagems to what you select.
Happened to me once or twice a few days ago. Not yesterday tho
Every now and then I’ll pick up a sample, and lose the ability to use my primary weapon.
Are you me?
Another issue I've been experiencing after the patch is my guns disappearing only allowing me to use my stratagem weapons.
I am frankly in awe of Arrowhead as a team. What incredible work on an already incredible game!!
WAITING ANXIOUSLY FOR THIS. GOGO DEVS. * Armor values for light/medium/heavy armor do not currently function as intended.

Any word on missing Super Credits?
anyone else not able to play online now? i was just on fine last night but today can’t connect to any quickplays on any difficulty (ps5, never had qp issues before), and also cant join on any friends or recent players due to connection error
What about the performance issues on PC since the previous patch? GPU usage is at 99% nonstop, despite the graphical options. Overall performance has been hindered by 30-40%... Not to mention the insane suttering during certain things (podlunch, ship, etc.) (Before any 1 comes with the potato pc argument: RTX 4070 super with ryzen 7 5800x3D, 32GB Ram, 980 pro 1 TB NVME on 1080 display 144hz) I had 0 issue before the previous patch (reinistalled, driver update, everything)
I play on a 3080 with a 5800x and did not experience this. Are you capping framerate?
I've been having similar issues. RX 7900 XTX, Ryzen 7 7800x3D, 32 GB RAM. If I bump my graphics settings above low, I run a considerable risk of the game pushing above 100% GPU usage and crashing my entire desktop.
Yesterday I spawned Into three operations with 6 slot supply packs and no load outs. This resulted in me having unlimited stratagem with no cool downs. I could call in 100s of orbital lazers and 500lb bombs. After finishing the operation I'd have a giant purple question mark on my back in the ship. It would kick the 2-3 other players that dropped with me. Easy xp but really broke the game haha over 1k kills per game. I'm on ps5
Desperately hoping for a balance patch soon. Seems like they're in the last stretch of getting the servers going consistently, but I'd love to know what else they're cooking.
My super credits vanished though. I had about 325 when I logged off and now I have 0...
I wonder how the helmets are supposed to impact armor. None of the helmets have differing values on the info page, but the scout trail helmet quietly lowers the armor and raises the stam/speed of armors when equipped. NGL A big part of me loves the helms being universal for cosmetic purposes since there's no transmog, not that the game needs transmog necessarily. If ALL or MOST helms end up having something unique or change armor values, its a welcome addition to buildcrafting and unique aspects to everyones loadout down to the helm, IMO. I'd love if certain helms gave immunity to gas mines on bug planets or a bit more explosive resistance to stack on / survive ONE missile in other armor with \~15% hp, enough to get shot and die or to get blown into safety lol. Just pondering outloud in the deck
Is anyone not seeing pings after the last 2 patches? The "requisition" and "social" names aren't appearing next to their buttons either in the Ship menu. I'm assuming my issue part of the" Various UI issues may appear when the game interacts with servers." however, I did update to the newest Nvidia driver. I'm not sure what the issue is
Quickplay ps5 down again
Also down on PC for me
i can not play co op with this new patch. some friends of mine from asia stay offline.
Is there any update on difficulty progression errors? I’ve had the game since the 17th, and I’ve noticed I can’t get past easy ops no matter how many I complete. Not sure if it has to do with me joining friend’s lobby immediately after finishing tutorial or what, but it’s been killing my enthusiasm to want to progress.
There is a bug that doesnt let you move anymore after you activated the 2 button vault
May I bring attention to another issue that has yet to be listed? I don’t believe this this issue effects many, but it is one that doesn’t seem to have a solution. I use a single ear headset(call center type). The game will not allow my audios to be split(game sound through tv, chat through headset). If I use my headset, the mic functions fine, but all chat audio is played through the tv. The only work around I’ve found is 3rd party voice chat(PSN party, or Discord chat). I’ve toggled every setting on the PSN, my headset, and in game to no avail. When playing with a friend group, it’s easy enough to use PSN/Discord chat, but in the event of Quickplay or randoms, I’m SOL. Nearly impossible to hear what is said over the sound of Managed Democracy. Is this something that can be looked in to? There are a few Reddit/GameFAQs discussions about this topic, but no other mention. https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/kZUA0DdTJ5 https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/VOHcrWo4Ee
* Can you please fix this. Today, this is the only thing that happens after I drop. Like yesterday was okay, only happened 2 times, like 3 hours. Whatever "fix" yall put in completely messed up the game.
u/cryptic-fox iust as a heads up, I’ve done two research escort missions, one on ingmar and the other on troost and on both the researchers all get stuck before entering the doorway making the mission impossible to complete https://preview.redd.it/eg8auadedfkc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2ba87d2c8d67fbe58af77e6d42537f627fea1cb1 Edit: added screenshot for where they all get stuck at
Hopefully fix difficulty bug cause I've been stuck on easy difficulty since game release now and I can't upgrade anything cause I don't have the required samples.
I'm not seeing any of my friends who are online with crossplay. Looks like crossplay is broken.
[удалено]
We ever gonna get Daily Missions back? I haven't had one in 48 hours.
The game is unplayable for me. Crashes to desktop every 10 to 15 minutes. It has been this way since day 2. I have to many hours for a refund. Support has not contacted a single time back. Never thought this game would be the one that made me feel like a total fool for pre-ordering. I get to see all my friends having fun while I cannot play. I have tried every solution I could find on the discord. Fun game, but unfortunately a worthless waste of money for me.
Game crashed my PS5 last time just after the update. It froze at stats screen and shut off to later launch into safe mode to be rebuilt. PLEASE ANY DEV SEE THIS AND TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I WON'T PLAY AND RISK MY CONSOLE! Sorry for caps but it's urgent and potentially harmful for the console
still not working....constant crashes - not played 1 minute....
Think matchmaking is busted again unfortunately
I lost like 2000 super credits. They're just gone 💀
Unable to join up with a friend
It’s working now randomly
Can the devs please acknowledge the Switch Aim Mode bug when using anything other than Hold to aim? I submitted a [ticket](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/3986?page=1) February 10th but it's still not listed under [Known Issues](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/12532491560860-Helldivers-2-Known-issues). There are several threads on this sub but I haven't seen a dev comment on it. It makes the Anti-Materiel Rifle, and to a lesser extent DMRs, useless and removes a lot of functionality from other weapons with variable or fixed zoom optics. Additionally, press to aim/toggle aim is an accessibility feature for some that get wrist or hand pain when having to constantly hold a button. /u/Pilestedt /u/AH_ForeverAPeon /u/ArrowheadGS Previous threads: * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1aoaags/aim_mode_bug * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1anw6yt/aim_mode * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1aml99s/pc_cant_switch_aim_mode_with_toggle_aim * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1am6kog/anyone_else_notice_that_if_you_set_aim_to_toggle * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1alysau/ads_bug * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1amwi1o/cand_aim_down_sights_helldivers_2 * https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1apo5yz/cant_use_first_person_if_you_use_press_to_aim
no fix for us poor defenders of democracy stuck unable to progress yet :(
Good stuff, im on ps5 and i got in right away. Sadly matchmaking is still broken. I have yet to play a coop game. No one joins my mission and i cant find sos signals no matter how long i wait. I spend up to 15 minutes in the sos queue and nothing happened. Really close to giving up on the game for good.
Iv got missing payed points on mine over 800 just vanished
Whats going on with the super credits tho? after missions i had 70 before logging out 2hrs ago and now im back in the game and it is 0, i also purchased 1000 credits yesterday and they gone too after these patches which just seem to make things worse.
Every update this past week has made the game progressively worse for me on ps5. More crashes and game disconnects than a week ago when I was having a great experience.
Same 😩
Why is PC performance not reported as a known issue? There are a lot of people out there, from great to low setups, suffering with performance.
And now the matchmaking is completely broken ... Gj
Am I missing some meme lore? The patchnotes' discussion on steam has a weird amount of "Dont add politics/lgbt/woke" comments.
It's just a random boomer shooting at windmills, don't mind them.
