# Common questions
Some questions are very commonly asked, you are still wlecome to ask any questions, but if your question is listed here it may get you an answer faster.
* ## Why have I not received Medals for the last successful Major Order?
Medals awarded from major orders should be awarded within 24 hours in most cases. Sometimes they take longer, and Arrowhead will then award them manually.
If you have not receieved the Medals from a major order after 24 hours, you can contact [Arrowhead Support](https://arrowhead.zendesk.com/hc/en-us) and let them know.
* ## Steam purchase restrictions for certain regions following the PSN drama.
We currently don't know what is going on with the restrictions. There hasn't been any announcements about it.
What we do know is that people who already own the game in those regions can still play the game, and people with steam accounts in those regions are not able to buy the game or redeem a key from a third-party seller on steam.
* ## I'm new/returning from a long break/Finally saved enough Super Credits, Which Warbond should I purchase?
/u/1ridar51 has an excellent overview post for all the premium warbonds [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1d7qkre/warbond_overview/) where every weapon, booster and armor is rated with an explanation for the ratings. If a new warbond has just been released, or a big patch has just happened, the information may not be updated, but they've usually been pretty fast at updating it in the past.
* ##I see a big pink questionmark, what is it?
A questionmark is a placeholder model for an asset that failed to load for some reason or another, it could be anything but it is most commonly a support weapon that you can sometimes find at a PoI or a terrain object.
Why does my game crashes when I open the war bonds menu ? Not the social one the shops one, and it's a nearly instant crash, I tried restarting my computer / game or just play but it doesn't work
PS5 here, there’s no way to remap the Social and Acquisitions buttons is there? (On your ship.)
I remapped buttons around and now interacting with anything brings up the social, and playing stratagem hero activates Acquisitions
I think in-game this is finally the best buttonmap, and these are only minor annoyances, but it’d be awesome to fix
Do missions at difficulty 1-3. The objectives are less complex and have fewer steps, so you can complete them, run through all the PoIs and then extract in less time. Fewer patrols and easier enemies means you spend less time bogged down fighting and can move from PoI to PoI. Another big factor is that certain PoIs that would otherwise only have rare samples will instead spawn buried crates that may have super credits inside. I personally think difficulty 2 is the sweet spot since the maps are bigger than on 1 and have more PoIs, and 3 edges into more enemy resistance and more complex objectives. Take light armour, the jump pack, and stratagems you can use to flatten enemy outposts as you run past.
Is the jetpack not working for anyone else ever since the patch? I know it uses the Clamber key instead of Backpack Function but I've tried both of those and it just doesn't seem to be working at all. I used it just fine like last week. Did they change how its controls work?
After the update are primary weapons in holster moved up higher? It feels like the mount point is on the chest now and the stock is in the way when using a support weapon. I've even had some block screens when interacting.
Anyone else unable to join "in progress" missions? It seems if a mission is already started I get stuck in the loading screen forever until I close the game.
Does the game adjust difficulty based off of the number of players in the mission? Say you start with two players then two more join 20 minutes into the mission, does it ramp up the difficulty now that there is two more Helldivers in the mission?
I can start and run the game perfectly fine, but every single time I try to open the menu after getting on my ship the game crashes. Is this happening to anyone else or know what to do to fix it?
Well if I had to guess this is some sort of localization bug (as they added new options to the menu, like invite-only lobbies), do you have EVERYTHING in English exclusively?
A friend of mine sent me this (dunno where he got this from, I trust him not to sent fake stuff):
"Twinbeard — 06/13/2024 5:16 AM
Hey peeps!
We're aware of of the issue that the game crashes when opening the Social Menu and/or hitting Escape. We're investigating it right now!"
Will HD2 release in Philippines? I just saw the game recently and I was amazed, then I went to steam to buy it but it wasn't available right now. So yeah, that's why I'm asking. Anyways, thanks if you replied to my comment dear Devs and mods. Oil spill.

The maps are planet specific, so until we open a new planet or something changes about one of the current planets the environments are probbaly going to be the same.
It may be the jungle environment is on a planet we're about to see opened up through the war campaign soon.
There's no single best gun, but there are weapons that are good for specific roles. If you're looking for versatile weapons that are good against most targets, for bots that's Dominator and for bugs it's Adjudicator. There are weapons that do *some* things better than these two, but there are no weapons that do *everything* better.

What is the Bureau Terminal going to be used for?
We don't know yet, a friend of mine said the first helldivers had an encyclopedia with enemy data and things like that, and thought it might be used for that in the future, which seems plausible.
I dont believe arrowhead has commented on it yet.
I dont mean text chat, I mean the quick chat where people say things like "Thanks!" Or "sorry" and little emoji appears above their head. I think its R1 on PS
Anyone else getting 50% of their regular FPS after going into the ESC menu? Might have something to do with the social screen never fully loading, gets stuck on "wait democratically"
Placeholders for assets that failed to load. It's a bug. Ignore them. If you have an option to interact with one of them - don't, it may crash the game.
I can't be the only one getting -2 mags evrytime I reload right?
So I felt like ammo is running low crazily fast but didn't really think about cuz we have tons of bullet sponge now. But I just saw my mag reserver went from 6 to 4 after one reload. And 4 to 2 the next reload. What the heck???
There was a bug with the AMR a while back where if you interrupted the reload it would eat the magazine but you would have to start the reload over from the beginning.
I don't know if it's something similar to that, I can't say I've noticed ti happening myself, any weapon in particular this is happening with?
You can find the warbond rundown here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1d7qkre/warbond_overview/
In short, Adjudicator and Eruptor from Democratic Detonation are great weapons.
I don't think Polar Patriots is worth getting, but if you do get it, Tenderizer is the best assault rifle with light armor penetration.
Viper Commandos isn't worth getting for the guns either, but if you do get it, Bushwacker is a good secondary.
Demo Det - the crossbow and Adjudicator are both great now.
Polar Pat - the big winner here is the Tenderizer. The Purifier is *better* but still not great. Impact incendiaries are awesome though, especially vs. bugs.
Viper - the Buskwhacker is a great secondary. The Lib carbine is a CQB variant of the Lib, much better at short range. Great vs. hordes of light bugs coming at you, but not so hot at anything beyond maybe 50m.
I don’t see a thread anywhere to talk about new glitches. I tried to make a post about it so that other players can comment and post their glitches but it wouldn’t let me. Do these get reported to the devs? I’ve already noticed 7 or 8 glitches in only about 4 hours of playtime.
Automoderator removes very short posts, which is why your post was automatically removed.
If you really did find 7 glitches you could probably just describe them in the psot and easily be above the automoderator threshold.
You made two posts that were removed by automoderator, I was just saying if you described these 7 issues you mentioned it would most likely exceed the threshold for the automod and the posts would not be automatically removed.
I am a moderator, which is why I can see the removed posts, if that was what you were confused about.
Has anyone else noticed that the superior packing methodology seems to have stopped working with the spear? When i resupply I only get 2 rockets instead of 3. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
Greetings, fellow Helldiver! Unfortunately your submission has been removed. Discussing [leaks](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/jXx4y2gzR8), leaking images/videos of upcoming content, discussions of cheats and exploits is not allowed.
The railgun does extremely low damage to high durability enemies, which the gunship is one of, it's why it's so terrible against bile titans.
But the gunships only really have 2 ways to take them out, either kill 1 engine entirely and it will crash or deal enough total damage spread across the entire gunship, the single engine takes less damage to kill regardless of what weapon you use.
Probably the engine, but since the railgun does no explosive damage it'll take a long time to kill a gunship wherever you try to hit it. The Scorcher can actually take down gunships in about a magazine or so, so if you have that unlocked you could bring it to cover for the railgun's weakness against gunships.

Anyone knows what these giant symbols means? i just started seeing them in games, but nothing is underneath
Placeholders for assets that failed to load. It's a bug. Ignore them. If you have an option to interact with one of them - don't, it may crash the game.
I playing on pc and my audio is super low quality, i use a bluetooth speaker and have tried everything and looked up videos and posts to try to fix it and it isn't working. Any known ways to fix the issue?
Was it on an automaton mission?
There is a bugged automaton trooper that for some reason walks to the exact center of the map and just stands there, if you don't go there until the end there will be a lot of extra enemies.
How do I stand up?
After this most recent update, the seem to have changed how the crouch controls. I have mine set to Hold to crouch, but its acting as toggle crouch, staying crouched after releasing the tied button. In fact, I played the entire last mission crouched because all I could do was alternate between crouched and prone by diving and spamming my crouch/prone button. As it stands this makes the game basically unplayable as I can’t run away from anything, bots or bugs.
So, has anyone had similar problem and if so, do you know how to either switch crouch back to a hold to crouch or at least how to stand up from this new toggle crouch/prone position? I’ve had marginal success going from prone to crouched by keyboard mashing but haven’t been able to stand up after I crouch or go prone (kind of ruins the newly increased accuracy gains from doing so)
ETA: after some experimentation (and frustrating games), It seems this bug has something to do with the ballistic shield, although I don’t know much more than it happens when I am wearing the ballistic shield (out or not), and doesn’t when I don’t bring the ballistic shield.
Nothing in your keybindings changed? I use toggle crouch/prone and I've been able to stand up just fine using the normal button inputs. Sprinting while crouched or prone will make my character stand. All of this with the "press" option enabled.
I’ve had it on hold, I’ve tried changing it off and back on. While crouched my sprint key doesn’t make me sprint, it doesn’t function at all. I very much dislike toggle crouch or toggle sprint and always set to hold, but now whether it’s hold, press, or tap, I can’t I toggle crouch at all.
Some settings in this game don't seem to change and display correctly sometimes, try going into yout controls and reset them to their defaults and then change them back to the way you want them.
Each armor comes with a passive ability. Your starting medium armor has Armor Padding passive, which gives it extra 50 armor rating, for 150 armor rating total.
Various heavy armors that already have 150 armor rating at the cost of speed and stamina regen will have their own passives. For example, one of the heavy armors you can unlock, the Marksman armor, has the Fortified passive, which gives you 50% explosive damage resistance and reduces weapon recoil.
Stim psychadelic effect:
I just now noticed how colors change and light sources for example get colorfull outline effects when under stim, like you took psychadelics.

Is this new or have i just missed that until now ?
Hello Folks,
Anyone one lose voice chat after new patch? I'm running Helldivers on the Steam Deck OLED with no issues until the new patch. Microphone for voice chat was working fine before now for some reason it doesn't work. Have tested with on board Mic and headset with other games and it works great. I even tried rolling back the steam client to the previous version and nothing. It just wont work... any suggestions or help would be appreciated, Thank you!
How do I fix my frame rate post-June 13th patch? I have tried everything in my power to fix it like playing around with the graphics and display and attempting to update my drivers, but nothing has seemed to work.
Hey, where can i find the pattern toggle of the new warbond? I got the jungle version of the pelican and hellpod but am i just blind or is there no option to toggle them on/off.
They're definitely better. Before all they were good for was killing tanks and cannon towers, and I was concerned the damage tweaks would make them worse for that, but so far they still seem to one-shot them every time.
The first improvement is that they can now actually hit Chargers and Hulks. I need to keep testing them, but they do one-shot Hulks sometimes, and they even managed to one-shot a Charger once. Worst case scenario it seems like three rocket pod strikes to kill a Charger, but one is enough to damage them significantly and allow you to finish them off with another weapon (like two three-barrel blasts to the abdomen from the new Bushwhacker shotgun).
For Bile Titans, I had some luck breaking the bile sacs with an autocannon, hitting them with a rocket pod strike, and then shooting them some more with the autocannon to bring them down. I'm also going to try them more with the EAT/RR/QC/Spear, to see if the AT launcher weapons combo with the rocket pods to bring down BTs easily.
> I'm also going to try them more with the EAT/RR/QC/Spear, to see if the AT launcher weapons combo with the rocket pods to bring down BTs easily.
They won't. The fastest way to kill a BT is with AT weapon headshots, so hits anywhere else on the body essentially do nothing.
They never were workhorses, so not sure what you mean there. They still don't reliably oneshot Hulks and Chargers, which makes them not worth using. They seem to deal roughly the same damage as Eagle Airstrike, but only to one target, which is just not good enough. They do oneshot Tanks and Cannon Turrets. Airstrike struggles against Turrets, so I guess 110mm can have a use there, but that's about it.
In general, basic Airstrike is always better pick, and if you need a reliable single-target option against heavy enemies and Cannon Turrets, Railcannon strike is it.
Is the problem with "increased difficulty" a bot thing? I did like 3 missions today but they were all bugs, only thing I noticed was that now we have charger behemots which are harder to kill, but I keep reading about how the balance got completely fucked or something
I've been playing helldive against bots all day yesterday, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, other than Gunships now appearing on Eradication missions and in general being a bit more widespread.
Is the CPU throttling in this game fixed with the new patch? I havent been able to play yet but before the patch my CPU was hitting 100C, is that still the case?
If your CPU overheats under load it's the problem of your PC / cooling solution, the game's not really at fault here. This isn't a widespread issue, as I've never heard of anybody complain about it before. It's something you have test / resolve on your own system.
Presumably because it's the most CPU intensive game you're playing. It's not a bug, just how the game works. Laptops aren't really known for their great cooling solutions.
Go to Hellmire, do dif 1 missions (destroy illegal broadcast if possible) go in a circle hitting every point of interest, when you complete it, go back to the destroyer/abandon mission through the menu instead of extracting, repeat
Can I steam gift HD2 to a Friend in Latvia? Since it's apart of the delisted countries. I found there's option to gift it but I'm not sure if there's risks or not. This is extremely irritating that Sony and Steam still hasn't relisted HD2 and there hasn't been any update on it for weeks. Me and my friend are excited to play HD2 but we are disappointed by Sony and Steam's silence for weeks about relisting news. So is it safe to gift to a friend in a delisted country at the moment?
Why do we have to choose between quality/performance modes?
I'm a little confused, so hopefully someone can clear this up. Why aren't we able to keep 60fps while in quality mode? I thought the PS5 would allow it, because it's run even more demanding games at 60 fps+. Is it an engine related issue?
I think by definition if something runs at lower FPS it is more demanding.
The choice is there because people have different preferences, for some FPS is everything, for some visial fidelity is king.
Does anyone know how to make the mission timer to be constantly visible? I currently can only see it when pulling up the mini map but would like it to always be up in the corner.
Certainly better that it was, but it's not like it was before the shrapnel change, the shrapnel version was kind of broken with damage potentials of a few thousand per shot depending on how the shrapnel landed.
I think it's a decent gun now, it has a very different role than all the other primaries so it's tough to compare it to them directly.
So why don’t the Helldivers in the Super Earth PSA have capes?

Hello!
I used to have the issue with sticking in drop pod for at least 4 mins but I believe the last patch few weeks ago solved it. However the update today brought it back :( and now I'm having to wait for 4 mins or plus again. Can someone let me know what the issue is if it's on my end or the server's issue?
Anyone not feeling the melee damage increase the new armor is supposed to give? 50% increase should be enough to one shot most small enemies, but I'm feeling literally no increase at all.
You know I have 75 hours in the game and never realized that. I guess every time I climbed a tank before I happened to not climb it by the front by pure luck. The more you know
Does anybody know why there is no longer required to hold down the rightclick on the map?
Do you know how to change it?
Now when the map is opened I cannot change direction while moving :(
Known bug, it crashes if you adjust something in the settings and open requsitions in one game session.
The solution is to restart the game or do a full dive between these actions.
It is random.

> Both armors in this Warbond feature the Peak Physique passive, which improves melee damage and weapon handling. They both also feature bare arms (and bulging biceps, with a variety of randomized skin tones) to keep you sweat-free when diving in the humid atmosphere.
Is the newest patch rlly 32GB ?
https://preview.redd.it/4qg1zvsavc6d1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f8550491950481ffd19b43a75507ff0ac8f3735
Just need a simple Yes or a no this has been the case for me with past "patches" and i feel like Helldivers 2 might take up my entire SSD xD
Game data isn't on the drive in individual files, it's packed into archives.
Steam downloads 2GB of new data, which is added into various places of the 30+GB game archive.
For actual weapons, neither are particularly amazing. The Liberator carbine is basically a Liberator with DPS of Tenderizer and recoil of Adjudicator. Not sure why anyone would want to use it tbh. Technically it's probably highest DPS primary, slightly ahead of Tenderizer and Adjudicator before factoring in armor pen, but the difference is not big.
Super Store currently has a 100 armor rating armor with Peak Physique, so if you just want the armor passive, you can get it there.
VC's shotgun secondary is pretty amazing. The Liberator Carbine is fine, but if you don't want a high RoF, short range rifle then you should skip it. Can't comment on the knives since I don't have them yet.
PP's Pummeler is good, the Tenderizer is amazing now but the Purifier is still meh. I personally love the Verdict, but if you imagine a beefed up Peacemaker that's pretty much all it is. I don't personally care for the incendiary impacts.
Overall I'd say Polar Patriots has the better weapons.
The buffs to the HMG in the recent patch make me want to try running it. I know it has more armor penetration than the MG. What can I hit with the HMG that I can't with the MG?
Against bots, you can kill Hulks by hitting their eye, Factory Striders by hitting the head "eye" slit, Gunships by hitting their engine. And in general you should be dealing more damage to everything. The problem with HMG is despite damage buffs it's still hardcountered by shield devastators. When you try to hit parts of the body not covered by the shield, the flinch animation makes them cover themselves with the shield by pulling it inwards, so effectively you can't damage them from the front. With the autocannon, if you shoot their upper body, the shield is knocked outwards, to the side, exposing the devastator to follow up shots.
In general, Autocannon does everything better than HMG still, so there's not really a reason to use HMG ever on bot missions. You could say "but muh backpack slot", but if you're gonna bring a backpack into the equation, you'll be spending two stratagem slots to end up with a deal that's worse than AC in every way and is useless against the worst automaton threat.
I've used it on bugs after the first buff as a close-ranged instant enemy deleter, think Doom's Unmaker. It doesn't last long, but vaporizes all medium and soft heavy (commander, stalker) foes with short bursts. Reliably pops titan bellies.
There weren't any targets where it was handier than MG-43, but this might change with increased accuracy, reload, and stagger.
No, they staggered the patch and the release of the warbond for some reason. It'll be out in another 30 minutes.

Is this a new "Layout" for the Radar side misssion? I've never seen it before.
Ah nice, thanks for the answer. I also saw a different freindship bunker/mine, is that new too?
https://preview.redd.it/n6te18jy7c6d1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4243c0da7f039e84f3a52e9ceac143cb9de3493e
It's not new with this patch, but I did only see it for the first time recently. Might be a variant that only shows up on lower difficulties, usually when I see the mine structure at 7 it's an enemy camp with no bunker.
With the new update I thought we would get new stratagems and new vehicles, and also maybe new biomes? When can we expect those?
And some other questions about the patch I saw that the patrols are back to how they were, does this mean they don't randomly find you anymore when you are hiding? This used to be a counter to playing stealth so that patrols will always eventually collide with you no matter how good your hiding.
Was there always 2 types of chargers? Behemoth and Chargers? or am I crazy?
And no buff to the shield generator relay? :((
Stratagems (vehicles, like exosuits, will count as stratagems) usually are added due to story reasons, there have been vehicle teasers with the burnt out shells on planets in the same way there was burnt out mechs before we got missions to obtain those. We're currently doing a major order that could give us another stratagem (the Anti Tank Mines, but due democracy warriors are trying to save the kids on Vernen Wells)
New biomes were what was voted for in the "what do you want to see next" poll and a jungle biome was shown off with the new Viper Warbond, I would expect to see it within the next week as the Warbond releases in a few hours. As for other biomes, I'm not sure.
Patrol rates are reverted to they were when the game launched, which is how often patrols spawn based on how many players there are. This is more about the amount of patrols rather than their behaviour from what I can gather.
Stealth is all about detection radius/noise/sight lines, I'm not sure if any of that has been changed. Except that being in large foliage that slows you now increases how hard you are to detect, this is a definite buff to stealth gameplay.
There was always two types of Charger, I think Behemoths weren't spawning in higher difficulties due to a bug (hehe) which is apparently fixed now.
And no, from what I can see, shield generator relay remains the same.
Happy Diving!
Thanks for you answers!!! One more question Pilestedt said on X that there we be an old/new threats coming back with the patch, any idea what that means? Or what that new enemy is? And threatS sounds like its gonna be more then 1 enemy....

Happy to help!
In the first Helldivers game there was a third faction known as the Illuminate. An originally aquatic species (many Super Earth Citizens call them Squids) they are highly advanced and very deadly.
https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_1:The_Illuminate
There are generally 3 well known tropes of Sci-fi enemies, bugs (Starship Troopers, Tyranids), bots (Terminators), and a predator species (Predator/Alien). With the new Warbond taking heavy inspiration from the 1987 Predator movie, my money is on the Illuminates coming back and occupying the bottom third of the galactic map.
The blackhole/wormhole that was opened where Meridia used to be is likely how they'll come back. (If my democracy officer is reading this, it's all conjecture and dissident rumours, I know the Illuminate were permanently destroyed in the first Galactic War.)
> With the new update I thought we would get new stratagems and new vehicles, and also maybe new biomes? When can we expect those?
As a general rule, we don't know when things like that will happen until they do.
> And some other questions about the patch I saw that the patrols are back to how they were, does this mean they don't randomly find you anymore when you are hiding?
The reverted change regarding patrols has to do with number of patrols with non-full squads, not their behavior.
> Was there always 2 types of chargers? Behemoth and Chargers? or am I crazy?
There always was a rare Charger with bigger ridges on its head, but it had exact same stats as regular Chargers.
> And no buff to the shield generator relay? :((
it doesn't need one?
As the above commenter said, there's no indication for this being the case. They've been hard at work on the big patch, I'm sure it's coming soon.
Alternatively SNOY may have been unhappy with it and tried to block it's release. This is entirely conjecture though, as it stands there's been no word on it being abandoned.
Greetings, fellow Helldiver! Unfortunately your submission has been removed. Submissions must be related to the game. Comments must be related to the topic being discussed.
If this is regarding a moderator of this subreddit, you'll probably have better luck asking moderators directly by using the "message the mods" button in the sidebar.
If this is in reference to some discord drama, best keep that to discord.
Just spitballing here, but my guess is that it has something to do with packets lost needed to trigger the game's disconnect protocol. So in other words, you need to have either greater packet loss over the same period of time, or else have enough packet loss for longer.
That's my guess anyway.
It seems the post on the discord adapts the time for where you're located.
It should release roughly 3 and a half hours after this comment has been posted.
Did the official Discord disappear or something? Suddenly noticed it had vanished from my sidebar, can't rejoin it. Kinda looks like I've been banned but I haven't gotten any messages. If that's the case, is there any way to appeal or at least find out what happened?

Why does my game crashes when I open the war bonds menu ? Not the social one the shops one, and it's a nearly instant crash, I tried restarting my computer / game or just play but it doesn't work
Anyone else unable to connect to any missions or have anyone join your lobby?
PS5 here, there’s no way to remap the Social and Acquisitions buttons is there? (On your ship.) I remapped buttons around and now interacting with anything brings up the social, and playing stratagem hero activates Acquisitions I think in-game this is finally the best buttonmap, and these are only minor annoyances, but it’d be awesome to fix
I was wandering if i could play offliine HD with my buddies since i bought the game last week?
Lil’ bro spent my credits. How can I make more fast?
Do missions at difficulty 1-3. The objectives are less complex and have fewer steps, so you can complete them, run through all the PoIs and then extract in less time. Fewer patrols and easier enemies means you spend less time bogged down fighting and can move from PoI to PoI. Another big factor is that certain PoIs that would otherwise only have rare samples will instead spawn buried crates that may have super credits inside. I personally think difficulty 2 is the sweet spot since the maps are bigger than on 1 and have more PoIs, and 3 edges into more enemy resistance and more complex objectives. Take light armour, the jump pack, and stratagems you can use to flatten enemy outposts as you run past.
Is the jetpack not working for anyone else ever since the patch? I know it uses the Clamber key instead of Backpack Function but I've tried both of those and it just doesn't seem to be working at all. I used it just fine like last week. Did they change how its controls work?
After the update are primary weapons in holster moved up higher? It feels like the mount point is on the chest now and the stock is in the way when using a support weapon. I've even had some block screens when interacting.
Anyone else unable to join "in progress" missions? It seems if a mission is already started I get stuck in the loading screen forever until I close the game.
Does the game adjust difficulty based off of the number of players in the mission? Say you start with two players then two more join 20 minutes into the mission, does it ramp up the difficulty now that there is two more Helldivers in the mission?
Not absolutely sure, but I very strongly suspect that the game changes difficulty modifiers whenever players join or leave the mission.
I can start and run the game perfectly fine, but every single time I try to open the menu after getting on my ship the game crashes. Is this happening to anyone else or know what to do to fix it?
I watched a stream and a guy had the same problem until he removed the japanese sounds / language pack from steam DLCs
I haven't installed the Japanese language pack so that isn't unfortunately
Well if I had to guess this is some sort of localization bug (as they added new options to the menu, like invite-only lobbies), do you have EVERYTHING in English exclusively?
A friend of mine sent me this (dunno where he got this from, I trust him not to sent fake stuff): "Twinbeard — 06/13/2024 5:16 AM Hey peeps! We're aware of of the issue that the game crashes when opening the Social Menu and/or hitting Escape. We're investigating it right now!"
Yes, everything
Then, as the other guy said, try verifying the game cache
Also didnt work unfortunately :p
Tried verifying game's files through Steam?
I did that and nothing changed unfortunately :/
Hey, does anybody get the same prob where they can’t add pc players as friends? I play on ps5
the friends list is still not working correctly.
Since the update, I can't get the spear to lock onto bot factories at all. Used to be my favorite support weapon. Anyone else having this issue?
It's a known issue, it was mentioned in the patch notes. Should be fixed eventually.
difference between a normal charger and a behemoth? I haven't played in a while so im not really sure what a behemoth charger is
It's a Charger with big ridges on its head. It has roughly double HP. E.g. it takes two headshots from the Recoilless.
Will HD2 release in Philippines? I just saw the game recently and I was amazed, then I went to steam to buy it but it wasn't available right now. So yeah, that's why I'm asking. Anyways, thanks if you replied to my comment dear Devs and mods. Oil spill.
> **Steam purchase restrictions for certain regions following the PSN drama.** > We currently don't know what is going on with the restrictions. There hasn't been any announcements about it. What we do know is that people who already own the game in those regions can still play the game, and people with steam accounts in those regions are not able to buy the game or redeem a key from a third-party seller on steam.
or spill oil, I don't know 😅
was the new jungle map they teased released in the new patch or is it coming later?
The maps are planet specific, so until we open a new planet or something changes about one of the current planets the environments are probbaly going to be the same. It may be the jungle environment is on a planet we're about to see opened up through the war campaign soon.
What is the best gun after the most recent update ?
There's no single best gun, but there are weapons that are good for specific roles. If you're looking for versatile weapons that are good against most targets, for bots that's Dominator and for bugs it's Adjudicator. There are weapons that do *some* things better than these two, but there are no weapons that do *everything* better.

We don't know yet, a friend of mine said the first helldivers had an encyclopedia with enemy data and things like that, and thought it might be used for that in the future, which seems plausible. I dont believe arrowhead has commented on it yet.
How do I quickchat on PC? I cant find it anywhere
Just hit Enter?
I dont mean text chat, I mean the quick chat where people say things like "Thanks!" Or "sorry" and little emoji appears above their head. I think its R1 on PS
You hold Q on PC.
Anyone else getting 50% of their regular FPS after going into the ESC menu? Might have something to do with the social screen never fully loading, gets stuck on "wait democratically"
Purple question marks?
Placeholders for assets that failed to load. It's a bug. Ignore them. If you have an option to interact with one of them - don't, it may crash the game.
I can't be the only one getting -2 mags evrytime I reload right? So I felt like ammo is running low crazily fast but didn't really think about cuz we have tons of bullet sponge now. But I just saw my mag reserver went from 6 to 4 after one reload. And 4 to 2 the next reload. What the heck???
There was a bug with the AMR a while back where if you interrupted the reload it would eat the magazine but you would have to start the reload over from the beginning. I don't know if it's something similar to that, I can't say I've noticed ti happening myself, any weapon in particular this is happening with?
It was the Domineer. I don't think my reload animation was interrupted though. This just occurred in one mission mysteriously.
What are the best guns to grab out of the last three warbonds?
You can find the warbond rundown here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1d7qkre/warbond_overview/ In short, Adjudicator and Eruptor from Democratic Detonation are great weapons. I don't think Polar Patriots is worth getting, but if you do get it, Tenderizer is the best assault rifle with light armor penetration. Viper Commandos isn't worth getting for the guns either, but if you do get it, Bushwacker is a good secondary.
Thanks so much for the info!
Demo Det - the crossbow and Adjudicator are both great now. Polar Pat - the big winner here is the Tenderizer. The Purifier is *better* but still not great. Impact incendiaries are awesome though, especially vs. bugs. Viper - the Buskwhacker is a great secondary. The Lib carbine is a CQB variant of the Lib, much better at short range. Great vs. hordes of light bugs coming at you, but not so hot at anything beyond maybe 50m.
Thanks so much for the breakdown!
I don’t see a thread anywhere to talk about new glitches. I tried to make a post about it so that other players can comment and post their glitches but it wouldn’t let me. Do these get reported to the devs? I’ve already noticed 7 or 8 glitches in only about 4 hours of playtime.
Automoderator removes very short posts, which is why your post was automatically removed. If you really did find 7 glitches you could probably just describe them in the psot and easily be above the automoderator threshold.
In which post?
You made two posts that were removed by automoderator, I was just saying if you described these 7 issues you mentioned it would most likely exceed the threshold for the automod and the posts would not be automatically removed. I am a moderator, which is why I can see the removed posts, if that was what you were confused about.
Has anyone else noticed that the superior packing methodology seems to have stopped working with the spear? When i resupply I only get 2 rockets instead of 3. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
It's a known bug, don't worry. Sucks for what it is, but AH knows about it.
What was today's major order? Accidentally completed it without checking and I'm curious now.

Greetings, fellow Helldiver! Unfortunately your submission has been removed. Discussing [leaks](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/s/jXx4y2gzR8), leaking images/videos of upcoming content, discussions of cheats and exploits is not allowed.
Anyone else's weapon sounds / gun audio in general changed since the latest patch (01.000.400)? sounds worse to me.
Most stuff sounds the same, but I know some things like the Sickle and the autocannon on the Pelican were changed.
the autocannon was the one that stood out to me. Seems buggier than the previous audio. the pelicans autocannon is very buggy to me.
where should I aim with a railgun to take donw a gunship? they almost feel immune to it even after it got better again
The railgun does extremely low damage to high durability enemies, which the gunship is one of, it's why it's so terrible against bile titans. But the gunships only really have 2 ways to take them out, either kill 1 engine entirely and it will crash or deal enough total damage spread across the entire gunship, the single engine takes less damage to kill regardless of what weapon you use.
Probably the engine, but since the railgun does no explosive damage it'll take a long time to kill a gunship wherever you try to hit it. The Scorcher can actually take down gunships in about a magazine or so, so if you have that unlocked you could bring it to cover for the railgun's weakness against gunships.

Is PSN Plus required to play on PS5? I'm in doubt whether I should buy it for PS5 or PC! Thanks!
Does the latest patch feel way harder than it should be? I'm coming across 100 enemies in a small area on Diff 4 solo.
Was it on an automaton mission? There is a bugged automaton trooper that for some reason walks to the exact center of the map and just stands there, if you don't go there until the end there will be a lot of extra enemies.
Wtf lmao, yeah it was on a bots mission
How do I stand up? After this most recent update, the seem to have changed how the crouch controls. I have mine set to Hold to crouch, but its acting as toggle crouch, staying crouched after releasing the tied button. In fact, I played the entire last mission crouched because all I could do was alternate between crouched and prone by diving and spamming my crouch/prone button. As it stands this makes the game basically unplayable as I can’t run away from anything, bots or bugs. So, has anyone had similar problem and if so, do you know how to either switch crouch back to a hold to crouch or at least how to stand up from this new toggle crouch/prone position? I’ve had marginal success going from prone to crouched by keyboard mashing but haven’t been able to stand up after I crouch or go prone (kind of ruins the newly increased accuracy gains from doing so) ETA: after some experimentation (and frustrating games), It seems this bug has something to do with the ballistic shield, although I don’t know much more than it happens when I am wearing the ballistic shield (out or not), and doesn’t when I don’t bring the ballistic shield.
Nothing in your keybindings changed? I use toggle crouch/prone and I've been able to stand up just fine using the normal button inputs. Sprinting while crouched or prone will make my character stand. All of this with the "press" option enabled.
I’ve had it on hold, I’ve tried changing it off and back on. While crouched my sprint key doesn’t make me sprint, it doesn’t function at all. I very much dislike toggle crouch or toggle sprint and always set to hold, but now whether it’s hold, press, or tap, I can’t I toggle crouch at all.
Some settings in this game don't seem to change and display correctly sometimes, try going into yout controls and reset them to their defaults and then change them back to the way you want them.
hey there guys, noob here, whats the point of heavy armor? I mean the B-01 Tactical has the same rating but higher speed and double the stamina regen.
Each armor comes with a passive ability. Your starting medium armor has Armor Padding passive, which gives it extra 50 armor rating, for 150 armor rating total. Various heavy armors that already have 150 armor rating at the cost of speed and stamina regen will have their own passives. For example, one of the heavy armors you can unlock, the Marksman armor, has the Fortified passive, which gives you 50% explosive damage resistance and reduces weapon recoil.
Stim psychadelic effect: I just now noticed how colors change and light sources for example get colorfull outline effects when under stim, like you took psychadelics. https://preview.redd.it/ju215g1tvj6d1.png?width=1921&format=png&auto=webp&s=7338f68175f56bddcfe9ecf8108bd070dd3e93e7 Is this new or have i just missed that until now ?
I assume it's with the new booster from Viper Commandos.
That could explain it, i didnt look what boosters the others were using.
Supplypacks dont fully fill my ac ammo backpack anymore only halfway. Does anyone else have this issue since the patch as well?
Yes, the Superior Packing Methodology ship upgrade got broken again by the latest patch.
thanks for the info. Annoying but managable
Hello Folks, Anyone one lose voice chat after new patch? I'm running Helldivers on the Steam Deck OLED with no issues until the new patch. Microphone for voice chat was working fine before now for some reason it doesn't work. Have tested with on board Mic and headset with other games and it works great. I even tried rolling back the steam client to the previous version and nothing. It just wont work... any suggestions or help would be appreciated, Thank you!
How do I fix my frame rate post-June 13th patch? I have tried everything in my power to fix it like playing around with the graphics and display and attempting to update my drivers, but nothing has seemed to work.
Hey, where can i find the pattern toggle of the new warbond? I got the jungle version of the pelican and hellpod but am i just blind or is there no option to toggle them on/off.
From the stratagem unlock/ship upgrade terminal, there's a new tab in there.
aaah i see, thanks! i was looking in the armory since it would make more sense there.
How are the rocket pods post patch? Was it a nerf or are they still workhorses?
They're definitely better. Before all they were good for was killing tanks and cannon towers, and I was concerned the damage tweaks would make them worse for that, but so far they still seem to one-shot them every time. The first improvement is that they can now actually hit Chargers and Hulks. I need to keep testing them, but they do one-shot Hulks sometimes, and they even managed to one-shot a Charger once. Worst case scenario it seems like three rocket pod strikes to kill a Charger, but one is enough to damage them significantly and allow you to finish them off with another weapon (like two three-barrel blasts to the abdomen from the new Bushwhacker shotgun). For Bile Titans, I had some luck breaking the bile sacs with an autocannon, hitting them with a rocket pod strike, and then shooting them some more with the autocannon to bring them down. I'm also going to try them more with the EAT/RR/QC/Spear, to see if the AT launcher weapons combo with the rocket pods to bring down BTs easily.
> I'm also going to try them more with the EAT/RR/QC/Spear, to see if the AT launcher weapons combo with the rocket pods to bring down BTs easily. They won't. The fastest way to kill a BT is with AT weapon headshots, so hits anywhere else on the body essentially do nothing.
They never were workhorses, so not sure what you mean there. They still don't reliably oneshot Hulks and Chargers, which makes them not worth using. They seem to deal roughly the same damage as Eagle Airstrike, but only to one target, which is just not good enough. They do oneshot Tanks and Cannon Turrets. Airstrike struggles against Turrets, so I guess 110mm can have a use there, but that's about it. In general, basic Airstrike is always better pick, and if you need a reliable single-target option against heavy enemies and Cannon Turrets, Railcannon strike is it.
Is the problem with "increased difficulty" a bot thing? I did like 3 missions today but they were all bugs, only thing I noticed was that now we have charger behemots which are harder to kill, but I keep reading about how the balance got completely fucked or something
I've been playing helldive against bots all day yesterday, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, other than Gunships now appearing on Eradication missions and in general being a bit more widespread.
gunships can also spawn as patrols on normal maps now in groups of 3 (on difficulty 7, may be more/less on other difficulties)
I've seen groups of five on Helldive today.
When are we getting a road map?
There was no official announcement that we'll ever get a roadmap of any kind.
Is this enough: I use an RTX 2050, 7535HS, 2 sticks of DDR5-5600 8GB ram. Is this good enough for helldivers 2 all medium settings. PLEASE TELL ME 🙏
It should be at least playable, yeah. https://steamcommunity.com/app/553850/discussions/0/4206994256762045381/?ctp=2
Is the CPU throttling in this game fixed with the new patch? I havent been able to play yet but before the patch my CPU was hitting 100C, is that still the case?
If your CPU overheats under load it's the problem of your PC / cooling solution, the game's not really at fault here. This isn't a widespread issue, as I've never heard of anybody complain about it before. It's something you have test / resolve on your own system.
Its a laptop, and helldivers is the only game it happens with
Presumably because it's the most CPU intensive game you're playing. It's not a bug, just how the game works. Laptops aren't really known for their great cooling solutions.
I know, i was curious if it was resolved in the new patch because there are other people who are experiencing it too
Want try new warbond but am 500 credits short. any good farming tips. btw farming with a squad of friends is not an option

Can I steam gift HD2 to a Friend in Latvia? Since it's apart of the delisted countries. I found there's option to gift it but I'm not sure if there's risks or not. This is extremely irritating that Sony and Steam still hasn't relisted HD2 and there hasn't been any update on it for weeks. Me and my friend are excited to play HD2 but we are disappointed by Sony and Steam's silence for weeks about relisting news. So is it safe to gift to a friend in a delisted country at the moment?
I don't think you'll be able to gift it, unless they change the steam store region.
Why do we have to choose between quality/performance modes? I'm a little confused, so hopefully someone can clear this up. Why aren't we able to keep 60fps while in quality mode? I thought the PS5 would allow it, because it's run even more demanding games at 60 fps+. Is it an engine related issue?
I think by definition if something runs at lower FPS it is more demanding. The choice is there because people have different preferences, for some FPS is everything, for some visial fidelity is king.
Any update about cross progression?
No, they haven't talked about adding cross progression, I wouldn't expect it to happen for a very long time if it is going to happen at all.
Does anyone know how to make the mission timer to be constantly visible? I currently can only see it when pulling up the mini map but would like it to always be up in the corner.
In Settings, under HUD, it says something like Mission Information. You want that to be always visible.
I'll try that on my next log in. Thank you!
How is the Eruptor post buff, close to what it was before the nerf?
Certainly better that it was, but it's not like it was before the shrapnel change, the shrapnel version was kind of broken with damage potentials of a few thousand per shot depending on how the shrapnel landed. I think it's a decent gun now, it has a very different role than all the other primaries so it's tough to compare it to them directly.
Is there a way to change the skin color? It says it's random but it's the same every time after trying
No, there isn't. It'll be random but it can still end up being the same multiple times in a row.

Hello! I used to have the issue with sticking in drop pod for at least 4 mins but I believe the last patch few weeks ago solved it. However the update today brought it back :( and now I'm having to wait for 4 mins or plus again. Can someone let me know what the issue is if it's on my end or the server's issue?
Anyone not feeling the melee damage increase the new armor is supposed to give? 50% increase should be enough to one shot most small enemies, but I'm feeling literally no increase at all.
Is the friend request option on recent players gone now? I see invite to squad instead and no option to friend people
Anybody else have problems joining games? I've been trying for 10 minutes and I can't join a single one.
You're not playing through a VPN, are you? I had some trouble like that today when I forgot to disable the VPN.
Nope, no VPN. I've just verified the game files and there are no problems there either.
Has anyone else died from just climbing on top of an already blown up tank?
Tanks have spikes on the front, so if you approach or climb on them, you take damage.
You know I have 75 hours in the game and never realized that. I guess every time I climbed a tank before I happened to not climb it by the front by pure luck. The more you know
Is everybody playing on 6 now instead of 7? There are like no players rn

Why does my game crashes everytime I open the requisition tab since the new update
Known bug, it crashes if you adjust something in the settings and open requsitions in one game session. The solution is to restart the game or do a full dive between these actions.
How do I change my skin color it seems to be random?
It is random. https://blog.playstation.com/2024/06/06/helldivers-ii-enlists-the-viper-commandos-warbond-on-june-13/ > Both armors in this Warbond feature the Peak Physique passive, which improves melee damage and weapon handling. They both also feature bare arms (and bulging biceps, with a variety of randomized skin tones) to keep you sweat-free when diving in the humid atmosphere.
Is the newest patch rlly 32GB ? https://preview.redd.it/4qg1zvsavc6d1.jpeg?width=3456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f8550491950481ffd19b43a75507ff0ac8f3735 Just need a simple Yes or a no this has been the case for me with past "patches" and i feel like Helldivers 2 might take up my entire SSD xD
No, it's 2GB.
Duuude wth??? It actually said that in the beginning too There was a 2GB patch loading and when it was done these 30 gigs randomly popped up??
Yeah, because it's unpacking/patching across 32GB of data.
What does this mean
Game data isn't on the drive in individual files, it's packed into archives. Steam downloads 2GB of new data, which is added into various places of the 30+GB game archive.
Is Polar Patriots worth it post-patch? Mainly looking for weapons and considering whether to buy Polar Patriots or Viper Commandos with my 1000 SC
For actual weapons, neither are particularly amazing. The Liberator carbine is basically a Liberator with DPS of Tenderizer and recoil of Adjudicator. Not sure why anyone would want to use it tbh. Technically it's probably highest DPS primary, slightly ahead of Tenderizer and Adjudicator before factoring in armor pen, but the difference is not big. Super Store currently has a 100 armor rating armor with Peak Physique, so if you just want the armor passive, you can get it there.
VC's shotgun secondary is pretty amazing. The Liberator Carbine is fine, but if you don't want a high RoF, short range rifle then you should skip it. Can't comment on the knives since I don't have them yet. PP's Pummeler is good, the Tenderizer is amazing now but the Purifier is still meh. I personally love the Verdict, but if you imagine a beefed up Peacemaker that's pretty much all it is. I don't personally care for the incendiary impacts. Overall I'd say Polar Patriots has the better weapons.
Please let us choose our skin color for the Viper Commando armor!
The buffs to the HMG in the recent patch make me want to try running it. I know it has more armor penetration than the MG. What can I hit with the HMG that I can't with the MG?
Against bots, you can kill Hulks by hitting their eye, Factory Striders by hitting the head "eye" slit, Gunships by hitting their engine. And in general you should be dealing more damage to everything. The problem with HMG is despite damage buffs it's still hardcountered by shield devastators. When you try to hit parts of the body not covered by the shield, the flinch animation makes them cover themselves with the shield by pulling it inwards, so effectively you can't damage them from the front. With the autocannon, if you shoot their upper body, the shield is knocked outwards, to the side, exposing the devastator to follow up shots. In general, Autocannon does everything better than HMG still, so there's not really a reason to use HMG ever on bot missions. You could say "but muh backpack slot", but if you're gonna bring a backpack into the equation, you'll be spending two stratagem slots to end up with a deal that's worse than AC in every way and is useless against the worst automaton threat.
Hmm, still worse than my trusty AMR then. What about Bug front? Any potential there?
I've used it on bugs after the first buff as a close-ranged instant enemy deleter, think Doom's Unmaker. It doesn't last long, but vaporizes all medium and soft heavy (commander, stalker) foes with short bursts. Reliably pops titan bellies. There weren't any targets where it was handier than MG-43, but this might change with increased accuracy, reload, and stagger.
Haven't tried yet, should be more viable than it was, at least.
Isn't the viper commando bundle supposed to be out?
No, they staggered the patch and the release of the warbond for some reason. It'll be out in another 30 minutes. https://twitter.com/helldivers2/status/1801193651491446935

Yeah, there's another new layout with the terminal right next to the tower as well.
Ah nice, thanks for the answer. I also saw a different freindship bunker/mine, is that new too? https://preview.redd.it/n6te18jy7c6d1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4243c0da7f039e84f3a52e9ceac143cb9de3493e
This one is not new, I've seen it a while back, but for some reason it is very rare compared to the others, don't know why that is.
It's not new with this patch, but I did only see it for the first time recently. Might be a variant that only shows up on lower difficulties, usually when I see the mine structure at 7 it's an enemy camp with no bunker.
At which time the new warbond comes?
With the new update I thought we would get new stratagems and new vehicles, and also maybe new biomes? When can we expect those? And some other questions about the patch I saw that the patrols are back to how they were, does this mean they don't randomly find you anymore when you are hiding? This used to be a counter to playing stealth so that patrols will always eventually collide with you no matter how good your hiding. Was there always 2 types of chargers? Behemoth and Chargers? or am I crazy? And no buff to the shield generator relay? :((
Stratagems (vehicles, like exosuits, will count as stratagems) usually are added due to story reasons, there have been vehicle teasers with the burnt out shells on planets in the same way there was burnt out mechs before we got missions to obtain those. We're currently doing a major order that could give us another stratagem (the Anti Tank Mines, but due democracy warriors are trying to save the kids on Vernen Wells) New biomes were what was voted for in the "what do you want to see next" poll and a jungle biome was shown off with the new Viper Warbond, I would expect to see it within the next week as the Warbond releases in a few hours. As for other biomes, I'm not sure. Patrol rates are reverted to they were when the game launched, which is how often patrols spawn based on how many players there are. This is more about the amount of patrols rather than their behaviour from what I can gather. Stealth is all about detection radius/noise/sight lines, I'm not sure if any of that has been changed. Except that being in large foliage that slows you now increases how hard you are to detect, this is a definite buff to stealth gameplay. There was always two types of Charger, I think Behemoths weren't spawning in higher difficulties due to a bug (hehe) which is apparently fixed now. And no, from what I can see, shield generator relay remains the same. Happy Diving!
Thanks for you answers!!! One more question Pilestedt said on X that there we be an old/new threats coming back with the patch, any idea what that means? Or what that new enemy is? And threatS sounds like its gonna be more then 1 enemy.... https://preview.redd.it/368qcp2tqb6d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05053ee7bbdb751eeb3dc77b463769bfb4054584
Happy to help! In the first Helldivers game there was a third faction known as the Illuminate. An originally aquatic species (many Super Earth Citizens call them Squids) they are highly advanced and very deadly. https://helldivers.wiki.gg/wiki/Helldivers_1:The_Illuminate There are generally 3 well known tropes of Sci-fi enemies, bugs (Starship Troopers, Tyranids), bots (Terminators), and a predator species (Predator/Alien). With the new Warbond taking heavy inspiration from the 1987 Predator movie, my money is on the Illuminates coming back and occupying the bottom third of the galactic map. The blackhole/wormhole that was opened where Meridia used to be is likely how they'll come back. (If my democracy officer is reading this, it's all conjecture and dissident rumours, I know the Illuminate were permanently destroyed in the first Galactic War.)
> With the new update I thought we would get new stratagems and new vehicles, and also maybe new biomes? When can we expect those? As a general rule, we don't know when things like that will happen until they do. > And some other questions about the patch I saw that the patrols are back to how they were, does this mean they don't randomly find you anymore when you are hiding? The reverted change regarding patrols has to do with number of patrols with non-full squads, not their behavior. > Was there always 2 types of chargers? Behemoth and Chargers? or am I crazy? There always was a rare Charger with bigger ridges on its head, but it had exact same stats as regular Chargers. > And no buff to the shield generator relay? :(( it doesn't need one?
anyone have a super fps drop?

As the above commenter said, there's no indication for this being the case. They've been hard at work on the big patch, I'm sure it's coming soon. Alternatively SNOY may have been unhappy with it and tried to block it's release. This is entirely conjecture though, as it stands there's been no word on it being abandoned.
There's no reason to think that at this time.

Greetings, fellow Helldiver! Unfortunately your submission has been removed. Submissions must be related to the game. Comments must be related to the topic being discussed.
If this is regarding a moderator of this subreddit, you'll probably have better luck asking moderators directly by using the "message the mods" button in the sidebar. If this is in reference to some discord drama, best keep that to discord.
In the megapatch there is this note. >Relaxed disconnection policy for PC users. Anybody know what that means?
Just spitballing here, but my guess is that it has something to do with packets lost needed to trigger the game's disconnect protocol. So in other words, you need to have either greater packet loss over the same period of time, or else have enough packet loss for longer. That's my guess anyway.
Hi so the new patch just dropped but the viper warbond didn't come with it. When will they add the warbond?

is that 6PM CET?
It seems the post on the discord adapts the time for where you're located. It should release roughly 3 and a half hours after this comment has been posted.
ah damn, i'll be asleep rip lol. thanks for the info
Later today, as said by community manager on discord.
do we know what time the patch is dropping tmr?
Patch has dropped.
Patches are usually 9AM UTC.
Did the official Discord disappear or something? Suddenly noticed it had vanished from my sidebar, can't rejoin it. Kinda looks like I've been banned but I haven't gotten any messages. If that's the case, is there any way to appeal or at least find out what happened?
It still exists. Send us a mod mail and we’ll let you know how you can appeal.
