Hello fellow Helldivers!
Piping hot fresh patch notes coming your way

Overview
This update includes

• Stability fixes

Gameplay

• We have updated the stats UI for weapons to take into account any explosive damage done by them. This is to give weapons that do damage with explosive projectiles a more fair representation in the UI. Most notably affected is the PLAS-1 Scorcher.

Fixes
Crash fixes

• Fixed some crashes that occurred when deploying to mission.
  
• Fixed some crashes that occurred during extraction and right after it.
  
• Fixed crashes that could occur if the squad deployed a large amount of support weapons.
  
• Fixed various crashes that could occur during gameplay.
  
• Fixed a crash that could occur when using heat based weapons.
  
• Fixed crashes which could occur if a player died while using the jetpack.
  
• Fixed crash which could occur when large volumes of enemies were present.
  
• Fixed crash which could occur when the player picked up a snowball.
  
• Fixed crash which could occur when completing an objective.

Other Fixes

• Fixed hang that could occur while navigating the social menu.
  
• Picking up Medals and Super Credits will no longer lock the player in place.

Known Issues
These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed. This list is not exhaustive, and we are continuing to identify issues and create fixes. These are organized by feedback, reports, severity, etc.

Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play:

• Player cannot navigate to the search results from the Search Bar in the Social Menu.

• Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.
  
• Certain weapons like the Sickle cannot shoot through foliage.
  
• Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned.
  
• Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire.
  
• Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
  
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
  
• Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock).
  
• Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
  
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.

ARMOUR

CE-27 Ground Breaker
Medium Armour.
“The ground is just another obstacle that hasn't yet been cleared.” - SGM Janet Jones, Excava-tion Corps Founder.

CE-07 Demolition Specialist
Light Armour.
Originally worn by Lunar terraformers, this suit can withstand rapid changes in pressure, heat, and personal velocity.

Domestic versions of this armour allow colonial farmers to safely plant crops and mines side-by-side while staying in one piece.

Of course, always accessorise your choice of armour with brand-new capes – Harbinger of True Equality, Eagle’s Fury, or Freedom’s Tapestry – as you mix and match your lethal loadout of liberation.

Democratic Detonation is rolling out to your Destroyer’s Acquisitions panel on April 11th.
