Primary Weapons
SG-8P Punisher Plasma
In response to popular Helldiver demand, General Brasch has issued an administrative order to revert the production changes made to the SG-8P Punisher Plasma (from Patch 01.001.104)
We have reverted the latest changes so the SG-8P Punisher Plasma will now have a more noticeable arc in its projectile path, starting off slower and maintaining speed longer. This will affect its recoil, fire rate, and projectile behavior

To further improve its effectiveness, the magazine capacity has increased from 8 to 10

Fixes
Resolved Top Priority issues:
Fixed an issue where encounters would not end and enemy spawning was turned off for the rest of the mission
Fixed a bug where the hive breaker drill would become inaccessible when called in
Fixed an issue where terminals would lose functionality preventing completion of a mission
Dead bodies of Chargers no longer launch Helldivers into the air
Supply packs are no longer used when pressing the d-pad down button whilst calling in a stratagem
QWERTY keyboard numpad bindings now save correctly after the game restarts
The Service Technician is no longer mourning the death of her beloved pet goldfish “Goldie” and can now be interacted with again. Goldie received a dignified funeral and was laid to rest gracefully in a waste capsule, ejected towards the nearest planets atmosphere where the friction between the air and the capsule caused it to heat up, violently explode, and disintegrate
Fixed an issue so that other players can now join a lobby via Quickplay after any member of a 4-player party leaves
Fixed an issue where the social menu was stuck on ‘Please Wait Democratically’ for some players
Friends "Invite only" games can no longer be seen on the Galactic War Map and cannot be joined
Fixed an issue where uninvited friends could join Invite-Only games via the Social Menu
Invite-only lobbies are no longer shown in the hologram

Crashes & Soft Locks:
Fixed a crash on Difficulty 1 (Trivial) when approaching certain bug holes
Fixed a potential soft-lock when abandoning the mission with the squad while fighting bugs
Fixed Geological Survey mission soft-locking when players joined/left the mission
Fixed a soft-lock that could occur if you hot-joined a game in mission summary and all peers left
Fixed a rare crash while browsing the Armory or the Warbond store
Fixed a crash that could happen when fog was destroyed
Fixed a rare crash related to Flamethrowers and Gas weapons
Fixed a crash when repeatedly entering and leaving the tutorial
Fixed an issue where the Nuke Nursery could not be progressed if two players called down the drill at the same time
Resolved an issue where opening the menu while the Emote wheel was active would prevent players from moving
Fixed the Nuke Nursery terminals sometimes not being interactable

Helldiver Fixes:
Fixed an issue causing excessive ragdolling when diving or crawling on uneven terrain

We're currently working on further solutions to address the ragdolling issues.

Weapons & Stratagems:
Fixed stim pistol incorrectly affecting the STIMS USED statistic in the mission end screen
Fixed dead corpses setting off the rockets from the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher
Fixed an issue with the stratagem cooldown that allowed players to call down multiple resupplies or Hellbombs at the same time
Fixed an issue where switching to holding a grenade and picking up an artillery shell at the same time caused the artillery shell to become stuck in the Helldivers hands
The LAS-5 Scythe scope is now fully operational and can zoom in and out correctly
Empty expendable weapons cannot be picked up nor holstered anymore
The AR-23A Liberator Carbine now has the 0.5 sec shorter reload duration properly implemented, from 3 to 2.5 sec. It also has the correct magazine unit
Fixed a missing mesh for the P-11 Stim Pistol's syringes

The MG-43 Machine Gun now has the 0.5 sec shorter reload duration properly implemented

We mistakenly wrote that the MG-43 Machine Gun was lowered from 4 to 3.5 sec when in reality we lowered it from 5 to 4.5 sec.
Enemies:
Disabled the gas confusion effect on the Impaler due to odd behavior with its tentacles
Fixed an issue where the Impaler tentacles would sometimes not impact its target
Adjusted Shriekers pathing in tight spaces. They should now prefer to move around tall obstacles instead of trying to fly over them

Missions & Difficulties:
Fixed Nuke Nursery drills getting dropped on top of bug corpses
Lowered the amount of Retrieve Data objectives spawning on the mission for Automatons to match the amount that spawns for the Terminids
The Escape Pod objective will now appear on difficulties 1-2 instead of 2-3
The Terminid eggs on Purge Hatcheries objectives are now tagged as objectives with correct VO and icons
Fixed an issue with Hellpods landing deep underground on edges of Bug Nurseries during the 'Nuke Nurseries' missions

Social Issues & Galactic War Map:
Resolved an issue in the Blocked Players tab where attempting to add a player via the search functionality would incorrectly indicate that the user was blocked
Can no longer join blocked players via the Galactic War hologram
Resolved an issue that allowed blocked players to continue speaking in voice chat
Fixed Emote, Drop and Comms wheel mouse sensitivity not being applied
PC players can now use left click to select radial menu options in the Emote and Comms radial menus
Resolved an issue where the maximum number of friends displayed in the social panel was limited to 100
Fixed an issue that was preventing the friend request widget from popping up
Fixed the display of sender names for session invitations that were not showing properly when multiple invites were received at the same time
Emotes can no longer be triggered while airborne, ragdolling or sliding. We are monitoring this change and appreciate your feedback for it!

Fixed Helldiver character customizations resetting after closing the game

Thanks for your support!

We’ll see you in Solisium.

HP Reverb G2?
This used to work fine for me, now the binocular image is skewed (right and left eye images are seem to be rendered at different angles/perspectives), so everything looks distorted. Anyone else have this problem? If so, I'll have more leverage to prod Sansar to look into my existing ticket.

Game freezing entire PC after update
My game never used to do this, even running on VR. Now it freezes my entire PC whether I am using SteamVR or desktop. It freezes my PC after around 5 minutes of playtime. I have done the known "fixes" like verifying integrity, and reinstalling, etc. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so, what is the cure?
