Arrowhead / Sony

Arrowhead pushed out another Helldivers 2 update on September 24, 2024, fixing a whole bunch of bugs and crashes present in the co-op shooter since the latest major balance update and the Chemical Agents Warbond release.

Crucially, patch 1.001.102 fixed some crashes that could occur when players simply reloaded their weapons or opened their chat during a mission – obviously, both actions happen quite a lot while playing, so those are important corrections. A variety of smaller bug fixes is included in the update as well, such as the fix of a glitch that appeared when a Helldiver quickly picked up two weapons of the same type and affected their arms.

Miscellaneous fixes

• The SH-32 Shield Generator Pack now properly transfers knockback to the wielder."

• Fixed the Expert Exterminator title being incorrectly available to some players.

• Fix backpack being hidden while in the HMG Emplacement.
• Resolved an issue where PS5 players became unjoinable after their console returned from rest mode.
