Helldivers 2 update 1.000.103 brings bug fixes, but leaves an issue unresolved

PLAYSTATION’s hugely successful extraction shooter, Helldivers 2, received its latest update today, March 20, 2024.

Helldivers 2, patch 1.000.103 brings some important bug fixes and balance adjustments, but leaves out an issue that still plagues many players.

Helldivers 2 update 1,000,103 fixes

One of the notable improvements in update 1.00.103 concerns the EXO-45 Patriot Exosuit, which no longer self-destructs when firing missiles while spinning.

This was a crucial mistake that made the recent Helldivers 2 strategy quite unreliable in combat.

The update also addresses the issue of enemy patrols spawning on top of players, making it impossible for them to avoid damage.

One issue that has been bothering some players and has yet to be resolved is crossplay friend requests.

Many PS5 players have reported that they cannot add friends who play on PC and vice versa, making it difficult to play together.

The developers are aware of this issue and have stated that fixing it is a top priority, so a fix should be included in one of the next updates.

Helldivers 2 update 1,000,103 balance changes

The balance changes in this update include adjustments to the spawn rate of Planetary Hazards during missions.

Meteor showers and volcanic activity have reduced, meaning they are now less likely to occur, and their characteristics have been adjusted to cause fewer problems.

Namely, the explosion radius and damage of meteor showers have been reduced, while the rock speed of volcanic activity has been slightly reduced.

The lighting on the planet Fenrir III has also been adjusted to improve visibility during meteor showers.

Finally, several fixes have been implemented to address various situations that can cause the game to crash, including PS5 booting issue.

Overall, this latest update should make the game more fun and reliable for players.
