One in every of Helldivers 2’s strongest stratagems is damaged. Really, to be extra correct, the stratagem is actively breaking Helldivers 2, and gamers are formally being warned to not use it till Arrowhead manages to repair it.
The Spear stratagem is certainly one of Helldivers 2’s beefiest weapons, which has made it a fairly standard loadout selection for so long as it’s been round. The rocket launcher, which must be referred to as down in the midst of a spherical, has a singular lock-on function and unleashes a fairly devastating blow, making it a routinely vital weapon on the best difficulties, the place extra closely armored enemies are inclined to pop up in abundance. Because it seems although, the very factor that makes the weapon so interesting can also be actually crashing gamers’ video games.
As reported by Gamesradar+, a participant took to the Helldivers Discord to complain that their recreation crashed whereas utilizing the Spear’s lock-on operate. One in every of Arrowhead’s neighborhood managers responded, saying that the group was conscious of comparable crashes occurring to different gamers and was trying into the matter. No additional updates have been offered since this morning.
As traditional, the neighborhood is oscillating between ire on the state of the Spear and humor as a coping mechanism. For probably the most half, posts within the Helldivers subreddit have been fairly tame although, which could actually be as a result of goodwill of the final huge patch to hit the sport. Helldivers 2 used to have frequent patches and fixes that appeared to resolve one problem and trigger a number of extra, which finally added up over the course of a number of months. Simply as gamers had been starting to really feel dejected and like they need to surrender on Helldivers 2, Arrowhead introduced it could take its time with the event of patches in order to attenuate the issues they’d trigger, and it labored.
In the meantime, PlayStation appeared to blow the whistle on a wholly totally different stratagem lately. In an electronic mail despatched out by Helldivers 2’s writer, the lately acquired airburst rocket launcher stratagem is mentioned in a section, in addition to the anti-tank mines that the neighborhood retains falling wanting getting. Nonetheless, the accompanying image on this part of the e-mail exhibits a wholly totally different weapon than both of these, and appears to be a tease at an upcoming stratagem for a multi-barrel rocket launcher.
Followers are already positing that the featured gun marks the return of a beloved weapon from the unique Helldivers, and buzz is already constructing for the foremost order that’ll reward gamers with it. I suppose I’d name this much less of a leak and extra of a strategic tease, and it looks like it’s completed the trick. If there’s one factor Helldivers 2 gamers love greater than taking out bugs, it’s a shiny new toy to kill bugs with.
