Helldivers 2 gets its first rebalance patch

Front Changes

The Defence Campaign on Angel's Venture was successful and but there was a flare up of Terminid activity in Veld. Super Earth High Command commends the efforts of the local Helldivers in acting quickly to prevent the tyrannical Terminds from re-establishing a strong presence on Veld.

The socialist Automatons continue to push into Ustotu, a planet inhabited by freedom loving civilians. Super Earth High Command has issued a Defence Campaign in Ustotu to stop the oppressive bots.

Fuck. Yes!

Front Changes

The Helldivers successfully establish liberty in Mantes, allowing access to Malevelon Creek and Draupnir

Helldivers had spread justice in Fenrir III but the tyrannical Terminids had deviously hidden a pocket of spores leading to a surprise outbreak on the planet. In the confusion, the cowardly bug hive mind inserted spores in the recently freed planet of Angel's Venture.

Front Changes

The socialist Automatons undermined our defence campaign in Mantes. Super Earth High Command is calling all Helldivers to take back Mantes from the oppressive bots. With Mantes not fully liberated, our efforts in Malevelon Creek and Draupnir were put on hold.

I'm only level 5 so I only have a few weapons/stratagems unlocked but I'm interested to hear what everyone finds the most fun.

Front Changes

The Helldivers have successfully brought managed democracy to Ingmar and Pöpli IX. Job will done bring bring Liberty to these planets.

The vile socialist Automatons, in their endless pursue to stomp out freedom, have started to attack Mantes. This threatens the Liberation Campaign in Malevelon Creek. Attention all Helldivers, do not let Malevelon Creek go unsupported and defend Mantes.

Terminid spores have been eradicated in Heeth and Angel’s Venture. All Helldivers are to remain on stand by while we find any remaining spores on these planets.

There was a bug spore on Cirrus but the Helldivers were able to quickly respond and restore managed democracy.

The tyrannical Terminid have started to become active on Meridia.

The Terminids are taking back Orion. Our liberation percentage on Cirrus has dropped from 100% to 87% in just the past few hours. Defend our Freedom!

Super Earth High Command Message RE: Veld - Major Order / Success

Well done, Helldivers. SEAF Containment Teams will take over cleanup and inoculation operations from here. Colonist have been advised that there is absolutely zero threat of further Terminid violence, and to settle their families with total piece of mind.

Additionally, pilots allocated to spore clearance on Veld have now been redirected to Helldiver support operations.

Super Earth High Command Message RE: Major Order / Briefing

Terminid spores have engulfed Heeth and Angel's Venture, spawning hordes of Terminids that overwhelmed our colonial militias. Clearly, the bug hive instinct oriented their mindless expansion toward dishonouring the memory of those who fought to free these planets.

Your fellow Helldivers paid for these lands with their lives. We cannot lose them now. Hold the planets until SEAF reinforcements arrive.

Front Changes

Hellmire access has been lost due to the tyrannical Terminids in Fenrir III.

The bugs have spread to Turing. They must be stopped.

Arrowhead has been curating the game with a Game Master named Joel. Everyone thank Joel for giving our missions that human touch.

Front Changes

The Helldivers successfully rallied to deliver freedom to Mantes which allowed access back to Automaton enslaved planets Malevelon Creek and Draupnir.

Excerpt from the recent "Missive to all citizens" from the Office of the President of Super Earth:

[TO BE READ ALOUD UPON RECEIPT]

Good evening. For the past 48 hours, we have all watched anxiously as the defense of Mort raged on. Tonight, I can report to the Citizens of Super Earth that Mort stands free [SUGGESTION: CHEER].

This victory is squarely thanks to the heroism of the Helldivers [SUGGESTION: CHEER], whose acts of valor and sacrifice in Mort's deliverance were extraordinary and innumerable. The defense was determined by the thinnest of margins, and every single Hellpod made the difference. The final stand of the Helldivers on Mort was an act of patriotism greater than any I have ever seen.

This victory was not without cost. Over 10 million of our most elite heroes were tragically lost [SUGGESTION: WAIL], and I know I speak for all citizens when I express my deepest gratitude for their sacrifice.

This defense does not mark the end of our fight against the Automatons [SUGGESTION: CURSE THEIR NAME]. Even now, the tireless Helldivers battle to save Ingmar and to free numerous other planets. I call upon every citizen to take their cue from our greatest heroes, and redouble their efforts on the factory line and at the donation center, to do their part in defense of Managed Democracy.

Thank you. May Liberty guide you, and may Liberty guide the Federation of Super Earth. [SUGGESTION: REPEAT ALOUD "MAY LIBERTY GUIDE THE FEDERATION OF SUPER EARTH"].

[END OF REMARKS]

So I've been defending democracy quite a bit - currently level 22.

In the past week or so, I've noticed a spawn rate bug that seems to happen randomly - enemies just spawn forever.

I've seen this happen for the bots and bugs, on both challenging and hard. Just randomly out on the map you'll encounter a patrol, then suddenly you're entirely surrounded.

Using stratagems constantly, getting 30+ kills each one you throw, and still the enemies never stop coming.

No, this is not a bot drop/breach, it's constant patrols spawning right on top of your group. On some areas the bots do hop off a ship, but as soon as the first ship leaves another comes to take its place. Talking 4 or 5 hulks/chargers at a time spawning within a minute. Destroying the ship just makes the next one come faster.

Once it happened midway through a mission and one of my squadmates got kicked - the spawns instantly slowed and the remaining 3 of us were able to stop them from spawning not 60 seconds later. Squadmates joined back and we were back to normal. I know this is a one-off as the missions prior to/after this one were no problem.

Anyone else have something similar happen?
