🔧 Fixes

🧠 Known Issues [Unchanged since patch 1.000.300]

These are issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed.

• Damage-over-time effects may only apply when dealt by the host. We expect to have this fixed in the next patch.
• Reinforcement may not be available for some players who join a game in progress.
• Helldiver may be unable to stand up from crouching when surrounded by enemies.
• Game may crash if the host leaves while dead and rejoins the same play session.
• Game may crash if the player changes the text language while on a mission.
• Various issues involving friend invites and cross-play:
• Friend Request cannot be accepted when the requesting player changed their username before the request was accepted.
• Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the Friend Requests tab.
• Players cannot unfriend players befriended via friend code.
• Players cannot unblock players that were not in their Friends list beforehand.
• Players may experience delays in Medals and Super Credits payouts.
• Enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions.
• Scopes on some weapons such as the Anti-Materiel Rifle are slightly misaligned.
• Arc weapons sometimes behave inconsistently and sometimes misfire.
• Spear’s targeting is inconsistent, making it hard to lock-on to larger enemies.
• Stratagem beam might attach itself to an enemy but it will deploy to its original location.
• Explosions do not break your limbs (except for when you fly into a rock).
• Area around Automaton Detector Tower makes blue stratagems such as the Hellbomb bounce and be repelled when trying to call them down close to the tower.
• Planet liberation reaches 100% at the end of every Defend mission.

Couldn't figure out now to cross post this from the games community

Just popped up in my feed. I loved Starship Troopers as a kid, not knowing the satire underneath. Anyways, it's a nice interview.

There is a new limited time mission on the Barrier Planets. Hope those that missed the original TCS missions see the result of Automaton sabotage.

Posting this in case it wasn't clear.

High Priority Broadcast from SEHC

OP. LEGITIMATE UNDERTAKING TERMINATED. EMERGENCY SITUATION IN TERMINID QUARANTINE ZONE.

Several weeks ago, the Helldivers activated the Terminid Control System on the Barrier Planets: Erata Prime, Fenrir III, Meridia, & Turing. Since then, the Termicide produced by the TCS has kept the Terminids at bay. However, the TCS is no longer functioning as intended: Terminid outbreaks have erupted on all Barrier Planets. The bugs are displaying resistance to Termicide, something our top scientists previously believed impossible.

The situation on Meridia is even worse. There, Terminid reproduction rates have exploded overnight, and continue to increase exponentially. The planet is already almost fully infested, having formed into a super-colony. While the exact mechanism for this hyper-reproductive adaptation is unknown, it appears to be linked to continued Termicide exposure. So far, this effect is limited to Meridia. It cannot be allowed to spread.

Operation Legitimate Undertaking has been placed on indefinite hiatus. Meridia is unsalvageable. The Helldivers are ordered to deactivate the Terminid Control System on the remaining Barrier Planets immediately before this catastrophe can spread beyond our control.

Adding comment from Wolfrasin for better visibility.

[Image Text] The Spread Democracy mission otherwise known as "raise the flag" can now be enjoyed on higher difficulties for maximum freedom spreading.

New Support Stratagem available in the Patriotic Administration Center category, the RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher.

Probably unlocks between Level 12 and 20.

Happened to anyone else?

After unlocking all (current) weapons and strats, sometimes it's just fun to kill bugs with Eruptor\Stalwart.
