Arrowhead Game Studios has recently released the latest update for Helldivers 2, focusing primarily on rectifying significant issues within the game rather than introducing new content. 

A notable concern among players since the game's launch has been inconsistent weapon damage, particularly noticeable in cross-platform m​​​​​​​​atches where PC players were dealing significantly more damage than their console counterparts. Patch 01.000.203 addresses this disparity, ensuring uniform damage numbers across all platforms. 

Additionally, the update includes fixes for various crashing and bug issues. Below are the comprehensive patch notes for version 01.000.203 of Helldivers 2.

In addition to addressing the damage gap between console and PC players, patch 01.000.203 is reverting the incorrect perk listing for the CE-27 Ground Breaker armour, which was originally stated to have the Engineering Kit perk but actually had Servo-Assisted. 

The update also includes numerous bug fixes, primarily focused on resolving the frequent crashing issues that have occurred in recent weeks. Below is a list of crashes and other fixes made to this patch: 

  • Crashes in the loadout screen when players left or joined the game have been resolved.

  • Crashing when a host's play session migrates to another player has been fixed. 
  • Crashing due to excessive civilian spawning has been resolved. 
  • Various other crash scenarios during mission deployment and gameplay have been fixed. 
  • An issue causing different damage to enemies between PC and console players has been resolved. 
  • Red boxes in defence missions are no longer visible. 
  • Text display issues with major orders have been corrected.
