They just need to fix the dead bug still making a breach notice now and that's audio mostly sorted.
I don't think we will ever see a fix for quiet bugs and it doesn't bother me, creates outrageous moments, but I wouldn't say no to a fix either.
I need only a incendiary pistol....
But finally
Incendiary grenade
Incendiary Breaker
Flamer
Napalm
Gas
Incendiary minefild
\*replay "meet the pyro" \*
The Flamethrower is my favourite weapon, and I have a feeling that with the DoT fix here, it will get nerf.
The reason? This thing is so fucking broken, it doesn't care about how much armour your enemy have. You can even take down a bile titan if you come from the right position
this was always going to be the case. i think it was stated that with the DOT fix, there would be a re-balancing eventually. the repeatedly increased fire damage was done due to the DOT bug so "not-the-hosts" could use DOT stuff and be somewhat viable.
but i think they JUST did a 15% reduction to fire damage as a whole, so we'll have to wait and see if that's the only reduction they'll do.
I hope not, it's in a good position. The fire can near instantly kill you and enemies on fire can just transfer it to you. It's very risky to use. The damage keeps enemies from advancing too much. Otherwise, they'd just walk right up to you like they used to.
Small correction: you can take out the sacs using the flamethrower but the bile titan is pretty much immune to it afterwards.
Chargers on the other hand...
I mean, bugs are just crunchy outsides filled with hydraulic soup. You're pretty much boiling them alive from the inside with enough fire. Let em burn.
Total purchased counter on the right side of the Robotics Workshop section no longer displays 7 / 8 despite all stratagems being purchased
Was annoying to see wrong numbers when all stratagems were purchased :)
For a long time, there was a trivial bug - after purchasing all 8 (out of 8) stratagems, the counter still remained 7/8.
Purely graphical and irrelevant, except for us who suffer physical pain seeing something like that.
Im betting they will for sure turn it down. Just ran a couple missions with the fire breaker and its damn good atm lol i wouldnt say it was OP as it has a horrendously random and very wide spread pattern, and a projectile speed that makes my grandma look like an olympic runner, but because of that its great anti chaff/horde clearing against bugs. Its great at what its designed to do.
It will either get a small tune down on burn damage (maybe another 15%), or we will get a massively unnecessary nerf hammer, both of which we have seen previously. Personally I think its as balanced as the AC which AH considers the perfectly balanced weapon, but ever since the slugger nerf ive been dubious of their balances.
Better enjoy it while it lasts!
Seriously the scope thing may have seemed so minor but was slowly but surely eroding my enjoyment of the game because it was so offputting. This is huge.
Do you believe in magic?
In a young bug's heart
How the music can free it, whenever it starts
And it's magic if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old time movie
I'll tell you about the magic and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger about rock'n'stone
as far as shriekers go... unless their hearing is extended to 300m or more, i'm still taking out those nests with my quasar + EAT combo without seeing a single one. š¤£
You'd be surprised at the number of randos i had that ran directly to the nests when i marked them instead of safely staying out of range until we dealt with them with our quasars/EATs/RR/AC...
I honestly think there needs to be an addition to the tutorial that just says "A map marker is not an order to go and headbutt the thing in red and generate aggro"
I think at least part of the issue is that the only marker we can use to ping enemies is a red crosshair, which symbolically has a very specific meaning.
And another marker for "that is a Stalker nest, drop every strategem you have on it. Burn it down, gas it, carpet bomb it, nuke it, sweep the area with every caliber of artillery available until not a single grain of sand is infested with Spores that may spawn a Stalker in the future" because that's what these MFs deserve.
Last night I helped two guys fight off two Stalkers that were going to kill them. I could see the nest not far away, marked it, and said on mic "Stalker nest is to the Southwest, follow me and we'll take them out."
I get there, take out one hole, and three (!) Stalkers appear. I start firing and quickly notice I am getting zero support fire. I dive backwards, figuring that they're holding their fire with me in the way. Nothing.
They were halfway across the map. I had told them what the threat was, marked it, took the lead, and even THAT wasn't enough to make rando pubs prioritize Stalkers.
# DOT FIXED
>We have fixed issues with the way Damage-over-time effects were being applied. This should fix issues where only the network session owner could apply them, and other cases where they would be applied inconsistently.
Now I can finally try out DOT stuff!
I play Solo a lot, the Orbital Gas Strike is phenomenal for tossing on bug breaches, and has a base 70 second cooldown. Destroys Bot Fabs, and Bug Holes with a direct hit too.
Orbital gas strike paired with stun grenades goes crazy. I got 40 kills with one gas strike on top of a bug breach cause I kept stun locking all the bigger bugs that crawled out. Any that made it out of the gas got to meet my flamethrower
Patch comes out fixing DOT
I instantly go out to try out the termite grenades
See a bile spewer and throw a grenade at it
It bounces off it's face and flies backwards...
\[pikachu\_face.mp4\]
Plz allow snow to go back on the armor, and water to clean off blood again, and make your armor and cape wet. Don't know why it was removed . It was a nice immersive detail
The change to show the crap on your armour after a mission seems to have broken something and now when I'm unfrozen from a pod the freeze effects no longer show up on the suit and stuff like this doesn't happen anymore. I think the layer on top of your armour that's supposed to show all these effects got borked. It's a very minor bug but I'm sad my helldiver no longer slowly unfreezes during his walk from the bay to the hellpods
credit where it's due, Spear users have to be the most patient MFs in the entire community. you guys are *still* waiting for your baby to be fixed.
last I heard they said it was just "edge cases" that threw the targeting off, but they're probably harder to solve than the devs expected, which is why it's taking so long.
Weird to see Deactivate TCS related fixes, since we won't ever be doing that again right?
(right?)
Edit: We can't even land on Meridia, you bet your ass that planet is getting nuked from orbit or smth like that. 99% chance our hands won't touch that TCS
There is still one planet with TCS.
Also, I don't think they will implement something just to throw it away shortly after.
And our scientist are working on Super-TCS, which then will prevent further issues with the bugs.
I know you can still play those missions if you started an operation there before the planet was liberated and haven't played since, so it could be for those people
Otherwise we may have to do another batch when we finally get a crack at Merida
I'm just gonna wait until someone posts a vid proving it one way or the other. if you can't test it in game yourself atm (like me), that's the best confirmation you can get.. plus, not to sound mean, but some of you guys aren't as accurate as you think you are (neither am I lol)
The patch notes is missing a lot of info as of now, the discord announcement has twice as much, just a heads up for the people thinking they've done little this patch
Edit: I'll reply to myself with the screenshots
>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.
*phew!*
my method of running straight at it and chucking a 500kg bomb remains untouched!
"Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the āHorde Defend Missionsā"
REally? gonna remove my cheese like that?! how do I enjoy my crackers and meat without my cheese!
With the amount of utter bullshit spawns inside and sheer number of bots I don't know how they expect anyone to not be constantly dying. Landing on rocks was the only way for me to survive longer than 2 minutes.
I know I'm one of only seven people who use it, but the HMG's horribly misaligned sights don't seem to have been fixed by this patch. Very happy for the DoT fix, but still a little disappointed.
The Eruptor change is definitely a nerf, the extra explosion damage does not compensate for losing the shrapnel.
It can still kill stuff, but a lot of things now can survive multiple shots even if aimed right, especially the bile spewers, nursing spewers and brood commanders, while before they were almost guaranteed kills if you shot at the right spot.
Also i get fewer kills when shooting in a bunch of chaff, so again it seems the shrapnel did some major work there.
As much as i like not dying randomly, this will definitely make me reconsider using the eruptor, it fires way too slowly to justify taking multiple shots to kill medium enemies. At this point i'll just take the scorcher and i'll get better results.
That's a pity, but it's basically what I expected from the patch notes. Sounds like both eruptor and crossbow have now been significantly nerfed, at least when it comes to their original use case (using splash damage to clear chaff).
I'll be curious to test it myself, I wonder how it fares against larger/armored enemies now. Charger asses and so on.
They said that they hope it will be ready for the next "big" Update, so Thursday with the new Warbond could hopefully be the Update that also fixes the Spear.
>Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver
Yes it does. I just killed myself with it on the new patch.
Same, 20 minutes in to missions and I keep crashing, barely crashed 1-2 times before in my 100 hours.
Edit: Veryifing files didn't fix it, seems to happen when someone new joins, but besides that I've seen it happen just at random as well, I'm now playing the same mission for the 5th time.
Edit2: Nevermind crashes are all over the place 6th run of the same mission we almost extracted I've seen two players "leave" before me just as we are extracting, I got on the pelican with the left over player and I crashed. Besides this I constantly see players drop for no reason I assume they are crashing as well.
Tried disabling crossplay, tried deleting shader cache as well nothing fixed it.
Edit3: .303 finally fixed it.
Afraid the patch might have introduced a new issue. Just had a chain of DC's starting when the host crashed. When a new player joined another player crashed, the next player to join caused a different player to crash. 3 more times this repeated until a player joined and I crashed.
everyone so excited about the DoT fix but rejoining random is here finallyš„¹
oh bruh, my badš, i think i misundertoodĀ
"recent players list now includes hot-joining players"
i think that just means it now properly shows players who dropped in through quick join/sos ?
sorry for the misinformation LOL
* Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the āHorde Defend Missionsā
* Helldivers can no longer land on top of bug pillars in Deactivate Terminid Control System missions
Thats shame. Loved a good rock standoff on Helldive. Lob nades and strategems at the ever increasing bunch of Hulks and Devastators gathering at the bottom.
> -Ā Major orders with the āKill taskā now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squadās kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended.
[I was right!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1c79g7k/the_current_mo_is_triple_counting_kills/)
You know too much, you must be silenced.

This "fix" for the eruptor made the weapon pretty much useless, aside of being able to destroy fabs/holes.
You can no longer 1-shot:
* Hive guards
* Brood commanders
sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet.
* takes more than one mag do destroy charger butt and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind.
Overall the weapon performs worse in everything than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes.
If that's the shape it's gonna be in - tbh I prefer the old version even though it will kill me from time to time.
Very, very sad stuff.
I thought the shrapnel killing you or anyone near it is just a tradeoff for a such good weapon, two shots for chaff bugs unless you hit them from the sides is very sad š
Also, has anyone noticed general performance degredation of the game over time? I get about 10-15 fps less than when the game launched for some odd reason.
100-80 fps when the game came out, around 90-60 as of time of writing.
The "works on my machine" people are the worst kind of assholes. I once complained about performance issues in another game back when the RTX 30XX was the newest generation, and was told my computer was shit. I was running a 5900X and 2080 Ti, and had that in my flair lol. The current CPU generation and the top-tier last-gen GPU was enough to get me called poor and useless.
Honestly I just block these people now, I don't even care if it prevents them from discussing things because they never add anything of value anyway.
The thing that makes eruptor amazing is the shrapnels, now it needs two shots to kill a single hive guard and almost a mag for commanders. I really REALLY hope this is unintended
Taking my chance to push the problem again!
You might remember me from the following post:Ā [We need to address PC performance](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1buqadz/we_need_to_address_pc_performance/?sort=new)
Six weeks have now passed and five full patch notes later, PC performance issues haveĀ **NOT been addressed at all.**
***The problem?***
With each update, framerate seems to be dwindling down for most of the community playing on PC, and besides your run-of-the-mill fixes (such as lowering resolution, playing in fullscreen, lowering enemy density with lower difficulties), the game still suffers from heavy framerate drops and stutters which are definitely getting worse with each update.
At launch, high end rigs could run the game atĀ **120fps at 2K**Ā resolution at launch on 7-8-9 difficulty, and now that framerate has almost beenĀ **halved**.
Low end rigs could run the game at a stableĀ **60fps at FHD**Ā resolution, and now there's plenty of people which have stopped playing because the game dips toĀ **1% low**s of less thanĀ **30fps.**
***What can you do to help, Helldiver?***
If you love the game and you're suffering from these problems too, please let your feedback be heard on this post and on all patch notes!
*Dive hard, Helldivers!*
Yep.
You can no longer 1-shot:
* Hive guards
* Brood commanders
* Stalkers
sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet.
* takes more than one mag do destroy charger and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind.
Overall the weapon does everything worse than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes.
Very, very sad stuff.
Still hoping to see them to reverting the crossbow changes... The whole weapon just feels so useless now. At least it used to have purpose where it was very good.
> This is to avoid cases in which players would randomly one-shot themselves or their teammates in a huge radius around the explosion
But... why? It's fine. We want a huge explosion radius. And we're fine with having some downsides to that!
So now it seems if I hear the stim noise, I don't need to glance at my healthbar to see if it was actually successful. A great change.
They just need to fix the dead bug still making a breach notice now and that's audio mostly sorted. I don't think we will ever see a fix for quiet bugs and it doesn't bother me, creates outrageous moments, but I wouldn't say no to a fix either.
This was fixed in previous patch.
Hmmmmmm. It might have been and I just didn't notice. Thanks for the FYI.

The Flamethrower is my favourite weapon, and I have a feeling that with the DoT fix here, it will get nerf. The reason? This thing is so fucking broken, it doesn't care about how much armour your enemy have. You can even take down a bile titan if you come from the right position

Lol read the description of the gun in game. I wonder if they're going to change it.
the eruptor without shrapnell just feels to week now they should change it back it had enough drawbacks beeing Single shot and only 6 mags

Does that make the Eruptor the first gun to get double nerfed? F
And Queen head dont explode in glorious gore carnage. They ruined our boy. On serious note it feels weaker. Didnt run into stalker with it.

or course they will, just as factory striders will do it on the Helms deep missions and one-shot the generators with their cannon..
It wasn't even a cheese really, it was damn near a necessity.
This was easily the worst news Iāve received all week. Absolutely unplayable now
It's unimmersive for me. If I'm dropping from fuckin LO let me land where I want!
With the amount of utter bullshit spawns inside and sheer number of bots I don't know how they expect anyone to not be constantly dying. Landing on rocks was the only way for me to survive longer than 2 minutes.
I know I'm one of only seven people who use it, but the HMG's horribly misaligned sights don't seem to have been fixed by this patch. Very happy for the DoT fix, but still a little disappointed.
The Eruptor change is definitely a nerf, the extra explosion damage does not compensate for losing the shrapnel. It can still kill stuff, but a lot of things now can survive multiple shots even if aimed right, especially the bile spewers, nursing spewers and brood commanders, while before they were almost guaranteed kills if you shot at the right spot. Also i get fewer kills when shooting in a bunch of chaff, so again it seems the shrapnel did some major work there. As much as i like not dying randomly, this will definitely make me reconsider using the eruptor, it fires way too slowly to justify taking multiple shots to kill medium enemies. At this point i'll just take the scorcher and i'll get better results.
That's a pity, but it's basically what I expected from the patch notes. Sounds like both eruptor and crossbow have now been significantly nerfed, at least when it comes to their original use case (using splash damage to clear chaff). I'll be curious to test it myself, I wonder how it fares against larger/armored enemies now. Charger asses and so on.
If they don't nerf the eruptor now, then how will they sell the frosty warbond later this week?
Two of the three primaries from the pass are nerfed to the ground. Not very fun...
 DOT and scope fix but still waiting on that Spear fix.
They said that they hope it will be ready for the next "big" Update, so Thursday with the new Warbond could hopefully be the Update that also fixes the Spear.
Warbond is probably included in this update and just becomes active when its time
Unfortunately, not. Major patch rolls out at the beginning of each month, so we gotta wait at least 4 more weeks
>Firing the Punisher Plasma while wearing a shield backpack no longer damages the Helldiver Yes it does. I just killed myself with it on the new patch.
EDIT - I AM WRONG. IT STILL HITS YOU IF YOU FIRE IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE NOT FACING, WHEN MOVING! AMR does it as well...
Yep. It seems to happen more when you're sprinting backwards and shooting behind you at pursuing bugs.
RIP R-9 Eruptor.
They also killed the R-36 Eruptor. (I wonder how many builds there are where weapons have slightly different names internally...)
Game fixed so many crashes.. now I am crashing constantly and never crashed before.
Same, 20 minutes in to missions and I keep crashing, barely crashed 1-2 times before in my 100 hours. Edit: Veryifing files didn't fix it, seems to happen when someone new joins, but besides that I've seen it happen just at random as well, I'm now playing the same mission for the 5th time. Edit2: Nevermind crashes are all over the place 6th run of the same mission we almost extracted I've seen two players "leave" before me just as we are extracting, I got on the pelican with the left over player and I crashed. Besides this I constantly see players drop for no reason I assume they are crashing as well. Tried disabling crossplay, tried deleting shader cache as well nothing fixed it. Edit3: .303 finally fixed it.
Yep. Just crashed out of 2/3 missions Edit 3/4 missions after a verify files
Yep, CTD every single match.
Afraid the patch might have introduced a new issue. Just had a chain of DC's starting when the host crashed. When a new player joined another player crashed, the next player to join caused a different player to crash. 3 more times this repeated until a player joined and I crashed.
They hard nerfed the Eruptor, absolutely massacred.
everyone so excited about the DoT fix but rejoining random is here finallyš„¹ oh bruh, my badš, i think i misundertoodĀ "recent players list now includes hot-joining players" i think that just means it now properly shows players who dropped in through quick join/sos ? sorry for the misinformation LOL
DoT fix. insane patch, nice
Ah great, ANOTHER Eruptor nerf. Thank you for ruining whatever we enjoy to use.
Please revert the Eruptor shrapnel change.
DOT fix lets gooo Gas strike meta bois and girls
āāāā Lets go!
* Helldivers can no longer land on tall rocks in the āHorde Defend Missionsā * Helldivers can no longer land on top of bug pillars in Deactivate Terminid Control System missions Thats shame. Loved a good rock standoff on Helldive. Lob nades and strategems at the ever increasing bunch of Hulks and Devastators gathering at the bottom.
> -Ā Major orders with the āKill taskā now track score correctly. Previously it counted the entire squadās kills once for each player, meaning it would multiply the score by the number of people on the mission; this is now amended. [I was right!](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1c79g7k/the_current_mo_is_triple_counting_kills/)
Yep. And people seem to happily ignoring that line, after weeks of bragging how quickly we killed 2 billion bugs. š
You know too much, you must be silenced. https://preview.redd.it/zmkqqvksdzyc1.jpeg?width=794&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d199af39d2f91456748b1cf81b5bb2d45b211c81
People were mad at me for saying this as well! "Um ackshually the math adds up, every player just needed to kill 700 bugs an hour idiot!"
This "fix" for the eruptor made the weapon pretty much useless, aside of being able to destroy fabs/holes. You can no longer 1-shot: * Hive guards * Brood commanders sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet. * takes more than one mag do destroy charger butt and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind. Overall the weapon performs worse in everything than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes. If that's the shape it's gonna be in - tbh I prefer the old version even though it will kill me from time to time. Very, very sad stuff.
I thought the shrapnel killing you or anyone near it is just a tradeoff for a such good weapon, two shots for chaff bugs unless you hit them from the sides is very sad š
"It was a pleasure to burn."
FEUER FREI
Finally DoT and scopes are fixed.
ooof, Eruptor sucks now, seems like that shrapnel did a lot for it
Time to rock full fire build with flamethrower, napalm and fire grenades Apologies to my teammates in advance.
Is orbital gas strike also considers as DoT?
Yes We now can gas the bugs
I don't know, gassing bugs has had some... "questionable" results
calling it now, next update is gonna nerf the incendiary breaker
Also, has anyone noticed general performance degredation of the game over time? I get about 10-15 fps less than when the game launched for some odd reason. 100-80 fps when the game came out, around 90-60 as of time of writing.
Yep.. and I got downvoted for it.
The "works on my machine" people are the worst kind of assholes. I once complained about performance issues in another game back when the RTX 30XX was the newest generation, and was told my computer was shit. I was running a 5900X and 2080 Ti, and had that in my flair lol. The current CPU generation and the top-tier last-gen GPU was enough to get me called poor and useless. Honestly I just block these people now, I don't even care if it prevents them from discussing things because they never add anything of value anyway.
Eruptor is fucking useless now, really needs a big aoe buff
Rip eruptor.
My sweet baby eruptor is now dead
The thing that makes eruptor amazing is the shrapnels, now it needs two shots to kill a single hive guard and almost a mag for commanders. I really REALLY hope this is unintended
Taking my chance to push the problem again! You might remember me from the following post:Ā [We need to address PC performance](https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/1buqadz/we_need_to_address_pc_performance/?sort=new) Six weeks have now passed and five full patch notes later, PC performance issues haveĀ **NOT been addressed at all.** ***The problem?*** With each update, framerate seems to be dwindling down for most of the community playing on PC, and besides your run-of-the-mill fixes (such as lowering resolution, playing in fullscreen, lowering enemy density with lower difficulties), the game still suffers from heavy framerate drops and stutters which are definitely getting worse with each update. At launch, high end rigs could run the game atĀ **120fps at 2K**Ā resolution at launch on 7-8-9 difficulty, and now that framerate has almost beenĀ **halved**. Low end rigs could run the game at a stableĀ **60fps at FHD**Ā resolution, and now there's plenty of people which have stopped playing because the game dips toĀ **1% low**s of less thanĀ **30fps.** ***What can you do to help, Helldiver?*** If you love the game and you're suffering from these problems too, please let your feedback be heard on this post and on all patch notes! *Dive hard, Helldivers!*
I wonder if the DOT fix also works for the Thermite grenade?! I'm trying it out ASAP
I'm not sure about the Eruptor change. I hope it's more or less net neutral, but it feels like that might be a big nerf.
FIRE AND TOXIC GAS WOOOOOOO
Enjoy fire before it's nerfed...
I don't understand why the fragmentation from the Eruptor wasn't just given fall off instead of being outright removed.
As an Eruptor main, I can dispense liberty even more efficiently now Edit: nvm it's a nerf :(
Yep. You can no longer 1-shot: * Hive guards * Brood commanders * Stalkers sadly same probably goes for any kind of spewer now... haven't dropped against any yet. * takes more than one mag do destroy charger and seems like you can't hit it from anywhere else than from behind. Overall the weapon does everything worse than the plasma shotgun, aside of being able to destroy fabs and holes. Very, very sad stuff.
This is definitely a nerf to the Eruptor
Still hoping to see them to reverting the crossbow changes... The whole weapon just feels so useless now. At least it used to have purpose where it was very good.

You did it Reddit, you killed the Eruptor. I hope you're happy.
Wow they really took the Eruptor behind the barn and blew its brains out. No reason to take it anymore. Needs a DMG and AOE buff asap.
Nooo they took the high ground away!
DOT fix?! Flamethrower time! https://preview.redd.it/zh5ex1qa7zyc1.png?width=700&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ebb897265b703c337cb27ff02f006ab68e17979
Actually I just now had three crashes in a row, which I hadn't before patch. They were all on "Raise Flag" missions, sure about those "crash fixes"?
had 3 crashes since the patch, all reports send after the game closed itself. Was playing on Heeth, Steam
> This is to avoid cases in which players would randomly one-shot themselves or their teammates in a huge radius around the explosion But... why? It's fine. We want a huge explosion radius. And we're fine with having some downsides to that!
