A próxima atualização de Helldivers 2 já está disponível para PC (Steam) e PS5 trazendo mudanças consideráveis em diversos equipamentos do jogo e com algumas novidades. O patch 01.000.100 altera principalmente o loadout mais utilizado pelos jogadores em dificuldades mais altas e corrige erros e bugs pontuais no jogo.
A grande novidade da atualização é a adição de ameaças aleatórias que podem acontecer em cada missão dependendo do tipo de planeta. Tornados de fogo, chuva de meteoros e mais devem surgir em momento específicos alterando completamente o tom do campo de batalha.
A shotgun SG-225 Breaker teve seu carregador diminuído e o recuo aumentado. A railgun teve diminuição no poder de penetração e dano geral. O Escudo individual teve seu tempo de recarga aumentado. Esses três equipamentos eram considerados obrigatórios para missões no mais alto nível de dificuldade e foram ajustados agora para que, de acordo com o designer Alex K, “não continuassem sendo fortes demais e quase sem penalidades enquanto eliminava outras opções de equipamentos em dificuldades mais altas”.
Apesar disso, diversas armas receberam melhorias para serem mais efetivas, como lança-chamas, laser cannon, a shotgun punisher e mais. Diversos outras estratégias foram ajustadas para se adequar melhor a sua função, como as saraivadas de 120mm e 380mm que agora duram mais e teve seu espalhamento diminuído.
Várias correções foram implementas e alguns sistemas que não funcionavam direito devem estar perfeitamente ativos agora, como a mitigação de dano pelo tipo de armadura que antes praticamente não acontecia. Alguns outros bugs e erros ainda estão presentes e o estúdio já trabalha para eliminá-los no futuro.
Mais abaixo é possível conferir a lista completa com os patch notes (via Steam).
Paralelo a isso, surgiram rumores que a Arrowhead Game Studios teria sido adquirida pela Sony. O CEO do estúdio negou a aquisição.
This is fake… Unless I've missed something
Also, a really shitty old logo from 2008 or so when we just started the studio.
