Ongoing Crashing Issues
The previous patch for Helldivers 2 aimed to fix crashing issues, shield problems, and weapon bugs. However, players are still experiencing crashes, even after the developers stated that the issue had been resolved. The crashing problem persists and seems to occur when changing settings or purchasing items in the game. It’s frustrating for players who were hoping for a smoother gameplay experience.
Problematic Ballistic Shield Mechanics
The ballistic shield in Helldivers 2 is causing multiple issues that significantly impact gameplay. Players are unable to collide with their own shield when knocked back, leaving them vulnerable to attacks. Equipping the shield can cause the character to constantly look in the wrong direction, making it difficult to block attacks effectively. The shield can also push players out of the map, leaving them in a ragdoll state for several seconds. Additionally, aiming with a pistol while the shield is equipped can mess up the aim down sights (ADS) functionality.
Leaked Intel PDA Mechanics
The leaked Intel PDA reveals new mechanics that add depth to the gameplay experience. Players will be able to find Intel packages on the map or in bunkers, which can be extracted for requisition points. These Intel packages increase mission pay and can unlock special missions. However, picking up compromised Intel packages will notify enemies of the player’s whereabouts, leading to encounters. Retrieving Intel triggers an enemy response, but extracting with Intel can unlock special missions that nullify the negative effects caused by the Intel.
Potential New Biome and Super Colony
The companion app for Helldivers 2 shows changes to the planets, hinting at a new jungle biome. While the release date for the new biome is unknown, players can anticipate its arrival after the next major update. The Intel report also suggests the possibility of a Super Colony forming on one of the planets, leading to speculation about the appearance of the hive Lord. This new information adds excitement and anticipation for future updates.
