Arrowhead Game Studios released patch 01.001.003 for Helldivers 2 this morning. The overview list primarily fixes for performance, bugs, and crashes. It also includes a list of known issues, which personally, I find to be a very nice addition to the patch messages. It lets players know what issues are known, and typically speaking that these issues are being worked on. I haven’t got the chance to play HD2 in quite some time, but they do certainly appear to be on their game when it comes to keeping things in good shape! You can take a peek at the official patch message on their Steam site, here.
