Arrowhead Game Studios released Patch 01.002.002 for Helldivers 2 earlier this morning. It was announced via their Discord, and I also noted mention of it on their Steam site. You can take a gander at the official patch message on their Steam site, here. It looks to address some interesting bugs and currently known issues introduced by either this patch and/or issues from the previous patch. Unfortunately, some of those issues are still being worked on. Tread lightly! For Democracy!
