If you've been joining the fight against the Automatons in recent weeks, then you may have run into various crashing issues. A recent Helldivers 2 patch, which fixed crashes when players use Arc weapons, introduced a new random crash issue. Fortunately, a fix is on the way. 

In an update on the game's very active Discord server, community manager, Twinbeard, acknowledged the crashing issues, confirming that a hotfix is on the way to address this, particularly focusing on crashes that occur during extraction or towards the end of a mission.

There is no exact timeframe for this hotfix but it is expected to drop before the new Warbond, which becomes available to players this Thursday. The new warbond focuses more on explosive weapons, giving players an unlock path to a grenade-launching pistol, an explosive crossbow and other gear.

There will be a lot of eyes on Helldivers 2 this week, as last week's major order saw the player base at large wiping out the Automaton threat. Now, we're all eagerly awaiting new orders as the war continues.

KitGuru Says: Helldivers 2 crashes have been occurring for me more regularly over the past couple of weeks compared to when I was playing around launch. It is always unfortunate to be booted from the game in the middle of an intense battle, or worse, during the extraction period, which can cost the whole squad requisition points if someone doesn't make it back into the game in time. Hopefully this hotfix can bring stability back to the game for those who are affected.
