Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.200 Patch Notes
Anew update, around the 1.5G mark on PC (sorry PlayStation folks, I’m not sure how big it is for you), has brought some changes toHelldivers 2. This comes after one hell of a weekend, during which we spent a lot of time going toe to toe with the bots and finally, after weeks of brutal fighting,took Malevelon Creek. Now that this harrowing section of the war is over, it is time to roll on to our next challenge, which will be how to stop seeing glowing red eyes every time I try to sleep.
The good news is that this update solves a couple of problems that Bugdivers have been dealing with, mainly the incredibly damaging puke attacks from Bile Spewers and Nursing Spewers. These guys could take you out with ease, but the damage has been dialed back a little. This comes on top of improved medium and heavy armor performance, so we should be in a good position for our next push against those pesky Terminids.
Of major interest, the level cap has now been pushed from 50 to 150. I don’t know what new ranks come with that yet, as I am busy typing this article instead of getting stuck into the war with my battle brothers and sisters like I should be. This is a big one for folks who just like to watch the numbers go up. A couple of missions have seen some minor tweaks, such as the Retrieve Essential Personnel mission. It seems lots of folks may have been struggling to extract the citizens, although I suspect this may be down to enthusiastically embracing freedom via firepower, as firepower doesn’t always discriminate between friend and foe.
My favorite change is that any operation modifier that has a negative effect on stratagem cooldowns or call-in time has been halved. This is good news, as the Stratagems are a core part of the gameplay loop, and having to sit around and wait for them doesn’t always feel very good. Keep us well armed, well fed, and bristling with Stratagems, and Helldivers will keep fighting forever. You can find the complete patch notes below.
