The patch updates from the developer have failed as they have broken more than fixing and the same has happened again with the latest patch. The patch 1.000.405 update was dropped to fix another issue but has now broken a new weapon.

As per the players, the patch has broken the new Mortar upgrade. Due to this, they are no longer able to target pinged enemies. The player who reported said that they have tested it and it is not redirecting the fire after locking the targets.

This has disappointed fans as the game has had something broken almost always these past couple of months. The Mortar upgrade was popular but with this update’s issue, many might not be able to use it as intended. Some can’t believe that the developer is not able to fix things without breaking anything.

The latest Helldivers 2 patch has addressed and fixed the issue which caused players to be stuck in the infinite drop-in on the pod and they were not able to start missions. Despite this update, some players have said that they still have faced this issue.
