Arrowhead Game Studios has released a new patch for their third-person shooter, Helldivers 2 which finally makes much-needed changes to arc weapons and stratagems. As fans prepare for the next rumored faction, Illuminate, fans believe that these weapons will be necessary while fighting them during their rumored invasion.
Rumors suggest that Illuminate will be Helldivers 2‘s third faction. These are a vast society of tentacled aliens with psychic powers and so far, they have been only teased in the game and are yet to show up. Many media outlets claim that gamers will soon battle against the Illuminate but it would’ve been impossible without Arc Weapons.
These weapons are rumored to be the easiest way to defeat this faction. With the Arc Weapons bug fixed, fans can use them again without worrying about crashing the game.
Helldivers 2‘s latest update fixes a major problem with arc weapons and stratagems
Over the past week, multiple Helldivers 2 players have reported that their game crashed as soon as they used the Arc Thrower, the Arc Shotgun, and the Tesla Tower stratagem. This was a major problem as it not only crashed the game of the person using the gun but also shut down the game for players around them. Arrowhead Game Studios’ latest patch, the 1.000.104, fixes this problem.
Apart from this, Community Manager Baskinator also shared a list of known issues they are working on, including issues involving friend invites, cross-play, and a problem with Hellpod steering. Helldivers 2 has witnessed many technical glitches but Arrowhead is consistently working hard to fix all the problems.
Were Arc Weapons fixed as players will use them to defeat the Illuminate?
There has been a lot of speculation recently over the Arc weapons in the game as fans believe that they will be crucial for defeating Illuminate, which is likely to be Helldivers 2‘s third faction. This faction, which was also in Helldivers, will feature a variety of tentacled aliens who have psychic powers. These enemies are indeed very difficult to defeat but this is where the Arc Weapons will come in handy.
Arrowhead Game Studios has yet to announce the arrival of a third faction. However, Gameleap has revealed that many players have witnessed some unusual activities in the game such as flashing dots on minimaps and blue laser beams. Many believe that these are signs that players should prepare for another major invasion.
