Patch 01.000.200 for Helldivers 2 brings some unexpected things to the game. Fans would have never expected to see Blizzards and Sandstorms added to it as new hazards. This would surely make their time a bit more challenging.

Besides this, they have balanced the Retrieve Essential Personnel mission. They did this by moving the enemy spawn points a bit further, giving players a better chance to defend the location. On the other hand, they would also need a smaller number of civilians to successfully complete this mission with higher difficulties.

On the other hand, the difficulty of the Destroy Command Bunkers mission has been increased by giving players more objectives to complete. This mission will also start appearing in the difficulty 5 category of operations from now on.

They have also fixed a bunch of weapon glitches that players were facing in Helldivers 2. This includes players not being able to fire the weapon while opening the mini-map. Previously, this was not possible. Some fans are really loving this change.

This is a massive list of changes that Arrowhead Game Studios has brought to Helldivers 2. They seem really committed to making sure their fans do not face any issues as they fight this galactic war in order to liberate various planets that have been taken over by various enemy factions.

Fans have also said that there is no need for microtransactions in Helldivers 2.

One must understand that, besides fixing these issues, this patch has also introduced some unexpected problems to the game. The developers are aware of those issues and are probably working on fixing them at this very moment.

The issue is that if players decide to pick and use a snowball during a game, they might end up crashing the game. A similar thing might happen if players pick up and throw back a grenade that the enemy threw at them.

This new patch has gotten mixed reviews from fans
