Good news, if you've been having issues with Helldivers 2 freezing since its last patch was deployed, there's now a new one designed to stop at least some instances of the game doing just that when you use specific guns.
If you're out of the loop, things had been going well in-game for the soldiers of Super Earth until a number of pesky issues hit last week, likely contributing to the failure of a major order, which some players were seemingly told hadn't failed, even though it definitely had. Arrowhead's been working very hard on sorting a lot of them out and here's a big fix, as the focus starts to go back to what cool stuff might happen in-game next.
As detailed in the very snappy notes for patch 1.000.104, which was teased last week, it has one job and hopefully will do it well. That one job is fixing the game's arc-based weapons, and stopping the act if firing them from freezing the game. The guns and stratagems in question are the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower.
