Arrowhead Game Studios has revealed that it has deployed Helldivers 2 update 1.003.102 to address a number of small technical hiccups with the critically acclaimed shooter. While there’s not much to see here, the studio did confirm that a ‘more significant patch’ is in the pipeline that will feature larger fixes and content updates. Beyond that, Arrowhead has also outlined some of the lingering issues for Helldivers 2, which will presumably be remedied soon enough.
Helldivers 2 was released for PS5 and PC in February 2024, and remains one of the most popular multiplayer titles for Sony’s current-generation home console. Back in May, Arrowhead revealed that its next game will be ‘100% funded‘ by the studio, but hasn’t ruled out working with Sony again in the future. Last month also saw the release of a major update for Helldivers 2, known as Heart of Democracy.
