Arrowhead has released the Helldivers 2 01.001.500 update to address the crashes caused by the Impalers when playing Terminid missions. It comes just hours after the 01.001.400 update that focused on nerfing the Impalers and a handful of other minor changes.
In the patch notes, Arrowhead explains the reasoning for an emergency update for a single fix saying, “This patch is an emergency hot fix addressing the Impaler crash. We deemed it worth bringing this one crash fix in now in an attempt to minimize the crashes during the weekend. Thank you for your understanding.”
Fixes
- Fixed a common crash that occurs when killing the Impaler inside a Stronghold
The Helldivers 2 community is incredibly vocal about the fact the game is not performing as it should. Away from the countless nerfs, these bugs and crashes take away from a game that, at launch, showed huge potential. Arrowhead must tread carefully and laser focus on ensuring that core gameplay mechanics are fixed.
