Helldivers 2 recently released update 01.002.202. The patch notes for this update revealed that Arrowhead removed the unintended buff for the Quasar Cannon, as well as provided a few other fixes for HD2. However, the update unfortunately resulted in another popular weapon no longer properly working, and the Helldivers 2 developer has confirmed they are “investigating” the issue.
Helldivers 2 devs confirm they are “investigating” weapon bug
Following the release of the newest Helldivers 2 update, a lot of players reported that the autocannon is no longer working. According to many accounts from the community, the issue with the weapon is that it no longer fires after the first reload despite having lots of ammo remaining.
This was obviously very frustrating as the autocannon is a very popular support weapon within the playerbase. In addition, a lot of players feel that with every fix comes another issue, and there are still fixes yet to be made such as issues with the Eruptor.
While there is no fix for the Autocannon yet, the good news, at least, is that Arrowhead have confirmed they are “investigating” the bug. As posted on Discord, Arrowhead “are investigating the issue surrounding the Auto-cannon and will let [players] know as soon as [they] have more information”.
Hopefully a hotfix will be provided very soon. It’s possible one could arrive later today or on Thursday, but right now we just have to wait.
