Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.403: Bug Fixes and Improved Gameplay

Arrowhead Game Studios has released Helldivers 2 patch 01.000.403, addressing a critical crash involving the FAF-14 Spear and implementing numerous other bug fixes to enhance the overall player experience. This follows a pattern of regular updates from the developers since the game's 2024 release, demonstrating their commitment to refining gameplay and stability.

The patch directly tackles a crash introduced by a previous update that fixed the Spear's aiming mechanics. This latest version resolves this issue and another crash related to unique hellpod patterns during launch cutscenes, ensuring smoother gameplay. A significant addition is the global rollout of Japanese voice-overs for both PS5 and PC players.

Beyond the crash fixes, this update includes various miscellaneous improvements: resolved text corruption in Traditional Chinese, corrected Plasma Punisher firing issues with certain shield generators, adjusted Quasar cannon heat management for accurate planetary conditions, eliminated visual glitches like purple Spore Spewers and pink question marks, and fixed a problem where available Operations reset after reconnecting from inactivity. The Peak Physique armor passive's effect on weapon ergonomics has also been corrected.

However, some issues remain under active development. These include problems with friend requests via in-game friend codes, delays in reward payouts (Medals and Super Credits), invisible (but active) mines, inconsistent Arc weapon behavior, most weapons firing below the crosshair when ADS (aiming down sights), a resetting mission count in the Career tab, and outdated weapon descriptions.
