Helldivers 2 Hotfix 01.004.001 Buffs Weapons and Fixes Crashes

Arrowhead has deployed Hotfix 01.004.001 for Helldivers 2, reducing reload times for the S-11 Speargun and cooldowns for the MS-11 Solo Silo alongside a suite of crash fixes.

Arrowhead Game Studios deploys Hotfix 01.004.001 for Helldivers 2, targeting loadout balance and stability issues across all platforms.

Weapons and Stratagem Adjustments

The S-11 Speargun now features a decreased reload duration, dropping from 3.5 seconds down to 2.5 seconds. Meanwhile, the MS-11 Solo Silo benefits from a reduced cooldown, moving from 210 seconds to 180 seconds.

Stability and Crash Repairs

The hotfix resolves multiple stability issues, including crashes triggered by excessive particle effects, players remaining in Hellpods after reinforcement, and seeking missiles targeting deleted entities. Additional fixes address LIFT-182 Warp Pack suspension glitches, MA5C AR Super Destroyer crashes, and Displacements Backpack visual effects while aiming down sights.

Environment and Extraction Fixes

Automaton missions no longer trigger specific random crashes. Hive world tunnels retain proper lighting on lower graphics settings, extraction shuttles land more safely, and the bright Hellpad lighting bug has been corrected.

Why this patch matters

Hotfix 01.004.001 provides immediate relief for persistent crash triggers while offering useful quality-of-life buffs to key gear.
