HELLDIVERS 2 Patch 01.001.004 Update Details

HELLDIVERS 2 patch 01.001.004 addresses crash triggers related to joining games by invite, kicking, and mission deployment. The hotfix reduces explosion radiuses for Impaler tentacles and light rockets to curb excessive ragdolling.

Arrowhead Game Studios deployed patch 01.001.004 for HELLDIVERS 2, targeting stability issues and physics interactions. The hotfix resolves crash scenarios and tones down explosive force on select enemy attacks.

Crash Fixes

The update resolves crash vectors, including issues that occurred when dropping into a game via invite while previously hosting, being kicked for inactivity, or shutting down the title during boot. A soft-lock bug tied to drop-ins after a host leaves is fixed.

Combat and Enemy Adjustments

Flamethrower particles do not ignore enemies. Mines can be targeted and detonated when placed near dangerous objects. The developers reduced the explosion radius of Impaler tentacle stabbing abilities and Automaton light rockets. A bug causing Impaler tentacles to chase players indefinitely is fixed.

Why this patch matters

Patch 01.001.004 delivers stability improvements and tempers physics frustrations caused by Impalers and Automaton rockets.
