HELLDIVERS 2 Patch 01.002.002 Eliminates Critical Crashes
HELLDIVERS 2 Patch 01.002.002 arrives as a focused hotfix addressing game crashes tied to ragdolling, hotjoining, and heavy destruction events.
Arrowhead Game Studios has released Patch 01.002.002 for HELLDIVERS 2, delivering a series of stabilization fixes aimed at preventing unexpected game crashes during missions.
Crash and Stability Fixes
The patch eliminates a crash that occurred when a player left a session while ragdolling and throwing grenades. It also resolves potential crashes during hotjoins on Illuminate missions, loading screens when joining or leaving a ship, and intense combat situations involving large amounts of destruction. Specific fixes target crashes linked to reloading shotguns while entering the FRV MG, triggering certain explosions, and deploying vehicle stratagems or fighting on colony maps.
Known Issues and Priority Tracking
High command has outlined ongoing issues currently under investigation. Top priorities include fixing unpredictable stratagem bounce behavior off cliffs, resolving player inability to emote while airborne, and matchmaking optimizations. Medium priority bugs involve Firebomb Hellpods failing to destroy heavy enemies like tanks, players getting stuck on Pelican-1 ramps, and high-damage weapons failing to detonate pre-existing map Hellbombs.
Why this patch matters
Patch 01.002.002 offers stability improvements to reduce mid-mission disruptions while leaving known weapon and matchmaking bugs for a future update.
