HELLDIVERS 2 Patch v01.003.002 Resolves Crashes and Physics Bugs

HELLDIVERS 2 update v01.003.002 fixes game crashes tied to weapon customization and illuminating kills, alongside a fix for drones failing to return to backpacks.

Super Earth High Command has deployed patch v01.003.002 for HELLDIVERS 2, targeting critical crash triggers, looping audio, and erratic physics interactions.

Crash Fixes

A crash that occurred when entering the Weapon Customization menu for specific weapons is resolved. The update also fixes a crash triggered by killing illuminates right as they were about to spawn.

Weapons and Stratagems

Drones now correctly return to the backpack instead of getting stuck or failing to dock. The update also addresses an issue where Master of Ceremony items purchased on PlayStation 5 under the Quality visual setting would unintentionally change pages.

Environment and Audio

Corpses of specific enemies will no longer launch Helldivers great distances across the map upon interaction. Additionally, the Stingray strafing attack sound bug that caused audio loops to persist has been fixed.

Why this patch matters

A straightforward maintenance patch that removes persistent crash causes and physics anomalies that disrupted missions.
