HELLDIVERS 2 Update 7.2.2 Patch Notes

HELLDIVERS 2 update 7.2.2 adjusts weapon statistics for the AMW-20 Apex and LAS-44 Nova, fixes previous calculation errors on the SG-22 Bushwacker, and resolves two renderer crashes on PC and Xbox.

Super Earth High Command has deployed update 7.2.2 for Helldivers 2, bringing adjustments to stratagem weaponry alongside stability fixes for PC and Xbox players.

Stratagem Adjustments

The AMW-20 Apex receives balance changes to bring its performance in line with similar power weapons like the Anti-Material Rifle and Autocannon. Its caliber drops from 60 to 20, reducing damage drop-off over longer distances and making it function more effectively as a sniper. Its demolition strength rises to 30, allowing it to destroy larger objects such as covers and container doors. Additionally, the weapon correctly displays its armor penetration level as Anti-Tank in the armory. The LAS-44 Nova also receives an armory fix to correctly display its armor penetration level as Anti-Tank.

Shotgun Corrections

The SG-22 Bushwacker receives correct values following miscalculated adjustments in the previous patch. Damage increases from 405 to 486, and durable damage rises from 108 to 135.

Stability and Misc

A rare renderer crash on PC and Xbox is fixed, alongside a separate rare crash that occurred on boot. Two music tracks are also removed, though this change has no impact on gameplay.

Why this patch matters

Update 7.2.2 rectifies miscalculated shotgun numbers and clarifies weapon capabilities while clearing up platform stability crashes.
