Helldivers 2 is ondanks wat gedoe rondom een PSN-account verplichting – dat weer is teruggedraaid – mateloos populair en ontwikkelaar Arrowhead blijft met nieuwe updates komen. Deze updates zijn voornamelijk bedoeld om de game verder te finetunen en natuurlijk issues op te lossen. Als gevolg van het finetunen is er weer een nieuwe update uitgebracht.

Het gaat hier om een vrij kleine update die zich met name richt op het verhelpen van een aantal crashes. Ook wordt er een handjevol bugs aangepakt waar enkele spelers last van hadden. Tot slot staan de bekende problemen aangegeven, waar nog aan gewerkt wordt. Deze issues zullen met een toekomstige update aangepakt worden.
