One in every of Helldivers 2’s strongest stratagems is damaged. Truly, to be extra correct, the stratagem is actively breaking Helldivers 2, and gamers are formally being warned to not use it till Arrowhead manages to repair it.
The Spear stratagem is one among Helldivers 2’s beefiest weapons, which has made it a reasonably well-liked loadout selection for so long as it’s been round. The rocket launcher, which must be known as down in the midst of a spherical, has a novel lock-on characteristic and unleashes a reasonably devastating blow, making it a routinely needed weapon on the very best difficulties, the place extra closely armored enemies are likely to pop up in abundance. Because it seems although, the very factor that makes the weapon so interesting can also be actually crashing gamers’ video games.
As reported by Gamesradar+, a participant took to the Helldivers Discord to complain that their sport crashed whereas utilizing the Spear’s lock-on perform. One in every of Arrowhead’s neighborhood managers responded, saying that the workforce was conscious of comparable crashes occurring to different gamers and was trying into the matter.

For probably the most half, posts within the Helldivers subreddit have been fairly tame although, which could truthfully be as a result of goodwill of the final massive patch to hit the sport. Helldivers 2 used to have frequent patches and fixes that appeared to resolve one situation and trigger a number of extra, which ultimately added up over the course of a number of months. Simply as gamers have been starting to really feel dejected and like they need to surrender on Helldivers 2, Arrowhead introduced it might take its time with the event of patches in order to attenuate the issues they’d trigger, and it labored.
In the meantime, PlayStation appeared to blow the whistle on a wholly completely different stratagem lately. In an electronic mail despatched out by Helldivers 2’s writer, the lately acquired airburst rocket launcher stratagem is mentioned in a section, in addition to the anti-tank mines that the neighborhood retains falling in need of getting. Nonetheless, the accompanying image on this part of the e-mail exhibits a wholly completely different weapon than both of these, and appears to be a tease at an upcoming stratagem for a multi-barrel rocket launcher.
Followers are already positing that the featured gun marks the return of a beloved weapon from the unique Helldivers, and buzz is already constructing for the foremost order that’ll reward gamers with it. I suppose I’d name this much less of a leak and extra of a strategic tease, and it looks like it’s performed the trick. If there’s one factor Helldivers 2 gamers love greater than taking out bugs, it’s a shiny new toy to kill bugs with.
