Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.403: Patch Notes and Resolved Issues

Arrowhead Game Studios has released Helldivers 2 patch 01.000.403, addressing a critical crash bug linked to the FAF-14 Spear weapon. This update also includes a range of bug fixes designed to enhance overall gameplay stability and quality.

The patch directly tackles a crash introduced in a previous update that affected Spear aiming. It also fixes another crash triggered by unique hellpod patterns during launch cutscenes. A significant improvement is the global rollout of Japanese voice-overs for both PS5 and PC platforms.

This update also addresses several miscellaneous issues:

• Text Fixes: Resolved text corruption issues, particularly affecting Traditional Chinese characters.
• Weapon Fixes: The Plasma Punisher now functions correctly with the SH-32 and FX-12 Shield Generators. The Quasar cannon's heat management accurately reflects hot and cold planet conditions. Visual glitches with the Spore Spewer (purple appearance) and pink question marks in missions have been eliminated. The Peak Physique armor passive now correctly impacts weapon ergonomics.

Furthermore, the issue where available Operations reset after reconnecting from inactivity has been resolved.

Known Issues (Under Investigation):

While many issues have been addressed, some remain under active development:

• Friend requests via in-game friend codes are currently non-functional.
• Delays in Medal and Super Credit payouts are still occurring.
• Deployed mines may become invisible, despite remaining active.
• Arc weapon inconsistencies and misfires persist.
• Most weapons fire below the crosshair when aiming down sights.
• The Career tab mission count resets to zero after each game restart.
• Several weapon descriptions are outdated.
• Additional issues include problems with joining games, the placement of recent players in the player list, and the lack of enemy bleed-out progression in certain missions. Other issues involve ship modules (Hand Carts and Superior Packing Methodology), Bile Titan head damage, player loadout issues when joining in-progress games, reinforcement availability, planet liberation percentages, and objective progress bars.

Arrowhead Game Studios continues to actively monitor player feedback and work diligently to resolve outstanding issues, ensuring a consistently improving Helldivers 2 experience. Patch 01.000.403 is now available.
