Arrowhead Game Studios has released an emergency hotfix for Helldivers 2, addressing a recently discovered glitch that allows players to spawn an infinite number of Stratagems at once, causing some players' games to crash. The recent issue has become a major headache for the game's community, with moderators on the Helldivers 2 subreddit banning clips or images of the exploit.
Released early last year, Helldivers 2 quickly became one of the best co-op games of 2024, with the game tasking teams of four with taking down massive bugs and killer robots using any number of interstellar weapons. The sequel to 2015's Helldivers has been praised for its gunplay and sense of humor, and while its initial launch was plagued with server and login issues, it managed to reach over 450,000 concurrent players on Steam shortly after its release. Helldivers 2 continues to see a steady stream of content updates and helpful patches, but unfortunately, these can sometimes have unexpected and catastrophic consequences.
Helldivers 2’s New Weapon Customization is Hopefully a First Step Toward Armor Transmog
As Helldivers 2 debuts weapon attachment and pattern customization, armor is seemingly no closer to receiving transmog or its own customization.
An emergency hotfix for Helldivers 2 was announced on the game's official Discord server today (reported by VG247), which includes a fix for the ongoing Stratagem spawning glitch that has caused many players' games to suddenly crash. Following the release of Helldiver 2's most recent major update earlier this week, some fans of the game discovered a way to spawn an infinite number of Stratagems at one time, with bad actors using this exploit to cause the game to crash. The new emergency hotfix addresses this issue alone, and players shouldn't have to worry about having their fun ruined by the bug going forward.
Helldivers 2 Emergency Hotfix Addresses Infinite Stratagem Spawning Glitch
The future of Helldivers 2 seems bright, with its developers dedicated to supporting the game and continuing to add polish to the live-service shooter. This month, Arrowhead CEO Shams Jorjani shared an interest in a Dead Space crossover, though whether this ever comes to fruition remains unclear. Many fans are also hoping for a future collaboration event with Warhammer 40K. Helldivers 2 has only crossed over with Killzone so far, but this has started a conversation about other properties that would be a good fit for the game.
While support for Helldivers 2 is set to continue, Arrowhead recently shared more about its next project, with the studio confirming that it would self-fund and self-publish its upcoming game, currently codenamed "Game 6." The title is reportedly in its early concept stage, and isn't scheduled to begin serious development until later in 2025.
