Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead has released yet another patch for the hugely popular co-op shooter, and it makes some key fixes for troublesome issues.
Patch 1.000.13 fixes the Super Credits issue that was preventing the in-game resource from showing up after purchase or collection. Elsewhere, the patch fixes the unlimited stratagem use glitch that occurred after an AFK kick. This was something IGN reported on as part of shining a spotlight on the growing problem of cheating in Helldivers 2. On that, there’s no note about anti-cheat in this latest patch.
Helldivers 2 is Sony’s biggest PC game launch of all time, with a peak concurrent player figure of 458,709 on Steam. Helldivers 2’s success has even sparked renewed interest in Starship Troopers, the film from which it draws quite a bit of inspiration. If you’re playing, be sure to check out IGN’s Helldivers 2 guide.
There’s a lot going on in the world of Helldivers 2. IGN has reported on the fall of Malevelon Creek, one of the game’s most popular maps, as part of the galaxy-wide war against the bugs and bots. We’ve also reported on how Helldivers 2 players are kicking teammates who don’t have ‘meta’ loadouts, and Arrowhead’s return to the “original plan” now it’s on top of the server issues.
