Helldivers II developer Arrowhead Studios has announced that players can earn 50% extra XP and Requisition until the end of the day on Sunday in Central European Time thanks to a bug that prevented some players from earning rewards after a mission.
This morning, the official Helldivers II Twitter account posted a statement by Deputy Game Director, Sagar Beroshi in the hopes of addressing reports of the progress-preventing bug. The statement confirms that Arrowhead is working on a fix for the issue and that all players will receive the XP boost, not just those affected by the error.

Players looking to ensure that they’re benefitting from the surge in rewards should look for a Game Master Effect called “Accounting Corrections” while in the Super Destroyer. Beroshi then thanked the Helldivers II community for its support and patience.
Problems with players earning rewards after a mission are only some of the issues the comically-tinged shooter has faced since its launch earlier this month, though Arrowhead studios has promptly squashed many of these issues. Most recently, matchmaking is currently unusable according to Arrowhead Studios’ community manager, Katherine “Baskinator” Baskin, but players can still party up with their friends.
