The Helldivers 2 team has resolved the issue with shield generator melee invincibility, while jump pack adjustments will be addressed in the upcoming patch.

As of September 18, 2024, at 3:00 PM BST, Arrowhead implemented an urgent fix addressing issues with the protect generator pack and resolving a potential crash that might occur during host migrations when a new player joins. The studio has encouraged those currently engaged to restart their activities, likely with the intention of ensuring the new update can be implemented seamlessly.

Despite the commotion surrounding Helldivers 2’s Patch 1.001.100, issues persist, including a shield generator bug that renders players immune to melee attacks.

Although Arrowhead has already addressed concerns, Johan Pilestedt is hinting at potential changes in the upcoming major patch, despite some gamers seeming indifferent to the studio’s involvement.

The developer quipped on Twitter that they’re aware of the “fairly embarrassing” issue with their non-public protect generator, which fails to provide protection against melee attacks.

Should you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re faced with a horde of Terminids, it’s surprisingly liberating to simply stand your ground and let the swarm attack, unencumbered by the need for caution or strategy. In the blink of an eye, your survival hangs precariously if a behemoth-like Bile Titan materializes, threatening to crush everything enjoyable; conversely, an unsuspecting teammate might inadvertently eliminate you in the chaos.

In reality, the advantage it affords has unexpectedly led people to humorously request Arrowhead not hasten the fix, with Pilestedt remaining steadfast, quipping that this might actually make the game “a notch too straightforward”.

A community member inquired about potential buffs to Soar Pack’s cooldown, prompting a confirmation from the studio that such an update is indeed planned for the next patch. So, just one day after its release, whispers are emerging about forthcoming updates to the latest patch, fueling anticipation among gamers.

Are you counting on this exploit to persist just a little while longer, allowing you to take down a significant number of Helldivers 2’s Terminids without experiencing the usual frustration? Tell us under!
