Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.403: Patch Notes and Resolved Issues

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

The patch tackles several issues, including a crash triggered by aiming the Spear (introduced in a previous patch), and another crash occurring during launch cutscenes with unique hellpod patterns. A significant addition is the global rollout of Japanese voiceovers for both PS5 and PC platforms.

This update also resolves various visual and gameplay glitches. These include fixing corrupted text in Traditional Chinese, ensuring the Plasma Punisher functions correctly with the SH-32 and FX-12 Shield Generators, and correcting Quasar cannon heat management inconsistencies across different planet types. Visual bugs, such as the purple Spore Spewer on certain planets and pink question marks in missions, have also been eliminated. Additionally, the fix for the resetting of available Operations after reconnecting from inactivity has been implemented.

While many issues have been resolved, some remain under active development. These persistent problems include:

• Friend Request Issues: Sending friend requests using in-game friend codes is currently non-functional.
• Reward Delays: Delays in receiving Medals and Super Credits are still occurring.
• Invisible Mines: Deployed mines may become invisible, despite remaining active.
• Arc Weapon Inconsistency: Arc weapons exhibit erratic behavior and occasional misfires.
• Crosshair Alignment: Most weapons fire below the crosshair when aiming down sights.
• Career Tab Reset: The mission count in the Career tab resets to zero after each game restart.
• Outdated Weapon Descriptions: Some weapon descriptions are outdated and do not reflect current weapon designs.
