What Caused Helldivers 2 To Release Two Patches In One Day? - Critical Bug Fixed
It’s not uncommon for most games to have regular updates and patches, as this is not only the best way to release new content but also a way to fix previous bugs. However, here’s a piece of news that may surprise you, that is, Helldivers 2 actually released two patches within 24 hours last week!
Honestly, releasing patches too frequently may make you think that the developers of this game are not serious and cause frequent bugs, but in fact, unexpected situations always happen. Based on this, we will tell you why Helldivers 2 has this situation.
Patch 01.002.105
This patch was released on February 18th, but the main purpose of this patch is not to fix bugs. Its main content is the new playable content, which requires you to defend Umlaut Sector planet Fenrir III from the invasion of Terminids - a kind of terrible insect-like creatures.
Patch 01.002.106
After the new activity was released with 01.002.105, some developers discovered that if you killed too many Helldivers 2 Terminids in a short period, it would cause the game to crash. They called this situation Spore Burst Gloom Bugs, and patch 01.002.106 was born to solve this bug. In addition, Terminids were disabled in the game until the patch was released.
Does Patch 01.002.106 Make The New Activity Better?
Although the 01.002.106 update released on February 19th solved key problems with the new enemies Terminids, you will find that it did not make Gloom content in the new activity better. Many players said that the new operation was too difficult, and it was frustrating to fight multiple mutated Terminid enemies at the same time.
Based on this situation, you can reasonably speculate that before the end of the event, Helldivers 2 may launch more patches to make the event more playable and avoid being criticized by players. Although I don’t want to blame the developers, it is really ridiculous that an event has bugs and is criticized by players at the beginning of its launch.
In fact, the 01.002.106 patch is the fifth update for Helldivers 2 on PC since February 2025. Most of the other updates released by the game before this are related to display optimization. For example, PS5 Pro optimizes the game resolution in performance mode from 1080p to 1440p, and the console’s quality mode has also been improved, but these are just icing on the cake. If Helldivers 2 wants to get better in 2025, it should focus on optimizing the gameplay and ensuring the core quality of the game.
