Helldivers 2 Update 01.000.403: Patch Notes and Resolved Issues

Arrowhead Game Studios has released Helldivers 2 patch 01.000.403, addressing a critical crash bug linked to the FAF-14 Spear weapon. This update also includes numerous bug fixes designed to improve overall gameplay stability and enjoyment.

The patch directly tackles a crash introduced in a previous update that affected players aiming the Spear. Another crash, occurring during launch cutscenes with unique hellpod patterns, has also been resolved. A significant addition is the global rollout of Japanese language voiceovers for both PS5 and PC platforms.

This update also addresses several miscellaneous issues:

• Text Fixes: Resolved text corruption issues, particularly affecting Traditional Chinese characters.
• Weapon Functionality: The Plasma Punisher now functions correctly within the SH-32 and FX-12 Shield Generator Packs. The Quasar cannon's heat management now accurately reflects hot and cold planetary conditions.
• Visual Glitches: The Spore Spewer's purple visual anomaly on certain planets has been corrected, along with the removal of pink question marks appearing in various missions.
• Gameplay Improvements: Fixed an issue causing available Operations to reset after reconnection following inactivity. The Peak Physique armor passive now correctly impacts weapon ergonomics.

Known Issues (Still Under Development):

While many issues have been addressed, some remain under active development:

• Friend requests via in-game friend codes are currently non-functional.
• Delays in Medal and Super Credit payouts may still occur.
• Deployed mines can become invisible (though they remain active).
• Arc weapons exhibit inconsistent behavior and occasional misfires.
• Most weapons fire below the crosshair when aiming down sights.
• The mission count in the Career tab resets to zero after each game restart.
• Several weapon descriptions are outdated and do not reflect current weapon designs.
