For the full squadron of squids, leaks have revealed “Illuminate Gravitational Monoliths,” meanwhile, other leaks have revealed a maximum level increase from 150-200. While new content is anticipated, a lot of HD2 players are not happy with the game’s current performance. Neither are Arrowhead as the Helldivers 2 devs are “100% aware performance ain’t great” right now as they continue to work on a new update for which some fixes are confirmed. Helldivers 2 devs discuss performance and next update On the Helldivers Discord, Arrowhead CEO, Shams Jorjani, has responded to complaints about the game’s performance. The CEO assured fans that Arrowhead are “100% aware performance aint great now,” and they are “tracking closely and have numerous things in motion”. The developer will be sharing “details in the not too distant future”. As for why performance issues have arisen, Jorjani explained that “the more [Arrowhead] add in terms of content the tougher performance becomes,” and the developer “then have to do a bit of housekeeping”. The hope is that, in the future, Arrowhead will “be able to add content that has less impact”.

Some fixes are already finished, but just because a fix is ready “doesn’t mean [Arrowhead] can ship it without introducing the risk of more issues”. While Arrowhead is actively working on the next update, JoJo has said that issues with anti-aliasing have been resolved. The QA lead also stated that “performance is a major focus” and that the next update will have “as many bug fixes as possible”. In addition, the developer is “actively” working on a fix for the infamous “torso divers” bug. Image credit: Helldivers Discord This is all we know about the next update. It appears that it will be performance-based with fixes for bugs rather than weapon balancing. As for lingering complaints about issues with the Eruptor, these are confirmed to not be a bug, but JoJo has repeated that Arrowhead are “still unhappy with it”.
