Check out how we test and review games here Update 01.003.000 was huge for Helldivers 2 as it kicked off the return of the Illuminate with new enemies added to their army, and it also introduced weapon customization, delivered lot of balance changes, and provided a lot of fixes. However, it also introduced an exploitable bug causing HD2 to crash for a lot of players. Fortunately, the Helldivers 2 update 01.003.001 emergency hotfix patch notes fix this “spamming bug,” and Arrowhead has also shared a workaround for a store issue on the PS5. Helldivers 2 update 01.003.001 emergency hotfix patch notes The only patch note for the Helldivers 2 update 01.003.001 emergency hotfix is as follows: Fix for the Stratagem spamming bug that caused severe crashing. This is fantastic news. Arrowhead announced on May 15th that a fix was “tentatively scheduled for tomorrow,” so it’s good that the developers were able to release the patch as planned. For those unaware or never encountered the glitch, the “spamming bug” basically duplicated stratagems resulting in the game constantly crashing for players due to others exploiting the glitch for nefarious reasons. Reacting to the update on Reddit, the community is understandably elated. There are a lot of comments simply echoing the sentiment, “thank god,” meanwhile, one user commented, “Just found out about it yesterday and I found it very undemocratic”. However, despite the overwhelming support for the fix, there are couple of disappointed comments such as, “What a shame, seeing how much we can abuse it before the whole thing just crashes was the most fun I’ve had in the game in months”. In addition to the fix for the “Stratagem spamming bug,” Arrowhead has also shared a workaround for a store issue on the PS5.
