While Arrowhead has assured of incoming fixes, Twinbeard has commented when asked why the station wasnt tested enough for bugs before launch.Twinbeard revealed why DSS failed at launch in Helldivers 2.I think that the idea of the DSS and what it can become in the future is awesome and I think it can be utilized for a great many things if things pan out well. I however also think that the testing process and comms surrounding the development cycle has been a step down compared to the recent heights weve seen for HD2, responded Twinbeard.He further added that the team at Arrowhead owns to the errors made and is not sweeping these issues under the rug which are concerning to them as well.Twinhead concluded by saying, The launch of the DSS was flawed, but it can be tweaked and evolved in many different ways. I think and hope its life cycle has just begun.Since Arrowhead has yet to reveal when a hotfix will be deployed to Helldivers 2 to fix the said issues, players should avoid using DSS for the time being, unless, of course, youre looking for hilarious team wipe content for your socials.For more Helldivers 2, check out our guide to thebest warbonds ranked, along with thebest stratagemsandbest throwables.
