Arrowhead Game Studios has released the Helldivers 2 6.1.1 patch notes, a small-scale update that introduces more fixes to the popular multiplayer game.

Launching right now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5, the new update is a smaller offering than most updates to the game. As Arrowhead continues to work on its new roadmap of content, this small patch aims to fix issues with the game’s new Exostorms.

Check out the full patch notes below:

Crash Fixes

  • Fix a crash happening when swapping between weapons while planting the One True Flag in multiplayer.

Weapon and Stratagem Fixes

  • The SMG-72 Pummeller is now able to reload if the Weapons magazine has bullets in it.

Miscellaneous Fixes

  • The Burier of Heads title has been thoroughly investigated, and–since no signs of alleged dissident connections could be discovered–the title has been reintroduced. Helldivers who have unlocked this title through the Dust Devils Warbond should now find it among other titles in the customization menu.
  • Increased amount of fog in the distance to look more cohesive and provide more ambient light (this is especially noticeable on a sandy moon).
  • Increased brightness during Exostorms, to combat cases where it could get really dark within the Exospire mission.

Known Issues

  • Explosives can cause Helldivers hidden behind terrain to ragdoll
  • Weapon customization doesn’t correctly display stats for sway and reload times
  • City defend events don’t show the correct Super Earth controlled city biome. 
  • Some attachments and their stats are not changed in preview until purchasing and equipping.
  • Destroying the Airbase Control Tower with a portable hellbomb before the objective calls for its destruction will softlock the objective. 
  • Melee kills are not being correctly counted in the end-of-mission stats or career stats
  • Fleshmob is able to clip through various objects when Charging
  • Players who are using the Microsoft IME languages are unable to type Korean, Japanese and Chinese symbols in chat.
  • Network Desync can cause SEAF Artillery shells to not be inserted properly, causing a softlock of that objective
