Helldivers 2 Hotfix Version 1.001.101 for September 18 Fixes Shield Pack; Known Issues Listed

Following yesterday’s gargantuan patch that addressed a lot of balance concerns and an initiative to make the game more user-friendly, there’s a new patch released today for Helldivers 2 for a hotfix. This is a client-side download and will show up as Helldivers 2 update 1.001.101, and this includes a short list of fixes.

Helldivers 2 Update 1.001.101 Patch Notes for September 18:

Overview

• Fix for SH-32 Shield Generator Pack
• Crash fix

Fixes

• Fix for a crash during host migration when a new player joins.
• Helldivers were accidentally granted the SH-32 Shield Generator Packs from General Brasch´s personal stash. These are reserved for 10 star generals only. The workers at the distribution center have been sent to re-education camps and regular shields will resume distribution.

Alongside the short list of fixes, Arrowhead Game Studios has also relayed the known issues they are dealing with right now too:

These are the highest priority issues that were either introduced by this patch and are being worked on, or are from a previous version and have not yet been fixed. This is not a comprehensive list.

Top Priority:

• Players may not receive Friend Requests sent from another platform

• Enemies will try to shoot the generators through walls in the Rescue High-Value Assets mission
• Enemies are sometimes capable of shooting through walls
• Social menu is stuck on ‘Please Wait Democratically’ for some players
• Dead bodies of Chargers can launch the Helldiver into the air
• Stratagem balls bounce unpredictably off cliffs and some spots
• Players may sometimes be unable to join specific friends, or are returned to ship when joined

Medium Priority:

• Reinforcement may not be available for players who join a game in progress
• Mines may become invisible or may disappear in Multiplayer lobbies
• Pelican-1 may sometimes be launched away if hit with an impaler tentacle
• Supply packs may be incorrectly used if pressing down on a controller while calling in a stratagem
• Friends “Invite only” games can still be seen on the Galactic War Map but cannot be joined
• High damage weapons will not detonate hellbombs
• Some enemies that bleed out do not progress Personal Orders and Eradicate missions

Expect more patches to be released for the game as part of its 60-day plan.
