Arrowhead Game Studios has just dropped the latest Helldivers 2 update, and while it does not add any new content, it does fix some of the biggest issues in the game. Ever since the launch of the game, players have noticed that in some matches, their weapons deal more damage than usual. This was especially evident during the Railgun meta when, in some matches, it would take 5 to 6 shots to kill a Bile Titan, and in others, they would just go down in 2. As absurd as it sounds, later on, it was revealed that this was happening in cross-platform games where the host of the mission was playing on console, with PC players dealing up to double their usual damage numbers.
Among other changes, patch 01.000.203 has finally fixed this issue, and the damage numbers should all be the same across the board. The patch also has some other interesting fixes to crashing and bugs, so here is the full list of patch notes for the latest 01.000.203 of Helldivers 2:
