Helldivers 2 Update Today: Extraction Crash Fixed & More

Arrowhead Game Studios has just released a brand new patch for Helldivers 2, which aims to fix all of the different stability and crashing issues that have been part of the game for the last few weeks. With each new update, whether it introduced a Warbond, Stratagem, or enemy type, it seemed like more issues arose, leading to numerous instances of bugs and crashes. The most notorious of which was centered around extraction, with players losing all of the progress they made during their missions as the game crashed while boarding the shuttle. This issue, in particular, has forced a ton of players to stop playing the game until it was officially fixed.

The newly deployed patch 01.000.202 aims to do just that, with a variety of fixes that will (hopefully) deal with all of these issues. Here are the full patch notes for the latest 01.000.202 update for Helldivers 2!
