Helldivers 2 brings a host of changes to the game. It increases the amount of starting and spare magazines by one, lets you toss grenades and stratagems from the FRV, and introduces several fixes to the maligned “Guard Dog” Dog Breath stratagem. Arrowhead announced in the patch notes that it’s leaving the Siege Ready Armor Passive bug alone, and will merely change the description for it later.

Helldivers 2 certainly isn’t new to undocumented patch notes. Arrowhead has surprised players before by shadow-dropping things like flying Terminids and drivable Exosuits before the latter became available as a stratagem. Arrowhead likely won’t stop with the latest patch, and there may be even more to discover. If you’re keen on helping, there hasn’t been a better time to grab a shovel and start digging.
