RL-77 Airburst Rocket Launcher
Airburst Rocket Launcher will no longer detonate when shot near stratagems (HMG turret, Sentries, Resupplies) and other Helldivers.
Reduced proximity radius
Enemies
Balancing adjustments have been made to
Bile Spewer and Nursing Spewers movespeed slightly reduced
Hulks: Force required for them to stagger slightly increased
Hulk Scorcher direct flamethrower damage reduced by 20%
Devastator fire rate slightly increased (only the standard devastator)
Gunships sideways movement slightly increased
Scout strider Riders now less vulnerable to explosions
Fog Generators health and armor increased
Gunship spawners now have a much lower cap on how many gunships they can have active at the same time.
Enemy Patrols
We unintendedly had non-linear scaling of the patrol spawns so they didn’t spawn as often as they should have when less than 4 players. The intention is that 1 player has 1/4th of the patrols compared to 4 players, but it used to be that they had 1/6th.
Balancing adjustment to patrol spawning.
Patrol spawning has been increased when there are fewer than 4 players. The fewer the players the bigger the change. For 4 player missions there will be no change compared to before.The biggest noticeable change will be for solo players at higher difficulties.
🎮 Gameplay
Made minor level generation improvements to how we distribute locations throughout the mission map. This should improve variation in distance between objectives, and objectives will likely not spawn as far away from each other as often as before.
Added setting in the options menu gameplay section to disable automatic climbing and vaulting while sprinting.
The Spread Democracy mission otherwise known as “raise the flag” can now be enjoyed on higher difficulties for maximum freedom spreading.
When readying up, Helldivers now salute to ensure maximum democratic readiness.
Added ambience to the Tremor planetary hazard to underline the severity so Helldivers can react accordingly
Shots that ricochet from heavy armored enemies will now properly hit the Helldiver who fired them. Trigger discipline is highly recommended.

That’s fund and all but as long as there is no patch for “game sometimes just closes/crashes/or lose connection” it’s pretty meaningless
It’s there…
