Helldivers 2 has always been on a rollercoaster when it comes to its patches. Just when you think one thing is fixed, something else breaks entirely, causing constant crashes. Helldivers 2 patch 01.000.403 is the latest one to hit the game and it provides fixes for some series issues players were having. Specifically, this patch tackles crashes caused by players using the FAF-14 Spear along with a bunch of other general fixes. So let’s get into the patch notes and see what the latest Helldivers 2 patch provides to the players.
