Overview
Patch 1.000.13 for Helldivers 2 delivered minor fixes such as PS5 login improvements, AZERTY rebinding, Super Credit delivery, and crash resolutions, while broader known issues like login limits, disconnects, delayed medal rewards, UI bugs, pickup freezes, and missing Japanese audio remain developer-acknowledged.
Gameplay footage circulating on Reddit depicts a player piloting functional mechs in Helldivers 2.
Daniel observed persistent in-game bugs including disappearing weapons, stratagem interface lockups, dropship extraction failures, broken matchmaking requiring restarts, and nonfunctional armor values where medium and heavy armor yield no survivability benefits over light armor.
Daniel criticized weapon balancing where endgame and Warbond weapons such as the Liberator Explosive, Dominator, and Scorcher feel underpowered compared to the Breaker shotgun and Railgun, raising concern that updates might arrive too late.
