Helldivers Patch 01.000.200 brings new fixes

The new patch also brings fixes to gameplay and some in-game interactions. Enemies will finally attack Exosuits, which have received a fix for random explosion damage and the ability to attack even when opening the minimap. The number of Automaton enemies will spawn correctly, where they were spawning more often. Improvements to the Hellpod to prevent players from getting stuck or deviating from the path.

We also have fixes related to the game, where on PS5 certain settings were not saved correctly upon restart. As well as regarding player invites, or friend requests made difficult by some random issues. In short, a substantial patch that brings many changes and fixes, although some problems already noticed by the community after not even a day have already been identified and will soon be fixed with the next patches.
