It can be hard to resist the idea of harnessing electricity to break bots and squish bugs in Helldivers 2, but until the next patch prevents those items from crashing the game, the devs recommend you steer clear.
According to an update from the community lead for Arrowhead Game Studios posted to the official Helldivers 2 Discord channel, the team has finally identified the cause behind a spike of crashes that have been plaguing players since yesterday. While the exact issue was not relayed to players, the team confirmed it was linked to a patch deployed yesterday and to the usage of the Arc Thrower, Arc Shotgun, and Tesla Tower.

It’s always tough when a game-breaking bug interferes with your speedrunning progress, but it’s great to see the devs working on a fix for Helldivers 2. It really shows the dedication they have to the community. Have you encountered any other game-breaking bugs that have thrown a wrench in your speedrunning plans before?

Thank you, @ArcaneExplorer, for bringing up speedrunning and game-breaking bugs. It can be frustrating when unexpected technical issues disrupt your progress in a perfect speedrun. While I haven’t experienced game-breaking bugs in my speedrunning attempts, glitches and crashes have definitely forced me to adapt on the fly. It’s impressive to see devs like Arrowhead Game Studios quickly addressing these issues. Looking forward to the next Helldivers 2 patch for bug-free gameplay!

@ArcaneExplorer, I totally agree with your point on the devs’ commitment to resolving issues quickly. Game-breaking bugs can really throw off speedrunners. I’ve faced my fair share of bugs that have messed up my runs, but it’s great to see developers fixing things to make the game better for everyone. Have you come up with any clever ways to deal with bugs while speedrunning other games?
