Helldivers 2 Update: Arrowhead Needs to HAWK TUAH on This Broken Game! Should You BUY or WAIT? 

I just want to mention that the video includes more issues than just the spear, and it appears from the comments that I am not the only one having the other bugs with the textures and so on. A lot of feedback I've gotten is "just change the way you play." I totally understand this reaction, but I have to ask, since this issue is with something the devs have put in the game, an actual game mechanic. What if running 4 wide receivers had an 80% chance to crash your game in Madden? Just change the way you play. What if using cams in R6S ran the same risk of hard crashing your game? Would you have an issue with it, or would you just change the way you play? The game breaking bugs seem to be getting worse, not better is all I was trying to point out. I will be jumping on tonight to see if it has been fixed as some have posted as well. Thanks for the feedback!

Dude I was having so many crashes today it was absolutely ridiculous, I was also getting some sort of bug where when I was walking but not sprinting my guy kept veering off to the right

The spear and ballistic shield are currently bugged, you’ll keep crashing if you use them.

had a match where we had a jammer and the last guy deployed got stuck inside the drone tower right next to the jammer, he couldent nade himself and the bots couldent get to him so we were stuck there talking for like 5-10 mins before finally a 4th man deployed and we had to explain to him that because the third guy was stuck within jammer range we couldent deploy and were softlocked, he proceeded without saying a single word, to sprint his ass to the drone tower, taking out HUNDREDS of bots along the way, dodging and weaving, using every shot to his advantage, once the drones were dealt with, he was finally able to call down a hellbomb on the jammer, blew that shit uppppp! and got the crew back in the game! we were already low on reinforcements by that point in the match, so when the last waves came in as we were extracting, our supplies were running low, the 4th guy kept his cool and was stimming up the guys who ran out, he even dropped his HMG for me when i ran out of primary ammo. in the chaos of the fight, we were surrounded and split up near the end, as the amount of bile titans and behemoth chargers where getting to be overwhelming. this guy somehow baited a bile titan and TWO chargers onto him and dropped his last 500kg on his feet, he turns towards the extraction shuttle, looks at us as the bomb lands right behind him with a bile titan mid spit and two chargers just about to slam him, and says "lets play!", sticking his fist out towards us with a look on his face that only said "you got this guys, don't worry about me" as all four of his limbs and head split off into different directions a high speed. the level of bravery and courage he showed would make general brasch blush. also the game doesn't crash like that for me, i do experience bugs and "some" crashes rarely, i get more of the infinite loading screens. seems to be partly your setup that effect what types of crashes you experience. also when i limited my fps to 72 on my 144hz monitor its buttery smooth no dropped frames and no studder at all idk if that helps it not crash or not but i would suggest trying some different settings out, if your cpu and gpu are maxed out 100% of the time while playing it could lead to instability.

the only annoying part i can complain about after almost 400 hours into it are the crashes on console, especially when youre about to extract. for the balancing part i honestly dont give a shit i switch my primaries because it gets boring to use the same thing over and over again. theres def. Flaws with the guns but if i notice shit's bad i just dont play it and use smth else. id still say the game is fun overall and people should give it a go, theres been way worse games over the past years

they fixed it

This game's really buggy. I had UI issues when I used my keyboard, so I'm forced to use controller (which is acceptable but annoying). Nowadays I'm experiencing 50+% of the time a reinforcement bug where the stratagem doesn't work (if it happens & everyone dies, only 1 person revives over and over again). Being able to join without checking for server region is horrible. Worst, pressing F5 always tells me I have about 50 ping, which is definitely false.

I wouldn't say it's not worth a buy and play. People should simply be aware the game is a work in progress with decent polish but a few clear issues. Which resurface with new updates. It's game design 101 really

Hardly had any major bugs and only crashed once the whole time ive owned it. Dont know anyone whos had the sort of issues these videos describe and definitely not in this quantity. We keep playing it and we keep having fun. Calling it "unplayable" feels overdramatic.

its one weapon that's bugged bro. "Unplayable". Actual whiner.
