The recent patch for Helldivers 2 has been met with enthusiasm from players, thanks to substantial buffs to weapons and Stratagems. These enhancements have made it easier for players to enforce managed democracy across the universe with greater impact. Despite these improvements, an unlisted feature—’the power of flight’—has unexpectedly made its way into the game.
This glitch allows players to float through the air by repeatedly using the emote button, a discovery that has become popular within the community. Players can now traverse the map while airborne, which adds a new level of chaos and intimidation for the enemy Terminids below. The floating characters, armed to the teeth, create a surreal and menacing presence in the game.
Johan Pilestedt, the creative director of Helldivers 2, has been made aware of this unintended feature. His response to a Reddit comment about the glitch involved a meme GIF of Homer Simpson retreating into a bush. This response has left players guessing about whether the developers will address and fix the glitch or if it will remain a quirky addition to the game.
The overall reception of the update has been positive, indicating that Arrowhead’s ongoing efforts to improve Helldivers 2 are succeeding. Their 60-day action plan to enhance the game is well underway, and the developers have reassured players that they are actively listening to feedback and making adjustments based on player input.
The latest patch has brought both significant updates and an amusing glitch to Helldivers 2. The unexpected flight feature has added a new dimension to the gameplay, and while its future is uncertain, the developers’ commitment to continuous improvement and community engagement remains clear.
