Did they catch them all?

Aside from putting out spicy Eagle 1 propaganda, Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead published another update for the game on PC and PS5 to tackle the remaining crash issues. A previous patch already reined in some of these problems, but a number of crash sources proved to be more resilient than imagined – just like the Automatons, which promptly returned after getting wiped from the galactic map. 

Aside from fixing several crash issues, the update ensures that the CE-27 Ground Breaker – one of the available armor sets – has the Engineer passive. This was an advertised feature of the kit, but didn’t actually work in-game.
