Helldivers 2 patch notes makes planetary domination even harder
Helldivers 2's barrage of updates continues this week, with a brand new update set to make planets even more treacherous.
Helldivers 2 has a brand new update today, and while it sadly hasn't brought Helldivers 2's mechs into the game just yet, there are some brand new features for players to contend with. The major new addition is Planetary Hazards, so if you didn't have a hard enough time dealing with the bugs and automatons, you'll now have to contend with bad weather too, including the likes of fire tornadoes and meteor showers.
Some balance changes also arrived in this latest Helldivers 2 patch, with the Flamethrower coming out on top with a fantastic 50% DPS increase, which will absolutely destroy those annoying chargers now. We've included the full Helldivers 2 patch notes for update 01.000.100 below for you to check out.

- Various UI issues may appear when the game interacts with servers
