Helldivers 2 is an excellent third-person on-line co-op sci-fi shooter. Like, actually good. But, it’s not essentially the most steady sport, with many gamers (myself included) failing missions just because the sport has crashed. And now, gamers are studying that snowballs can result in a few of these far-too-frequent crashes.
Helldivers 2 launched in February to rave critiques and has rapidly turn out to be one of many largest success tales of 2024. So many individuals had been making an attempt to play it at launch that the servers stored collapsing on PS5 and PC. It’s simply one in every of 2024’s finest video games thus far due to its dedication to creating fight really feel each satisfying and harmful. You by no means really feel actually protected in Helldivers 2, irrespective of what number of huge weapons you might have or what number of gamers there are in your squad. However, the most important menace within the sport may not be a large bug or swarm of robots, however as a substitute a snowball.
As noticed by IGN, in a March 28 submit on the official Helldivers 2 Discord server, Arrowhead Games’ group lead—generally known as Baskinator within the server—informed gamers to keep away from selecting up and throwing snowballs within the co-op shooter. This playful possibility has been a characteristic since launch on snowy planets, and whereas the balls don’t do a lot injury, it’s enjoyable to toss them at friends or enemies. But, for now, gamers ought to keep away from tossing snowballs as a result of they will trigger crashes.
“We’re conscious of a crash attributable to selecting up and throwing snowballs,” mentioned Baskinator. “We hope to have this fastened within the close to future, however till then, we advise in opposition to snowball throwing!”
No extra data was shared within the message warning gamers to keep away from snowballs.
Since launch, Helldivers 2 has struggled with technical errors. As beforehand talked about, the sport’s servers had been crushed by hundreds of individuals making an attempt to play the sport all on the similar time. There was additionally an annoying black display screen difficulty that plagued some gamers. And as IGN reported, some arc weapons and stratagems had been inflicting crashes earlier this month, resulting in an identical warning from the devs to keep away from them—just like the snowballs—till they had been fastened in a patch.
It’s a testomony to how good Helldivers 2 is that I hold making an attempt to play it regardless of all these crashes and different points. Hopefully, with extra patches and time, Helldivers 2 will turn out to be a extra dependable, strong expertise.
