Helldivers 2 has released another key patch, helping players struggling with crashes and any frustrating bugs. Here are the full Helldivers 2 May 14 patch notes, as well as everything that’s changed in the update.

With its nature as a live-service game, Helldivers 2 is constantly changing, with new metas appearing, weapons needing to be balanced, and certain bugs needing to be squashed (not just the Terminids). As such, new patches are pretty regular.

So, to help you keep on top of the game and see everything that’s changed, here are the full Helldivers 2 May 14 patch notes.

What’s changed in the Helldivers 2 May 14 patch?

The primary focus of the May 14 Helldivers 2 patch notes is crash fixes. The patch has sorted out crashes when transitioning to or from a ship, when you’re in the loadout menu, and when a host left or a player hot joined a game – meaning your game should run a little smoother.

On top of this, the patch has given the AR-61 Tenderizer the correct color scheme and has fixed attachments that are showing up as purple question marks to some players in the tutorial.
