Arrowhead Game Studios has rolled out update 4.1.1 for Helldivers 2, addressing various bugs and performance issues. The patch, available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, focuses solely on fixes without new content or balance changes. This marks the first update for the cooperative shooter in November 2025.
Helldivers 2, the popular third-person shooter from Arrowhead Game Studios, continues to receive support nearly two years after its launch. The latest patch, version 4.1.1, arrived on November 4, 2025, coinciding with the start of the month. While previous updates have introduced new content and tweaks, this one is dedicated to stability improvements, resolving crashes, input problems, and optimization hurdles that have affected players.
Key Fixes
The update tackles several crash-related issues, including one that occurred after hotjoining a game in progress when existing players deployed certain stratagems. Other crash fixes cover rare instances of enemies falling through the ground, mission encounters triggering errors, mission loading failures, and rapid interactions in the weapon customization menu.
In the miscellaneous category, developers addressed the extraction shuttle getting stuck in landing mode near tall structures, missing haptic feedback during gamepad disconnections, ragdolls clipping through the ground in the tutorial, and unnecessary texture loading on specific planet types.
Optimizations
Performance enhancements include a PC-specific fix for low-resolution textures despite available memory, reduced flashlight interference with weapon muzzle smoke for better field of view, smoother frame rates during drop-in sequences, and improved handling of tree destruction to prevent performance drops in dense environments.
This bug-focused patch ensures a more reliable experience for Helldivers 2 players, with Arrowhead indicating that larger updates with balance changes are likely on the horizon.
