As Helldivers 2 fans call for bug fixes over new content, director apologizes "for the sloppy mistakes we've made as of recent" and knows "we can do better as a studio"

Helldivers 2 Democratic Detonation Warbond diving.

Helldivers 2's popularity is still sky-high, but more and more demands have been flooding in lately for developer Arrowhead to put a greater focus on squashing bugs rather than adding new content, something which the devs have pointed out isn't exactly straightforward. It's rather ironic, really, given the game's massive focus on killing democracy-hating bugs.

Since the shooter's release, Arrowhead Game Studios has constantly been supplying fans with new content to dive into, from new Warbonds to fresh enemies to fight. However, as can be seen in the game's latest patch notes, there's a huge list of known issues that the devs are aware of, but haven't yet fixed. Responding to requests for a larger focus on bug fixes, one of Arrowhead's community managers recently said: "It's important to us to maintain the cadence that we promised – one Warbond per month – but equally important to everyone to fix the glaring bugs and technical issues. There's just only so much time in a work week."
