First major patch of Helldivers 2's 60-day plan is a huge list of changes designed to do two things: Keep divers alive for longer, and kill Bots and Bugs much quicker

After a run of daily patch note teases, Arrowhead has finally released the first major Helldivers 2 patch that forms part of the studio's 60-day plan to bring some fun back into the game. 

The chonky tome comes in at 4,500 words, which you can read on Steam now, but some of the bigger changes relate to you specifically. Arrowhead is tweaking damage mechanics to ensure the hurt that Helldivers - you, essentially - get is more consistent over time. Bonus headshot damage is down to 50% from 100%, but, to compensate, you'll take increased damage to other parts of the body.
