Shams Jorjani, CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead, says morale at the development team has dramatically improved since early September when the game's Into the Unjust update launched and seemingly brought along with it myriad bugs and performance issues.
The meaty Into the Unjust update added new desert-type hive world planets with giant Terminid structures and labyrinthian caves crawling with bugs, brand new mission types and tactical objectives, and new enemy types, including the notoriously resilient Hive Lord worm thing. Unfortunately, it also added plenty of bugs of the boring, inconvenient variety as well as significant technical issues messing with frame rates and stability.
