A new Helldivers 2 patch finally stops players killing themselves with shrapnel from the Eruptor.

Last month, Helldivers 2 players were being slaughtered by what they suspected were rebounding rockets from Automaton enemies. Developer Arrowhead explained that no, players weren't being killed by rebounding rockets, but rather explosive shrapnel, which was just introduced earlier that very same week via a brand new patch for the shooter.
