New Helldivers 2 patch takes care of all those AFK queue dodgers, but one of its worst bugs still remains

Helldivers 2.

What you need to know

  • Helldivers 2 has been afflicted with severe server capacity issues this past week, resulting in players often having to wait in long queues before they can log into the game.
  • Many have tried to queue dodge by going AFK on their ship whenever they're not playing, taking up server space an active player could be using.
  • A new update for Helldivers 2 has fixed this issue by implementing a system that kicks idle players back to the title screen after 15 minutes.
  • The patch also fixes a number of different glitches and crashes, though it doesn't fix the frustrating bug that's causing armor values to not work properly and making medium and heavy armor useless.
