Helldivers with a flair for the dramatic (or psychotic) got good news yesterday when Arrowhead announced that, "thanks to some groundbreaking military research into pointier flag tips," the CQC-1 One True Flag melee weapon in Helldivers 2 "can now be proudly planted directly into enemies—dead or alive." Arrowhead described the heraldric upgrade as "absolute democracy" and I certainly can't argue with that, but there is one small problem: Players are reporting that planting the flag now crashes the game.
The surprise twist, as noted by reddit Sad-Needleworker-5990 (via Kotaku), is that planting the flag doesn't cause your game to crash—but everyone else does.
