Helldivers 2 June 25 hotfix patch notes: FAF-14 Spear fix, bug issues, more

Helldivers 2 has released a brand new hotfix patch to help stop any frustrating issues with the FAF-14 Spear, as well as big fixes to many other key weapons, armor, and more.

With all the new Warbonds, weapons, armor, and Major Orders, Helldivers 2 is constantly changing. As such, there’s sometimes a need for a quick hotfix to help iron out any annoying bugs, crashes, or weapon frustrations.

That’s exactly what happened on June 25, when Arrowhead Game Studios dropped a brand new hotfix, bringing some highly anticipated patches after the previous one broke the FAF-14 Spear initially. Here’s all you need to know.

What’s changed in the Helldivers 2 June 25 hotfix?

The primary change in this hotfix is to the FAF-14 Spear. Specifically, players were having issues with the game crashing when aiming with the support weapon. This has now been sorted and shouldn’t happen again.

On top of this, players will see multiple fixes from certain armor passives now working as intended to fixes to the Quasar Cannon on hot or cold planets.
