March 12, 2024
▼Overview ・Today's patch is dealing with the spawn rate of heavily armored Terminid enemies as well as the possible play against them. It also contains some fixes to UI elements and crash fixes. ▼Balancing Enemies: ・The amount of heavily armored targets that spawn on higher difficulties, especially for Terminids, have been a big discussion point online and internally. The intent is for groups to have to bring some form of anti-tank capability but not to the degree previously needed. ・Reduced the spawn rate of Chargers and Bile Titans on difficulties 7 and up. In addition we have reduced the risk of spawn spikes of Chargers and Bile Titans. ・Please note that we have changed the distribution of enemy types, not reduced difficulty. Expect other enemy types to appear in greater numbers instead. ・Lowered the health of the Charger's head. It should now be at a point where a well placed shot from a Recoilless Rifle or EAT-17 instantly kills a charger. ・Together with the unfortunately undocumented change of last patch that increased the armor penetration ability of less well placed shots for EAT-17s and Recoilless Rifle shots, Chargers should now be easier to handle by well equipped groups. ▼Gameplay ・"Electronic Countermeasures" operation modifier, which had a chance of giving you a random stratagem instead of the one you input, has been removed in order to be reworked, and will be reintroduced in a future iteration. We found that this modifier wasn’t communicated clearly enough and overall caused more frustration than excitement with the way it was currently implemented. This change was made in 1.000.100 but was unintentionally omitted from the patch notes. ▼Fixes ・Fixed missing text on several HUD / UI elements. ・Fixed several subtitle / VO mismatches in the news videos. ・Fixed various crashes that occurred mid-gameplay and when deploying to missions. ▼Known Issues ・Game crashes when attempting to use a stim while inside an Exosuit. ・Pink artifacts may appear in the sky when setting off large explosions. ・Automaton Dropship seemingly disappears and slides in after being shot down. ・Shots from arc-based weapons may not count towards kills in post-mission stats. ・Players cannot unfriend other players befriended via friend code. ・Cross-platform friend invites might not show up in the friend requests tab. ・Players may be unable to select loadout or return to ship when joining a multiplayer game session via PS5 Activity Card. ・The Exosuit can destroy itself with rockets if it fires while turning. ・Text chat box display is obstructed by the cinematic letterboxing during extraction. ・Some people are unable to accept friend requests. This is mostly an issue cross platform |
Patch 1.000.102 was released for Helldivers 2 on March 12, 2024 and introduces nerfs to the Chargers and Bile Titans. Both these enemy types had their spawn rates reduced for higher difficulties, and the developers have specifically lowered the health of the Charger's head.
In addition, the developers have addressed several issues related to missing text in the HUD/UI and various crashes that often occured during gameplay and when deploying to missions.

Patch 1.000.100 is mainly a balance patch that brought several nerfs to "meta" weapons, like the Breaker and Railgun, and buffs for weapons, like the Punisher. The patch also fixed the infamous Armor Rating Bug, so armor now reflects their actual defense.
