Previously, armor was not preventing any damage upon headshots, whether players had armor with a 0 rating or armor with a 200 rating, and this frustrated players.Helldivers 2players have been constantly nagging the developers to fix this, as they have been getting headshots left and right.

However, the latest patch has fixed that, as now armor with an armor rating above 100 will have reduced headshot damage. This will surely make Helldivers happy who have been feeling helpless due to the headshot damage and would freely be able to take on Automatons and Terminids.

The Gunships sideways movement has now increased a bit, and Scout Strider Riders are now a little less vulnerable to explosions, so players need to do more than blow them up to take them down. Fog generators health and armor have increased, and gunship spawners now have a much lower limit on active gunships.
The patrol spawning has also increased if there are less than 4 players, so the fewer the players, the harder the fight is going to be. However, the developer has mentioned that there is no change for 4-player missions, but solo players will notice changes at“higher difficulties.”
Arrowhead has made minor changes to gameplay to improve the overall experience, such as level generation improvements, options to disable automatic climbing and vaulting while sprinting, and others. Several crash fixes have also been taken care of, and the developer is also working on fixing any other known issues inHelldivers 2.
